Actually, the full sypnosis is:

"After mankind abuses the earth, the earth physically fights back by all the plants producing toxins that cause people to violently kill themselves. Mark Wahlberg's character tries to find a way to survive 'The Happening"

But yeah, I want to see it. Especially in the tradition of watching scary movies on Friday the 13th.

Normally I would be angry but I heard the movie is his worst yet. I feel so bad for the guy. Great director but crap writer. Or is his directorship a bakwaas too?

Dude, I found out some of the ways people kill themselves in the movie:



*potential spoilers below*

























1) One guy feeds himself to lions
2) One guy lies on the ground in front of a huge lawnmower and gets run over
3) A lady slashes her throat with a dagger-ish thingy
4) Countless people are hung, shot, and jump off tall buildings

My neice is one of the extras in the movie. She even said it was not worth watching at the movies.

To be honest, the only thing I was wondering about it was, why are they killing themselves? I had no desire to see it at all, but I was curious about that. Now that I know, I don't need to do anything with it.

As for the guy... We all know Sixth Sense was amazing, Unbreakable was ok. But honestly, doesn't he have a panel or something of people to tell him "Hey, this movie is terrible" for all the rest of them?

Seems like a pretty good premise. I think maybe it was just the execution. 'Cause I saw the trailers and the acting was a joke.
