This is why you should install a Narf filter in your pool.
Or build a big beautiful wall which the Narfs will pay for...
Sam Henri Narf's are dangerous and blood thirsty creatures, but some are nice, I dunno...
@@samhenri7350 Wheres the brain,pinky turned up?
Great "point"
@benjovi55 Do weebs make your eyes red?
If you can only see the grass dog with your back turned to it and through a mirror... Why is it hiding?
because movie
The devil, Larry!
Larry! Is this a movie that's literally rotting away? 😅
Boooooooo
Extra Stealth.
I really want to see a M Night movie starring Neil Breen.
Breen is actually M Night, but the corrupted version
Oh my gawd…
how do we ensure this timeline happens?!?!🤣
Co staring Gary Busey as an elementary school teacher
That would kick ass
@@K-Effect this is the perfect movie!
How do we make this happen?!?!!
🤣
I bursted our laughing at the “No Crackheads” sign.
I Bill Murray Bill Murray?
That's exactly what I was thinking
+LectricSigma(Σ) I Bill always Bill Bill.
+LectricSigma(Σ) BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL
MURRAY THE ACTING GUYS
+LectricSigma(Σ) A friend of mine and myself are fans of Bill Murray... so we always greet each other by calling each other "Bill Murray". It's a sign of upmost respect. :)
+Duke Nukem, Hail To The King hahaha
A few years ago my sister were watching another M.Night Shyamalan film ... I wanna say"The 6th sense" anyway M. Night makes his custom cameo appearance and my sister says "I keep seeing this actor popping up everywhere lately, he's going to be a big star" I then had to explain to my sister that M.Dog makes appearances in all his own films.
I like your deadpan passive aggressive review style keep it up!
Passive? Lol. He definitely states his opinions.
I know. I love it too. His sarcasm is also off the charts.
Screw Shyamalan. He's an ego maniac who can't imagine himself ever doing anything wrong or his movies being anything less than perfect. No, it's ALL us. We're the bad ones, because we can't appreciate his innovative film making! Yes, Shyamalan, bless us feeble minded, puny mortals with more of your divine wisdom, oh God of film!
You're the ego maniac. Do. You think Speilberg himself thinks he made bad movies? No, directors and people to and need that confidence. Would Chris Nolan admit to making a bad film. No
jokesterr119
I'm an ego maniac? Okay, how? For what? Well, I may not have made a film, but I've spent years making several comics series, and guess what? There are some of them that, looking back, I don't like very much anymore. There are some that I admit aren't very good and don't hold up, or that I think I would've done differently if I were to try to now.
ANY kind of artist NEEDS to be able to look back at their work with a critical eye. That way, they'll see their own faults and strive to do better next time, to improve themselves and their work. That's GOOD. That's being humble. If someone can't do that without having a mental breakdown or having their spirit crushed, as you seem to be implying, if they have to look back on their work and think "Yep, I'm just perfect. I don't need to improve in any way. People just don't understand how utterly infallible and awesome I am," then they're going to stagnate because they just stop trying. Shyamalan is not another Spielberg or Chris Nolan.
jokesterr119 Are you comparing Noland & Spielberg with Shyamalan?
Pepsiman
Unfortunately, I think he is.
hey - at least japanese think he is a genius.
I learned something today: there are a lot of people who like Lady In the Water. I'm so happy that it takes all kinds to make up a world, and grateful they don't live in my apartment complex.
Gotta love this genre. Hysterical
Guilty pleasure movie, not good, but so ridiculous, and funny (intentionally and unintentionally), yet I like it in a weird way.
M. Night Shalamalamoolamalamon really named something in his “spooky” story a fucking “narf”? Pinky’s fucking callsign? Narf! Zoit! Egads, Brain!
I haven't seen it but it seems like Shamalan just assumed any idea he came up with had to work because of his overinflated ego. I think the basic concept of a water nymph living in a pool and a secret hidden world full of weird creature could be an awesome movie with the right writer and director. Anyone agree?
