Now lets Guess the twist! (Lady in Water edition)
Guess 1: Paul Giamatti has drowned in the pool, and the "nymph" is his subconscious mind's idea of what the Paramedic (Bryce Dallas Howard) is while she tries to save him.
Guess 2: There is no nymph. Paul's character is suffering from dementia. In fact, there is no pool, the entire episode was a daydream he had after his lobotomy.
Guess 3: the nymph is David Bowie, an alien from another world who came to Earth to find water. Luckily he landed in a pool. Paul teaches him to play guitar left handed, and Ziggy Stardust is born!
"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

Waitaminute, how could a Sea Nymph survive in a fresh water, ultra-chlorinated apartment pool? I think that's asking for a little too much suspension of disbelief.
|
.....so believing in.. a sea nymph doesn't require much suspension of disbelief at all, but accepting her in chlorinated water is a stretch?

LOL!  I hear you loud and clear. It always makes me shake my head when I hear such double standards when it comes to suspension of disbelief in films! |

My post was a joke. If you like Harry Potter, Star Wars, LOTR, etc, why is accepting a sea nymph any big deal?
Since I saw Potter at a preview I didn't get to see the teaser. The only attached trailer was the now-ancient teaser for The DeVinci Code that everyone's seen a jillion times.

With Shyamalan's name on it, that is enough for me to not see it.
6th Sense was good but I'm tired of the hype endings which arent any good.

Aw man.... I went to the bathroom in the middle of a melancholic trailer featuring Paul Giamati apparently playing his usual loser self... was it for this movie?

Yes, yes it was Holadem, you didn't miss much though. It's a pretty deceiving trailer/teaser(?) because I was like, "Oh god, not the 'Sideways' guy again!!" (I hate Sideways to give some context ). Then after the last fade out it brings up Shyamalan's name with some freakyish kind of music rift and I'm like, ooooooo. Haha |

Saw the teaser. It bored the heck out of 400+ people. Very strange. Cannot say it made me want to see it.
Meanwhile, the Superman Returns teaser has the audience very excited (despite it not showing very much).
Death to PG-13! And now death to DVNR too!!

And for the record, I saw the ending of The Sixth Sense coming a mile away, it amazes me how nobody caught it considering it's about a kid who talks to dead people, it was painfully obvious to me.
|
I had a friend over the other day. We ended up watching Men in Black, but she almost chose to watch my copy of The Sixth Sense. She said, "I've wanted to see this again after I found out that Bruce Willis was really dead." I looked at her for a second, thinking about what she had just said before I replied, "Wait, they tell you he's dead at the end of the movie!" I don't know if she didn't see the ending, or what, but the entire twist ending had gone completely over her head, and she didn't know what it was until a long while later.
FYI, the ending did come as a surprise to me. I had heard the movie was good, and that I should avoid reading anything about it, so I was able to avoid the news that there was a twist ending.
