, something like that I read.

I heard that, too.

But, it sounds too retarded to be legit, I thought the person who posted that when I saw it was joking around, but I thought the same thing when I heard the twist to The Village and it ended up being for real. If that's actually the twist, realization, whatever, then that's the worst one yet.

all spoilers i have seen on the net say exactly that though
I've also read that the ending is predictable because its not. Much like the recent stephen king movie

If it does end up being true. The ridiculousness reminds me of the family guy episode where stephen king is in the publishers office and the publisher asks him about his next book and king thinks for a moment only to to pick up a lamp from the publishers desk and say that his next book is about killer lamps

I hope this movie isn't gonna be a repeat of The Village; a lot of hype and secrecy, and then the movie is a disappointment. I remember in the weeks before it came out, the various cast-members were promoting it on Leno and Letterman and said that they signed a contract of secrecy and they'd be fined millions of dollars if they leaked anything. So after all the anticipation, the big secret of the village turned out that it was a living history exhibit, and the monsters reminded me of Jabba the Hut's pig guards.

On a sidenote, the FLDS polygamist ranch in Texas reminds me of The Village.

I don't think it's the thing I mentioned in the spoilers? I mean I've never seen

The Village is pretty much like some people hate it others like it. I found myself quite interested on the story and idea behind the movie. Although, I can see why people didn't like the movie...no big twist or great climax ending....thus the movie sucks. But we can't blame the audience..that's the studio fault for advertising the film as a horror movie rather than social commentary with suspense.

Social commentary?

the second seems a bit to predictable. I hope thats what it is about though, and not the first possibility.

M. Night Shyamalan's Christian?

Also the villain was a retard in a costume.

Yeah, there is a social commentary in the film. Some people took it as a post 9/11 America others (like myself) interpret the film as illustration of what a utopia would look like in our modern day. Whereas some took it as tribute to the Amish.

Help yourself to whichever one you like. 😉

That was the icing on the cake of the movie's disappointment; the villain was literally a retard in a costume. How did he go from The Pianist to that?

I don't think it was any of those. I think it was just another one of his movies that was meant to be scary. I've seen all his movies, and I didn't get the feeling that any of them had an underlying message; just entertainment for the sake of it.

I heard that at the end of this movie it turns out they are all asleep in the future!

Well...that's just us movie geeks seeking deeper meaning. 😛

Oh, man...After watching that last trailer, it's f*cking killer trees, man...It's ****ing killer trees...

Some 'nature fights back' bullshit. F*ck. I had such high hopes for Mr. Man...

What? 'The Pianist'...What?

I hope this is better than Lady in the Water even though I like Bryce Howard. Mark Wahlberg is an interesting choice for this kind of role.

It seems the
