I liked the happening.

A lot.

There.

I said it.

It is not often we get real life famous film directors on the board.

Welcome, M. Night! I really liked The Sixth Sense.

imagine if I really was him though?? wouldn't that be a great.....twist?

What can I say - at one point during the film I had two voices in my head fighting.

One said "this is terrible. this is awful" while another voice kept asking "then why are you enjoying it so much" and then I gave in to its stupidity and went along with it.

It is one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen.

That outtake is almost as funny as Adam's pronunciation of Jeroen Krabbé.... but not quite  :)

Glad to see both Serenity and Maverick get a mention, both would make my list. However, Serenity is only second behind Withnail and I on my "movies I want Matty to add to his Netflix queue" list.

It would be an interesting twist, yes. I will say your enthusiasm really makes me want to see the film (despite the Filmspotting warning against it). The "M. Night" joke was my way of saying, "Hello."

According to Roeper, Wahlberg was "wonderfully understated".

You can't actually believe that most people (or at least Americans) would possibly pronounce that name correctly.

Does anyone know where I can get this episode at this point?  I want to hear Matty's rant again and I deleted it. Stupid me.
