Let’s be real the last time that M Night Shyamalan made a watchable movie it was called The Sixth Sense. So this weekend when Mark Wahlberg was talking about his movie The Fighter that is getting Oscar buzz, he wound up talking about a movie that was getting Razzie buzz…The Happening, and let’s just say he agreed with everyone who saw the movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter when Marky Mark met Amy Adams they talked about the 2008 bomb, “We had actually had the luxury of having lunch before to talk about another movie and it was a bad movie that I did. She dodged the bullet. And then I was still able to … I don’t want to tell you what movie … alright The Happening. Fuck it.” He added, “It is what it is. Fucking trees, man. The plants. Fuck it. You can’t blame me for not wanting to try to play a science teacher. At least I wasn’t playing a cop or a crook.” I actually saw the movie and he was believable as a science teacher, granted we didn’t see him teaching but I believed he teaching science.
BTW my advice to other actors is if you see that M Night wrote and directed the movie you are auditioning for, run like Forest Gump because the chances of it being good is as good as you seeing dead people.