I don't think he chose himself because of ego.. I think he fullfilled a need which the script had, and maybe saw himself suitable enough for the role to be able capture what he devaloped in his head. Nothing wrong with this.
(But people are generally harsh toward any form of "self-insert").
There are many indie-vibe films out there with directors injecting themselves into their works with blatant narcissism, their faces hugging the camera, while their movies are completely empty of any story whatsoever, not even any significany story elements, fragments or tiny bits. Yet? They still get praised by many pretentious critics and for silly reasons.
Lady in The Water on the other hand did bring an interesting, enjoyable, fully devalopped, fleshed out story, with lots of action and scares, which many indie films do lack..
I don't know why many people hated this film, but we did love it, yet we were not even M. Night Shamalan fans back then.
@@ArabKatib note it was a good movie with good acting a little complicated but one of my favorites.
you should see the movie it's complicated and funny at times . the story is very deep and can be touching at times.
@@ArabKatib that movie is Haram
@@Pinhead101 Said the one who named himself a Cenobyte..
Walk up to a random woman and say, "You can see the eye of the scrunt through the grass if you use a mirror" and just wait for the refreshing burst of mace.
Why go through all that? It usually just takes "Hello".
I would just chuckle, and personally I've never used mace on anyone.
Scrunt? Sounds like something I call my exwife.
Brian Paul HAHAHA
lol
Scrunt sounds more like a slang term for a hairy crotch.
Vinesauce, anyone?
Brian Paul this is great! Lol
This guy is a genius. Glad I recently found his channel.
"Step outside. Go get a donut." - Johnny Depp
My new favorite quote.
I know it's 5 years late but fake or not, that quote is legitimately bonkers and I plan to use it all the time
Due to current events, this advice is a bad idea
I bet Shyamalan would want to make a sequel to this one. The Happening 2 came out, so why not "Lady in the Water 2: The Chronicles of Narfia"?
There's a "Happening 2?"
Dear God there can't be a Happening 2?! I left that timeline becau-........
This movie was amazing.. only unsophisticated Americans find this movie to be a bore.. unsophisticated americans like yourself.
@@valiken1 Oh, wow, thanks for the compliment!
The fact that Johnny Depp's strangest experience in Hollywood was with M. Night Shyamalan says A LOT about Shyamalan 😭💀
was a good movie the acting was great.
At least he didn't lose any finger parts though sooooo plus?
But wasn’t the interview with Depp an M.Nigth mocumentery?
Made by M.Night?
My wife and I were on vacation at the time of this movie’s release. It was a rainy day so we decided to go see this flick. The theatre, however, was a very old one and within about ten minutes or so, the projector broke down and we all (probably about 10 people total) were given a refund of the ticket cost and left. Was it divine intervention or just dumb luck?
He is a merciful God.
I guess it was just "dumb intervention"
It was divine intervention.
It was bad luck. You miss the opportunity to see a very special movie.
Why does Shyamalan feel like a more expensive version of Neil Breen?
I'm surprised M.Night hasn't made a movie about a man finding out big "secrets" about "government plans" to do...something. But only one man can "hack" into the government "systems" and save mankind.
Seriously, I don't understand how he keeps getting the budgets he gets.
@@ThatSockmonkey Actually, he now funds his own films. Yikes. He's Breening hard.
Lolol! 🤣
He just reminds me of a one hit wonder rapper from the 90s who keeps putting songs out that suck
The film critic should have been the main character. A cynical man who meets a water nymph who tells him to write a story about his experiences with her. We learn that the film critic is actually a former film writer who was blacklisted in the industry.
No "twists," no mythical creatures. Just a lady from the water inspiring someone to follow their dream one more time.
i think what happened to this guy was he did the sixth sense, and he just made a good movie and capped it off with that amazing twist, but then i feel like he wanted all of his stories to be deep and complex and it just began to ruin them
M night made other movies before sixth sense. The problem is everyone expected a twist when there was none. Majority of his films do not have twists
@@alucard2010 Really? Because all I know of except Last Airbender because he didn't write the story, do have a twist. Can you point me to post 6th Sense movies that don't?
What a twist!
