At one time, the working title for Disaster Movie was Meet the Spartans 2: The Story of McLover & The Kingdom of the Crystal Beer Can. (I'm being 100% serious.)

Hey, Carmen Electra!

Who'd a thunk it?

Honestly, the poster doesn't do anything but rip off The Day After Tomorrow (how old is that film again?), which itself was a tongue in cheek disaster film.

The world will end on August 29 2008.

Wow. Three of these spoof films in one year. That must be a new low...er, I mean record.

Hey! Now <I>THAT</I> would be cool - an animated spoof.

Except, er...most of the recent animated films that have <I>not</I> been fairy tales have been, um, fairy tale spoofs.

Nevermind...

Okay, word of advice to everyone: Don't see "The Happening" unless you want to be disturbed for life and happen to be in the mood for watching almost non-stop violence for a whole 90 minutes. If I had known all of the stuff that was in this movie in advance, I probably wouldn't have gone.

It is, far and away, Shyamalan's absolute worst film.

Wow, more than Lady In The Water...!?

The Guardian has a good review of The Happening, if you can find it on their Unlimited site.

It was a choice of that or The Incredible Hulk on Firday, so we went for Hulk...much better than the first one. Not a lot to say about it but it didn't outstay its welcome and had a few nice moments in it. I was surprised at how well it was directed and the VFX were strangely not real but didn't feel fake either. And I liked the Stark Industries references too...they are so working towards an Avengers movie.

I heard Capitan America's shield is in Iron Man...Anybody catch it?

Capitan America?

Is that like a Spanish superhero?

Sorry...I couldn't resist Meg!

Normally I scramble to correct my spelling and grammatical errrors, but I think I'll leave that one be.

I actually lol'ed at that one

The Happening was awesome. It was like he purposely tried to make a bad cheesy horror movie but never advertised it that way.

Some parts were funny, in a weird kind of way...

If you have to pick between one or the other, I'd say see "The Incredible Hulk" instead. The green guy is a lot more fun this time around, and the final confrontation between him and Abomination is nothing short of amazing (even if it's not nearly 26 minutes long, like we originally heard).
