What's so bad about The Happening?

Every one is ragging on this movie. I haven't really heard any concrete reasons for why they think it's so crap. I suppose I could look online...but I'm lazy. In any case, I LIKED it! I saw it yesterday with my dad for Father's Day (my father LOVES movies, he saw Zohan Friday, Hulk Saturday and then Happening Sunday). I thought it was enjoyable! Really creepy, freaked me out and made me jump, and kind of cool. I love Mark Wahlberg and he did a great job, as usual. Zooey Deschanel is not the best actress and she seems to always play her roles as a space cadet, but she's so damned cute I can let it slide. I also like The Village and Lady in the Water which had tons of negative reviews, so that can give some perspective on my opinion.

Otherwise, I almost got into a fight at the theatre! Some total douchebag was using those LAME pen/lazer light thingies throughout the trailers. So I finally got up and turned around to see if I could find out where it was coming from. Turns out it was a dude RIGHT behind me! So I asked him if he was going to be doing that the whole time. He was all quite, only talking back to me BARELY. First he was all "I don't know what you're talking about." So I said "Open your hand and I'll show you what I'm talking about." Then he said something about me being nice or something and I said something about him not being nice with that thing. I just kept asking if he was going to keep doing that, which he wouldn't answer and I told him that now that I know who was doing it, I would have the theatre "cops" come and take him out. He had like 4 friends with him, all of which didn't say a word. Hilarious. Fucking tough guy causes a disturbance that he can do anonymously (unless someone is FACING him and sees the light in his hand) and then doesn't even have the balls to talk back to a lone girl who's giving him shit.

After I sat down, my dad was like "Do I have to kick his ass now?" Guy was a big pussy though. He did it twice throughout the actual movie, to which all the other people in the audience yelled at him. Next time he did it, I was prepared to get up and point him out to the whole theatre. He probably knew that and ceased. Loser.

I won't lie. When I sat back down, I had a flutter in my chest and I was shaking a little. I'm not normally one to confront people like that, but that shit really pissed me off. I kinda wonder what would have happened had he tried to fight me. I'm thinking the audience wouldn't have been to keen on a bunch of guys fighting a girl...

I bet I could've gotten at least one good punch in!

The End.
