The Happening?



I ended up heading back to BIRMINGHAM for the weekend. Of course, P.Ry, Bush, and I had to see the obligatory movie on a gorgeous summer's day. Since P.Ry has had the recent habit of choosing the absolute worst movies, I obviously figured this one would be different.
Going to the movies with P.Ry does have it's additional benefits though. You see, he's a military man, with military privileges. Ipso facto -- military discount. You should see when people DON'T give him a military discount. It's a gong show. (Enter: the homeless man selling hot dogs outside of bars in Pontiac.)
But I digress.
Bush was able to get in for free though, so that was nice. And I was pretty excited to see the movie because I had heard absolutely nothing good about it. Soon enough, once the movie began, I could see why M. Night should have never taken this piece of shit off the drawing board.
SPOILER ALERT! The movie fucking blows.
I don't even know where to begin or end with this movie. I shouldn't even call it a movie. It was like watching a person with no hands try and work their pant's zipper--you just can't bear to watch, but you know you have to see them piss themselves.
If I had more time to tell you all about it right now, I would. But to save your time and money I'll make it easy on you. Basically, people start catch some bullshit disease spread by plants who get angry with them. It's like an extreme case of the Asian Bird flu or SARS or herpes. I didn't understand it whatsoever.



To make a horrifyingly long story short, neurotransmitters are blocked in the head and blah blah blah the infection makes you want to kill yourself. Moral of the story: Half way through the movie I had to turn to P.Ry and Bush and let them (as well as everyone else in earshot) know about my wish at that moment: I wanted to catch the infection everyone in the movie was getting... so I could kill myself.

Now that is just a horrible comment that I can't help but love.
"It was like watching a person with no hands try and work their pant's zipper--you just can't bear to watch, but you know you have to see them piss themselves."

Dare I say it, that's a Joe D masterpiece.
