Lady in the Water

Neilak20 · Post by **Neilak20** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:03 am

I know there is another thread in the "wolf movie" section about this film, but I just saw it last night at a screening and it isnt exactly a werewolf film. However the film is really good, and about sea Nimphs trying to return home while a beast made of grass and plants in the form of a wolf trys to stop her.

Anyone interested in chatting about the film can feel free to post here, I know it hasnt come out quite yet in regular release, but it is definatly worth seeing ^_^ I wouldnt mind seeing it again.

Gah, you suck!

I really want to see it, but alas I must wait till the official release.
I love all of Shyamalan's movies.
(and yes, I am one of the few people who appreciates The Village, because I knew his style and knew it wasn't going to be a hack and slash. I realized where it was going within the first five minutes.)

I loved that movie, knew where it was going from the cloths pins in one of the early scenes. I lucked out and got tickets to the screening because my friend Joly had them. Thank You Joly! (she just joined the Pack btw)

Did you know: i,ve already seen it. A friend had downloaded it from DC++ or bearshare. The quality wasnt good at all. A cam rip. When it comes on cinema here in sweden i will go anyway. Long live the cinema!!!

My local cinema has a big sign in the lobby about the illegality of theatre bootlegs. It outraged me that a rapist or a drunk driver who kills someone gets less jail time than someone doing a non-violent crime like film bootlegging.

Ah! That's a powerhouse of a private sector for you. Long live O Mighty Dollah!

On topic: I plan to see this movie. I love M. Night Shyamalan's stuff. The Village flat-out rocked.

This movie was long but it didn't disipoint, and OMG I would have never guessed some of these things

Neilak20 · Post by **Neilak20** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:51 pm

I just saw it again today, and its still great the second time through ^_^

It really keeps you guessing, which isnt something you see to often in movies, at least recently. With the acception of Freeborn and a few other's that is.

M. Night Shyamalan is famous for that. The Village kept me very engaged. He's a wonderful storyteller and doesn't get half the respect he deserves.
I'm going to check out the movie listings for my area and see if there's a late show going, I might dash out to see it.

He does have an ever growing fanbase. *wave's little M. Night Shymalan flag*
He's also a very good actor as well.
I can't wait for the DVD of "Lady in the Water"; I hope there will be a "making of" feature on it.

You may be able to do an online search and see which movie house's its showing in, and if any are near by.

Well, I liked it, the Scrunt was well-done, replace the grass with hair and it would make a nice werewolf. I liked the story too, but I must disagree with the opinion of Neilak, I think his acting wasn't quite there

Renorei · Post by **Renorei** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:07 am

I saw this movie, and I thought it was awesome. And I agree with neilak, M. Night's acting was pretty good in this movie. He has an important supporting role, and he did a great job with it.

The scrunt was awesome! I loved that creature! I don't get scared in most horror movies, but I did find the scrunt to be pretty frightening.

Evanstar · Post by **Evanstar** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:15 am

Saw this last night, I loved the scrunt and the movie overall. It did keep you guessing, up until the end.

Neilak20 · Post by **Neilak20** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:58 pm

I saw part of an interview with M. Night Shymalan, and while I thought the Scrunt was totally CG in the film, it turns out they did have a full sized one on set. I'0m not sure if it was anamatronic or a trained dog in make up (can they do that?) it was probably anamatronic though. I did get a good look at it in a "makeing of" they had in the interview, was kinda unsettling to see it and the camera in the same shot.

(also, ya'll can just call me "Neila" the "K20" is a separate bit

)

I saw the movie awhile ago, and it was long and boring BUT!! here and there it was good with the story telling and the creatures and all that.

*grin* I just saw the movie tonight and I adore it!

But what I wanted to share was this fun instance-
I was looking for photos of the scrunt and couldn't find any decent ones online until I stumbled upon this gallery

I was just a bit surprised when I saw the owner of the gallery- our very own fredricksam!

I had to go see it the night it came out

It was all that I hoped it would be....I really want to see it again...but no time or $$$...so I'll have to wait till it's out on dvd....

The only thing that sucked was everytime the scrunt was on screen there was a group of 14 year old girls that would scream...

OOOOOoooo...I was pissed....
