Machete!

i saw the happening, did not see lady in the water(only the trailer) but a lot of people went to that movie expecting it to be a horror/gore, horror/thriller movie, because that's what they relate to or the only sci fi or fantasy fairy tail story for grown ups they know. or at least the most common genre they know.

the darker vibe of the fantasy did not help to distinguish the story from horror.

i did not see the movie, so i can't comment on how good or bad the movie was, but i do think it was a mistake to make a dark fantasy in a thriller container. or to make a dark fantasy in pg-13.

max payne could have been really something.

Right...I'm sure that's how he sold it to the studios who funded it, "I want to make a really crappy movie just to shut my critics up! Give me 100 million please!"

The Happening or Lady in the water? I thought you guys meant that Lady was his snub to critics. IMO The Happening is just a bad movie, on purpose or not.

I thought every one of his movies was a snub to his critics. And his fans.

LOL...Call me crazy but isn't MAKING A GOOD FILM the best way to silence your critics...
