Feb 15 2008'The Happening' Trailer Has Disappointing Twist Ending
Another trailer to M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening--this one showing off more of the build-up to the inevitable twist ending. Like the malaise of daily life unavoidably leading to empty tears, the film's payoff apparently has equally unfulfilling results: Kyle, who sent the link, has read the script, and assures us that the reason for the unexplained suicides is "f***ing retarded." I never would have guessed.

After Disney wouldn't even touch "The Village" and it inevitably tanked when someone else did pick it up, someone still had the nerve to let Mr. Shamalami make another major release? Daaaamns youuuu!
Also, Marky Mark still sucks.

"There appears to be an event happening."
Did you seriously type this with the intention of making an actor say it?
"We lost contact."
"With who?"
"Everyone."
Also the world just exploded. And it's all just a dream. The End.

Why has Mark Wahlberg taken it upon himself to both sound and act like Bobby Bacala ?

this is what wiki said::::
The Happening is a paranormal thriller in which a family must survive a global environmental crisis.[1] The film will portray the earth's plants unleashing airborne neurotoxins that cause people to commit violent suicide. Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel star as an estranged couple who must escape this apocalyptic epidemic.

I've always read (certain parts) of the script, and I agree about the reason behind the suicides being "fucking retarded". Here's a hint: think of the most harmless organisms on the planet, add a tacky real-world connection, and bingo.

The only problem with this is whole thing is my celebrity crush is Zooey Deschanel, so I'll probably be seeing this no matter how bad the reviews are.

Mark Wahlberg is confused for 90 minutes.

Possible explanations:
- due to voting machine irregularities, G.W. Bush is elected for a third term
- the Rapture
- just one big coincidence -- "Oh, hey, you too? See you on the way down!"
- really really delayed effects of Y2K
- Scientologists
- Brangelina splits up
- that f***ing Head-On commercial

Well, the explanation does have to do with a GW, though this may not stand for George Walker.

This movies is going to be just like "The Village," a thinly veiled political movie with a stupid story. I bet the plot will be global warming caused by pollution has pissed off the plants and now they are killing humans, by making them kill themselves. LAME!

I'm not sure what's scarier... the fact that I actually clicked on the trailer link, or the fact that Scarlett Johanssen (don't care enough to spellcheck) was what actually popped up on the screen. Either way.... What a Twist!

The entire dialogue consists of questions and dumbfounded answers ...this movie needs some kinda sexy party right in the middle to spice things up