The word "Narf" is clearly meant to strike terror into all of their enemies. M. Night Shalyaman decided to name them that after watching an episode of "Pinky and the Brain". He was originally going to name them "fart".
M night Shymalan looks kind of like Michael Jackson from the "off the wall" album cover.
+la dodgers 4 life i said the same thing . he looks like the old michael period
+la dodgers 4 life or a compressed version of David copperfield if only he could magically make his career come back to life!!
I know right? That's what I thought, too. It's the eyes.
a little bit or like the Beat It/Thriller era
@Magnus Fullauto agreed. Please make this happen.
Paul Giamatti is one of those actors who are great no matter what crap they're given...
yeah and he showed his acting skills and they were tip top.
You're Paul Giamatti!
@Justin Endicott yes I Am great.
I actually loved about Lady in the Water how everyone just trusts each other on their word. It did make it feel kinda surreal.
"There is a water nymph on my couch right now." "Oh cool. Do you need help with that?"
It actually was a refreshing way to portray a small community. And left me wondering why we can't be just a little more like that. (It's kinda the one thing I really liked about this movie.)
The music seemed to make the absurd moments feel more powerful. I also found an appreciation for its surreal feel but also can understand the inconsistencies in it as well.
You want to live in a community where everyone is gullible and naïve? You better be careful when the monorail salesman comes to town.
@@spankynater4242 You see it that way but I see it as they are incredibly close and each one of them is trustworthy and trusts each other. Sounds like the first safe community in a 1st world country. This reminds me of tribes in villages in 3rd world countries years ago. Its wholesome and pure.
Really, it's better to see it as a kid, or just enjoy it as it is. But young writer me still likes this movie, even if it gets ripped on, and there's perfectly legitimate reasons to rip on this movie. But young writer me still likes it.....
Yeah, the reason we can't is, someone will smoke crack. Mark even references it in this review. Now you know.
4:40 they should have put an ADR voice over for the bug that gets squished by the broom handle, using Nicolas Cage's voice.
"Not the broom! Not the broom! Aaahh....ablaeraahh my eyes!
Narf is Fran spelled backwards. I bet that M. Night had someone really important in his life name Fran...and then Fran heard about it and scrunted in her pants.
Your speech towards the end of the video, about pleasing only those who enjoy your work, is so wonderful. :D
The moral of the story, buy a cover for your pool. That way there won't be any crackheads in the pool lol
Seriously? M. Night Shyamalan plays a fucking writer in his own movie? And a critic is killed??? SERIOUSLY????? Sounds like a 9 year old child behaviour to me...
Just like mel gibson starring in his own movies or kevin costner. Obviously you have not seen this movie. the critic mentions several things that are not true and why should we listen to them??
It really is much more terrible than that. The Lady's name is "Story", and the people in the complex need to save her. Very subtle.
And in the movie, M Night's writing will not only inspire or entertain people, no, they will change the world. The guy must think he's Voltaire and not some crappy director.
I think M. Night Shamylan's character in this is a misdirect too. The "writer" is Paul Giamatti's character although he is also the "healer" and his writings are his diary. He is the one that has to be "awoken" because he has shut himself off from the world due to his inability to face his grief. As Story is getting ready to leave he tells her he is glad she read his diary and thanks her for saving his life. This isn't my favorite Shyamalan film but I think it gets far too much hate. It is incredibly unique, Paul Giamatti's performance is fantastic, it's beautifully shot and the score is gorgeous.
Totally agree
"I'm sorry, but strange women handing out therapy in some unnamed body of water is no basis for a good movie. A plot should be derived from intelligence not some farcical aquatic ceremony. Why, if I went around saying I'd become healed because of some watery tart they'd put me away!" Just kidding, hope you get the reference.
I love the idea that Shyamalan can just walk out of his house and see evil monkies in trees. So glad I'm not the only one.
Next Shyamahooziwatsit film:
A man is in a labyrinth with a satyr.
The twist? The man can see dead Bruce Willis's, and the satyr's weakness is water from trees that kill people who give off bad vibes.
