  1. Could it be worse than Lohan’s “I know Who Killed Me”, or M.Knights “The Village”- If it is, then there should be some sort of compensatory measure for theater goers. I can’t imgine anything being worse than the two I mentioned. Ishtar has nothing on them!

  2. Devilgirl- I’ll admit “The Village” was an abomination of M.Night’s career, but doesn’t “The Happening” look scary as hell??

  3. @Mollination I wouldn’t mind seeing The Happening, Wahlberg is in it, so that alone makes it worth while for me. I normally like M.Knight’s movies, but his last few have been dogs!

  4. Oh save your money! I saw a screening of the Happening at Fox last week. 2 hours I am so pissed off I will never get back! M Night needs to find another kind of vehicle. The best they can say is the movie is R rated…think about it. As far as the Love Guru goes, even the trailers are bad. I am amazed he got so many decent people to do the film really. So that leaves Get Smart this weekend.

  5. M. Night Shamalamadingdong thinks his audience is stupid, and it’s even more apparent with his recent Not Happening movie. It got rightfully panned, and then Night has the nerve to come out and say that it’s supposed to be a B-movie. Even if it was, it sux!!!

  6. Rule of Thumb: any movie with jessica alba is going to suck, unless you just put her in a bikini and don’t let her speak. that poor girl cannot act. I feel bad for Romany Malco; I love him in Weeds; he deserves better.

  7. Plus a voice-cameo by the “In A Wurrrrld Guy” (aka The Voice Over Guy)

    And Ben Kingsley?!?! 8O

  8. My boyfriend usually loves Mike Myers (though God knows why), but after watching this movie, he said, “Well, that’s 90 minutes of my life that I can never get back.” Not a single person in the theatre laughed, giggled, chortled, or even said “ha” the entire time. Half-way through, everyone just started talking and yelling at the screen, like it was a midnight showing of “Rocky Horror,” except that the only funny dialogue going on was in the audience.

  9. Haha! I saw a ‘day in the life’ of the ‘In A WUUURLLD…” Movie voice over guy. The man has a limo pick him up and drop him off when he is done from projects.. he gets paid. Looks like a regular guy, I swear he has the best job ever.

    Shymalan’s The Village was so bad I was talking back to the screen (we rented it so I didn’t piss off an audience) it was so terrible. That line they said ‘The name we shall not speak” or what not. My husband referred to it as “That movie whose name we shall not say..” SUCK!

    I like Glitter, Clash of the Titans, Any movie by Steven Seagal and ‘Crossroads’ That Britney movie) as hilarious crap movies to watch and talk back to. Sometimes it’s fun. usually alcohol needs to be involved.

  11. So glad I saw this before taking the kids to see it, they love Mike Myers… we’re going to Get Smart!

  12. Um, I really liked “The Village.” Joaquin Phoenix can do no wrong in my eyes.

    Considering this movie stars Mike Myers, Jessica Alba and Justing effing Timberlake, can anyone be surprised that it’s terrible?? Like really.

  13. I knew this movie was a sh*tty idea when I first read the premise behind it. Midgets by themselves aren’t funny unless you’re 12 years old. Justin Timberf*ck is unwatchable in any capacity. Jessica Alba, while pretty to look at, is the kiss of death to any movie as well. She needs to go ahead and take her top off already at this point.

  14. Because I say So:

    LOL @ Leah, Vdantev, & Squeaky.

    …still trying to figure out why MiserAlba gets hired. I don’t think she’s anything special to look at, and lawd knows the mannequin can’t act….so I just don’t get it.

    Plus, why, oh WHY, do people put JT in movies? His voice is annoying enough when he sings! How can we be expected to listen to him when he talks???!

  15. It was painful to even watch the preview. Hopefully this 15 year old girl that I mentor won’t want to see it because we just saw the Zohan movie and I think I laughed only twice.

  16. “The Guru” is banned in India (for obvious reasons) Won’t be lining up to see that movie, also - can somebody tell me why you hated “The Village” so much? I’m not a big fan of his - though “6th Sense” was excellent. “The Village” was by no means, a “great” movie - but I thought the story line was fairly clever… more thought was put into it than a lot of other movies coming out as of late.

  17. Actually, I saw Get Smart and I enjoyed it, as most of the theater did as well. People that came out of Love Guru were pissed and complaining - so we can see who’s going to come out on top this weekend at the box office.

  18. Persistent Cat:

    Although part of me is a little happy to see hockey getting some attention, the Leafs suck and Mike Myers just has to be stopped.

  19. My car blew the head gasket on the way to the cinema so I didn’t get to make my stand against Myers and go see Get Smart with the kids…. I feel robbed!

    :cry:

  20. It cant be worse than the village. Shamalama is the worst writer ever…

  21. In 2nd grade, my class had to read a book called “Running Out of Time.” It’s about a girl who thinks she’s living in the 19th century, but it’s just a reenactment village and none of the parents tell their kids. Then there’s a diphtheria epidemic, and they send the girl out into the real world to get medicine. Now doesn’t that plot seem familiar…? :?

  22. I’m not surprised — the trailer looks so terrible. Austin Powers was funny a million years ago, but got old quickly and didn’t warrant those terrible sequels.

    I loved So I Married an Axe Murderer — not a bodily function in the whole thing, as I recall. Has he regressed?

    Also, I think Myers is trying to be Peter Sellers, but fails miserably.

  23. Eurgh, the trailers to both movies look terrible. I loved Mike Myers in the Austin Powers movies, and Wayne’s World, but seriously man, the love guru looks like a pile of pig sh*t. The fact that they put the best parts into the trailer and there wasn’t ANYTHING good in them? That’s really bad. The Happening was absolutely awful. I didn’t like the plot, and it was pretty sad, because there were some great actors in there, but they had nothing to work with. And M.Knight’s movies are usually really fantastic, so that made me even sadder that he had regressed so much (like Myers). I haven’t seen Get Smart, and I don’t plan on it, because both Anne Hathaway and Steve Carrel are probably my least favourite actors ever. Jessica Alba, although admittedly not a fantastic actress, shouldn’t be submitted to the disgusting things people have said about her (vdantev, I’m talking to you). Just say no. We live in the 21st century, f*ckers.
