"Signs"

Post by NunoFreak »

This shouldn't technically go into this section of the board, but I will save myself by saying that the music in "Signs" was excellent! The score was suspensful and really added to the drama of the film. As for the movie itself; it kicked balls. From beginning to end "Signs" was enjoyable and it really did give me chills at times. Put yourself in Mel Gibson's family's shoes, freaky deaky shit, yo!

"Signs"...just go see it!

sorry to spam your topic but I just wanted to say that I love Mel Gibson .. he's my favorite actor and considering he's like 46 (or something like that) he's so hot :love:

Any movie Mel stars in is gonna be a good movie .. I haven't seen it yet but I heard it was scary ..

Good to hear it's good cause I'm DYING to see that movie. Hmm...if I leave the house now I can make it for the 4:00 showing....nah...anyways. I'm a big Joaquin Phoenix fan and Mel Gibson's cool so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm into that alien stuff too. When I first saw the previews months ago I was like, "that looks like it sucks" but they've grown on me to the point where I'm on edge about seeing the movie. :freak:

I just saw Signs...I thought it was kinna lame, but I did like the music.

In essence, the concept was great. I loved the concept.

But the movie was lame. The alien was kinna dumb looking, and some things left me a little confused.

He just bought a house on Loburough (sp?) Lake, which is about 20 minutes out of Kingston. It's on the way to my cousin's cottage, which is on the same lake.

I think that making a movie about crop circles is kinda cheesy being that we found out years ago that a bunch of guys made them by stepping on wood planks and used rope tied to a post to make perfect circles.

That was only one case. There have been hundreds or more cases of crop circles across the planet and the culprits have not come forward for all of them, leaving a veil of mystery shrouding the remaining. I don't know if I believe in crop circles, but I must admit that they are sometimes so intricate that they become a beautiful form of artwork. Whomever or whatever is responsible for them has some real talent. They should go commercial! :)

Yeah but there have been documented crop circles that can't be explained .. I watched a documentary on it once and it was pretty interesting ..

He just bought a house on Loburough (sp?) Lake, which is about 20 minutes out of Kingston. It's on the way to my cousin's cottage, which is on the same lake.


Apparently Mel used to live about 20 minutes away from me in Fonthill .. had this huge house on the hill. I never saw him though .. this was awhile ago though

There was this giant rumour that richard gere moved in down the road from me....and was on my mail route..but no one could ever prove it. people were spotting him everywhere though...he was like elvis for a while. pretty funny. shame of it was that it turned out he never lived here at all...it was someone else with the last name gere and people were just seeing things...those crackheads. :P

I saw a documentary on crop circles once too....quite convincing 8O

I was watching TLC a year or so ago, and they showed how it was done. Quite simple.

3 guys, each would have a flat peice of wood, about 7 feet long and 1 foot wide. On each end (long ends) they would have a hole, where a rope was put through and tied in a knot so it would be supported from each end. This rope was long enough so they could hold this apparatus up by the rope and then put one foot on the board, where they would step one step at a time and slowly push the crop down, foot by foot. It would usually take a few hours with them all working. :)

(I hope that made sence to everyone! I'll rewrite if anyone doesn't understand.)

Yeah. That's the same one I saw.

I would want to go see this movie, but I know I'd be sitting there saying "Oh my god! How stupid are you people?!? I know how they did it. Fuck, that's stupid. Oh my god, Mel's acting like such a pussy. "Oh no! Another crop circle! Ahhh!" Just set up cameras at each field that they might come to next. I mean, come on..." etc...

You'll be sorta suprised when you see it.

Mel plays the token skeptic.

i thought signs was awesome. m night shyamalan is one of the best young directors out there. its pretty tough to beat a resume of Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and now Signs. all excellent movies. but yeah, the music did kick ass.