"Pan's Sixth Labyrinthappenigns"
Coming this Nevervember.
You know, it looks like it could be a good story. Shymalan has a good eye and understands pacing and generating interest but he, I think, makes the mistake of thinking all of his ideas are gold. A little self-doubt could serve this man well. Maybe he should try directing alone. Leave the writing to someone who doesn't have an ego with its own zipcode.
Was this comment made before or after the movie After Earth? Didn't he direct that and Will Smith write it? I'm not mocking you I just want to know your updated thoughts since making this comment. I just don't like his stuff love will smith but M. Night is. .well like a pretentious uncle, he's there and if possible I avoid him, don't hate him but I'd much rather watch paint dry.
@@lunargames5246 I would blame After Earth being dumb more on Will Smith's writing. Can you really name anything wrong in particular with how it was directed? I'm genuinely asking, I've only seen reviews of it.
''When was the last time you watched a movie and had no opinion at all?''
Hercules. With the Rock. I seriously don't give a shit about that movie yet don't mind it either. I could totally play a game of chess with it in the background and it wouldn't bother me.
The only redeeming aspect of that movie was the old guy who kept wanting to die to fulfill his prophecy. Got some good laughs outta me
No joke. In British slang a scrunt is know-it-all older person. Senior citizen mixed with the word c*nt. It’s been around for a while.
We all know the eagle takes her to Mordor.
LOL
MrsRxmero in the novel it takes her to it's rape nest.
Fly you fool
...its _Mordor_ she sez.
Idk why, but Paul's face when he was squishing the bug made me think of the Nostalgia Critics crazy face in his review of "the Shining" mini-series.
The hair flip out of the water followed by "I'm a fairy from a faraway land". I love her!
Im years from starting film school & I knew forever that when I become a filmmaker, there will be those that like my work & those who don't.
You're channel belongs to the youtubechannel-gods, you're not making like 10 videos/day with bad quality, you're making 2 videos every month, but with great quality.
Got that right
Proud to be a Patreon supporter. Mark’s videos are always funny and entertaining
the score of this movie was absolutely amazing.....james newton howard did an amazing job
That pool skit was hilarious!!
The only movie I ever walked out on. Ever.
I saw this film the year it came out (2006) on a seven-hour flight to London. I remember being confused as hell and thinking it was a terrible movie. It was the first Shyamalan film I had seen since Sixth Sense....
Geoffrey Zoref The Last Airbender.
Confused? but his children can comprehend it? enough said
Magic milkman I'm sure the version he told his children was a lot more simplified and short. Completely different than a full length movie made for an older audience. Didn't help that the movie was marketed as a horror film so I'd imagine that would throw off and confuse anyone.
why did you ever walk in?
I like how, around your pool, there's a diving board right in front of the sign that says "No Diving."
That Jonny Depp interview is part of a mockumentary made on Shyamalan many years ago. It's not true.
5:41 When you superimposed Pinky's face on Story's head, I lost it. LMAO!!!!!
I saw this in theaters when I was 12. I knew I was bored. I didn't know it then, but I know now.
better not watch other slow movies like 2001,house of devil. you would be bored out of your mind
Your videos crack me up, I have no idea how you don't have more subs. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
M. Night Shyamalan Disliked this video
Now he's making a movie of it.
I just found your channel and I'm loving it! Thanks for all the laughs!
If you can find it, I'd love to see a review on The Great Skycopter Rescue. It's an amazingly awful so-bad-its-good 1978 film about kids in skycopters (the next big thing, the producers thought, like Fast and Furious car racing) protecting their town against a gang.
Thanks Brad, I'll add that to my list
+Brad Hansen What the hell is a skycopter?
best review yet! your awesome keep up the good work! (and review the golden compass. fuck that movie)
Thanks Devin
***** :D
***** Something I've noticed, are you trying to be like Nostalgia Critic? (maybe you are inspired by him)
JenkTank64
No, I always tried to do my own thing
I really like your videos nonetheless! Btw, plz review The Legend of Hercules, that's another horrible movie that came out this year besides I, Frankenstein.
