*raises hand* I'm looking forward to it.

I'm getting it the day it comes out.

(Mainly because it's a great movie to watch at home, curled up on the couch with my Jenny, considering she screamed all the way through it when we saw it in theaters together.

That's the great thing about M. Night Shyamalan. His movies are artistic while at the same time, contain all of the entertainment values of film. He doesn't choose only one of the two.

I'm already signed up for it through the Columbia House DVD club.

I know this was discussed before, but what are the specs for the DVD? Features? I'm asking again just in case something changed

I'll rent it first... Then if I like it, I'll buy it.

For some reason, i found this movie frightening but not really M's style.

I don't understand how you could say that it wasn't his style. It was very M. Night in its visuals and was a film that appealed to the mind as well as the emotions. Seems like M. Night to me....

Metropolis04 · 01-03-2003, 12:09 AM

The visuals... but the ending was strange. usually M. Night would have some weird twist, but this ended too easily.

Right, but he understands that he can't rely on the twist ending for his whole career. Wisely, he didn't use it to end "Signs." I thought the ending was more than adequate. In fact, I found it to be outstanding and powerful, wrapping up the film very well.

I'm in complete agreement with Andy.
