The episode's live, dammit! Are we pro-Unbreakable or meh-Unbreakable, Garys?

Comments

Nandi Wagner

Definitely Pro-Unbreakable! I think it’s one of MNS’s best. Definitely better than The Village 😆

Liesl

I'm very meh on this film and have largely been unimpressed by Shyamalan outside of The Sixth Sense; he has great ideas, but the execution doesn't always work. However, I only watched it when it was initially released in theaters and wonder if my opinion would change if I rewatched with adjusted expectations.

I’ve always been fascinated by Julia Roberts crediting/thanking Richard LaGravenese and Susannah Grant (in that order) for the script in her Oscar speech, which must have been nice for Susannah Grant to hear at that ceremony… Obviously Grant has sole credit, so I assume LaGravenese either contributed rewrites or earlier drafts, but if anyone knows the background on his contribution to Erin Brockovich, I’d be interested…

"I did 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' in Jodie Comer's BIKERIDERS voice." (a) That's outstanding. (2) Jodie Comer in THE BIKERIDERS is pretty damn good herself.

I'm only at the start of this episode, but look, GLASS was brought up (natch) and...they were, on a certain level, rather foolish to call that movie GLASS because it SO invites the people inclined to bust out a DIE HARD quote (hi!) to go, "GLASS? Who gives a shit about GLASS?" - especially after not that many people gave a shit about GLASS!

Chris is a Lady in the Water defender? That's it, now I'm on Finn Wolfhard's side.

“I finally understand the ending of The Sixth Sense! Those were the names of the people who worked on the movie!” pro Unbreakable here, Split skeptical

Not me doing thr Chris Feil Jodie Comer voice to the Kimmy Schmidt theme song. "Its a MEERACUL"

Unbreakable is great, but I do think Billy Elliot is a really subtle screenplay that deserved recognition. It has no villains or hero’s. His father and brother are flawed with their own concerns, but do love Billy. Julie Walter’s is not above snobbery. It deftly weaves the politics of class and the miners strike into the story without banging you over the head with it. It’s also subtle in terms of burgeoning sexuality and gender identity, it leaves things open to interpretation.

George Wishart

The post script is what kneecapped the ending with many people IMO. You have this cool reveal and ending with David Dunn walking out as Elijah is yelling out to him would’ve been so much better.

Michelle Brosius

I keep confusing this movie with Unbroken, which is another movie THOB should cover! And the book is amazing.

Sam Hetherington

Every time you mentioned The Village, I kept saying to myself “The Village? It sounds crazy… and indeed it was”

So, UNBREAKABLE: To me, quite a good movie that I have reservations about that make me seem "mixed" on it...but I don't feel "mixed" on it, I'm much more positive than not. It's beautifully made, Samuel L. Jackson's excellent, it really draws you in...but its self-seriousness and ponderousness fall on the side of "𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ" for me and almost come across as the work of someone who's a bit ashamed of + needs to justify being sort-of interested in comic books. The deconstructionist quality, that's intrinsic to the thing, that IS the movie, I'm not saying I can't roll with that, it just feels somewhat strained to me - I mean, if your opening note is telling the audience, "See, comic books are actually very popular," you, um...don't really need that opening note then, do you? Anyway, it's been several years since I've seen the film, I might feel differently if I watch it again today. What I REALLY don't see changing is that I love the ending - "twist" is a funny word for it, too, because...sure, I suppose it is, but what we're really seeing there is inevitability, marvelous inevitability as the tale finally moves where we knew (whether you knew you knew it or not) it had to go. I was down for a sequel, but then word of mouth on GLASS was just not making me eager to see the one that eventually came about.
