Innocent
Innocent (Adjective) In this context, "innocent" is a euphemism for "sucks donkey balls."In advance of the release of tomorrow's The Happening, which is sure to continue his rapid decent into less-than-mediocrity, M. Night Shyamalan had a few more words to say about his last film, the critical and box-office dud, Lady in the Water:
What I believe is important to make a good story is you have to put yourself into it. And people on the street have come up to me and said that [watching Lady was] some kind of transformative experience for them, in some bizarre and spiritual way. It's definitely the most spiritual movie I've ever made. It's sad, because maybe it was just too innocent for the times or whatever. (Source)
I believe that transformative experience they were talking about, M., was the transformation from hopeful and optimistic to completely fucking bored, while that "spiritual" feeling they felt was nausea. But I do agree it was too innocent for the times, if by "times," you mean: Every period in the history of the world, and by "innocent" you mean: Incoherent, mindless, nonsensical, confusing, narcissistic, dull, and dumb.
The Happening opens tomorrow! I can't wait, if by "can't wait," you mean, I wouldn't watch that movie with Bea Arthur's dick.
Wow...delusion is a powerful thing. I think I'm gonna ride the bomb and go see this one with a couple friends...sheerly for the purpose of making fun of it.
Two summers ago I lived in California in an apartment with no air conditioning. One day in July it hit 113 degrees. I was seriously concerned I might die of heat stroke, so I went to my local movie theater. I watched one film that I either enjoyed or didn't hate, and when that was over there were still several hours of daylight left, so I figured I'd just watch whatever happened to be playing next, which happened to be "Lady in the Water," which I had heard absolutely nothing about. I sat dumbfounded through the entire thing, able to think only, "What the FUCK is going on here?" It made absolutely no sense whatsoever, and was only SLIGHTLY less unpleasant than being roasted alive at my house.