This video is so old "dumpster fire" was a fresh analogy when he heard it.
"Are you still there? Haven't clicked on the side bar, yet...? OK..."
LOL
Awesome review, and such a smart editorial about M night
I like Giamatti in anything he's in, too, but to have to sit through this movie to watch his performance... To quote Chinatown: "It's not worth it, Mr. Gittes. It's really not worth it."
Too bad nobody told Paul Giamatti that when he cameoed as The Rhino at the end of TAS2...still a great actor, but that was probably the worst Spider-Man movie that could've ever existed.
The early 2000s were a booming time in the large eagle/deus ex machina business.
"I'm a fairy from a far away land" 😂😂😂
The two people floating on the pool at the end, I thought that was a reference to Neil Breen lol
Lady in the Water was the first Shyamalan film I didn't go to see. I thought the Village was ok but I just couldn't be bothered with LITW and haven't seen a film of his since. Shame because he showed great promise early on, unfortunately the success of Sixth Sense made him think he was invincible.
Review The Last Airbender, one of the biggest disappointments in cinema history
He already has. He should re-review it though, but as a fan of the series, point of view.
It blocked my chakras.
I remember watching clips of middle school fans of the original anime talking about how much Airbender stunk.
The fact that the live-action adaptation of 'The Last Airbender' tanked is a damn tragedy. It had SO MUCH potential.
Whoa, this might be your best review. Very profound and contextually aware. Great job, Mark
I actually kind of preferred the living room set up you had back on your slightly older videos and not this new green screen thing...dunno why.
where was Shyamalan that looking around he saw an eagle, dogs and monkeys?😂
Haven't you seen Split, the zoo.
Watching this before school.makes my day better
Great review, and thanks for the JD link, hadn't seen that before. My man crush increased 10 fold after watching that interview.
laughed every time you said "narf".
the first time you said "narf' and put Pinkys face over the lady i literally laughed out loud. then the rest of the video i kept thinking back to it and it never got less funny, it pretty much made my night.
To be honest
You by yourself is way better than before when it was you and your friends!
Thanks Chris, appreciate the comment!
***** Hey Mark, may I ask why you stop doing videos with your friends?
Sean Johnson He made a video on it. He said that his friends live far away and it became a nuisance, also he said that they all had jobs and familys so they couldnt do it anymore
chris bruzon Ok, Thanks.
When Paul slips while running and lands on his back, I felt that.
I remember trying to watch this movie I kind of got bored with it and kind of quit watching it
FYI - That Johnny Depp bit was part of a mockumentary on the SciFi channel promoting Shyambalamba's movie.
Did Depp ever had a conversation with Tommy Wiseau?
Or Neil Breen?
Little did you know that in six short years “dumpster fire” would become one of the most overused phrases on the Internet
Because it applies to today's movies today and has become ubiquitous with what comes out from Hollywood.
It's weird but I actually liked the movie. Probably because of Giamatti, and because it was so extremely ridiculous, that it becomes entertaining.
Never feel guilty if you genuinely found a movie or TV show to be entertaining. Because while we all have opinions on the matter, it is fundamentally more important that the corresponding entertainment product that you consumed turned out to actually do its job.
Probably why I like it.
"Crackheads in the pool again!" LOL!! That's my new catchphrase! =)
I just can't fathom how people could absolutely hate this show. I mean, generally disliking the method of presentation or just being indifferent towards the idea of it all, that's fine, it's not for everybody and that's okay, but to actually write nothing but bitterness and contempt for FanboyFlicks? Really? Wow, people. Mark presents himself and these reviews in such a way that is so mellow, easy-going, and non-confrontational that even when I find myself disagreeing with him, I don't even think anything contrary, I just go with the flow and keep watching because I'm being entertained. Maybe it's the Canadian in me...
Basically, I watch this to hear _his_ interpretation on these bad movies, not use it as a vehicle to voice mine.
So good on you, Mark. I like that you don't change the show's format and shape it due to what endlessly critical people are saying. Instead you conform it to what the people who like it are saying.
