look I defend Meet The Feebles as a proper work of poetry so I get the auteur-as-visionary thing but Signs is just a pile of pretentious hot vomit and cocaine hangover

Many great films know the taste of persecution. From It’s a Wonderful Life, to Blade Runner, to The Shining...sadly, Signs also knows the sting of missplaced derision.

Sixth Sense was great and I loved it. Signs was my second (and last) M Night film and I watched it without prejudice. I watched it once and so I won't be able to get into a scene by scene breakdown of why I might be right or wrong about its qualities. All I know is the utter boredom, confusion, and ultimately despair I experienced as this slow-mo car crash unfolded and the only enjoyment I've ever gotten from the thing has been trashing it on an online rugby league forum in the last 4 minutes.

I'm not saying it wasn't awesome; it inspired awe in how little care and attention is required to be paid a million dollars or whatever by hard-nosed Hollywood businessmen to make something that's less entertaining and has more plotholes than my second poo today.
