So I went to see Iron Man Saturday night, and there were all kinds 'o' geeks there who screamed over everything (I don't get the significance of SHIELD nor whatever Sammy L. J. was talking about in that scene after the credits, but if it means more terrific superhero movies I'm all for it). Obviously, there were previews before the movie. One of the previews started with this scene of a whole bunch of people getting off a train and trying to contact people in the outside world, and it was really weird and creepy and suspenseful. You could tell everyone was really into it.
And then the title came up.
"The Happening: a movie by M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN"
The entire audience groaned in unison. It was amazing.
