The Happening (First and ONLY Viewing)

Seriously, what the hell happened to M. Night Shyamalan?

Finally got around to watching The Happening last night. In case you haven't seen it yet, let me save you an hour and a half of your time. The characters in this movie run in fear from the wind.

The wind.

They even turn their heads back while running and, Godzilla-style, look up in fear at... the wind.

And that's not even the worst of it.

If that sounds like a good movie to you, give it a rent. If not, watch The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, or Signs again and savor some of the best sci-fi/fantasy storytelling in modern film.

I ask again: what the hell happened to M. Night Shyamalan?