With that being said, please, everybody like me, I must be liked! My life needs to be validated by you all acknowledging my existence and having a favorable impression of my entirety!
(I mean on an emotional level, not by cheaply thumbing up this comment!)
It's got a great like/dislike ratio and I haven't seen any negative comments. Maybe ur referring to the general online consensus of the channel? But I agree, I like this dude's content alot. He and Chris Stuckmann have some great movie review content, especially for bad movies lol
Yeah it happens. I understand why people won't like somebody or what they do, not everything is for everyone. But some people do have unnecessary hatred for people who really haven't done anything to warrant it.
You are valid.
Who hates this channel? That seems like such a random thing to hate.
Dude you are funny as hell. And more so you're informed and outspoken.
Please dont stop doing this.
Well you said it so now you HAVE to do the village Lol :)
74,500 subscribers! Congrats :)
Another great video. Especially at the end, when fanboy realized the crackheads are dead. Not running away, but briskly walking away. Because safety first. Also that shirt is kick ass. I Bill Murray Bill Murray. NOICE!
hahaha I was hoping someone would get the joke!
Only movie I actually walked out of
..When a kid was reading a cereal box to figure out what the plan was
Even though his last half dozen or so movies have sucked, I still think M. Night Shyamalan (however the hell you spell it) is a pretty brilliant guy. Sometimes pushing the boundaries doesn't work. Sometimes it does and you can redefine a medium. With genius comes insanity. The guy is weird. That's why he made some pretty badass movies in the past.
+Damien Cross And by some, you mean one.
That being the sixth sense, the only film he has made that everyone seems to agree worked.
The rest of his work is half debateable (films like the village, the visit, unbreakable, signs), and half universally hated (lady in the water, avatar, the Happening- so bad it's good still counts- after earth...)
Also, pushing the boundaries? Shyamalan?! You could make a very dangerous drinking game out of his tropes. When you find a Shyamalan movie that does not contain slow dialogue, a twist, at least 50 ripped-off shots so blatant he may as well give Kubrick a credit & a theme about either faith or critics of his work, you can make the argument he's branching out. But pushing boundaries?! The only thing he's been pushing since signs is luck.
Unbreakable??? Signs??? The village has now become a cult classic
All drivel. Even with the Sixth Sense you could see the twist as soon as the little bastard says he sees dead people. Nope this director is a talentless buffoon, and there is too many of them around in Hollywood now.
Indeed, once bitten twice shy eh!
The Devil is worse than The Village, haven't seen The Happening but The Devil offers us a 'proof' that demonic powers are at work by having characters flipping bread with peanut butter jelly, it lands on the jelly side twice therefore THE DEVIL MUST BE AFOOT!
It was the most retarded thing I ever, ever, saw in a movie. Perhaps even worse than 'Doctor, did I give my son cancer' from Let There Be Light.
"gee, M, tell us how you really feel?"
"i'm sorry we changed the key chains and killed so many people..."
paul Giomatti is my old friends dad. He was really nice
That's really cool! I really liked him in Sideways
Thank you Mark for all the awesome videos. I wish your buddies will come back and do a special review together soon. Cheers!
Later, when he is at a million, I can say I subscribed to him before it was cool.
This was awesome, definitely one of your best videos Mark. Keep up the good work!
Hey great review man! Can you review the Village next?
Wanted to see this the year it came out, but I was only 8 and we saw like Shrek or something instead. I was really sad, but now I'm pretty happy
Do the village. Btw just found this channel and can't stop watching. Great stuff.
Fresno4runner me too
Shyamalan's directing-career (floating facedown) in the water.
Mark, you're the best.
Thanks!
Lady in the Water was a kaleidoscope of delirium
Legend says M. Night Shamalamadingdong stole the movie from Neil Breen.
I Love your show ! Never stop doing this. I have subscribed last night and by now i had a great morning over the twilight saga "how bad is" series and i was laughing out loud by myself . so good. Thank You.
Great review!!! The Village please!
if you ask me, the behind the scenes stories of this movie would make a more interesting movie than the one M Night actually made.
