Did you really just spoil the end of the ****ing movie in the ****ing title of the ****ing thread?

[Andrew NDB]

I... don't think so. I haven't seen "Split" but I don't think there is any direct connections to "Unbreakable" in the film, nor does the article imply there are. Just that it's in the same universe.

[saintsaucey]

Which I didn't know at all.

[Andrew NDB]

Doesn't appear to be any more noteworthy than, say, "Soldier" being in the "Blade Runner" universe.

* edit: Oh. Well it does sound like there's a pretty telling cameo at the end of "Split."

[Utrommaniac]

It's Shaymalan, his plot twists are given away in the middle of the movies. No surprise that a midquel would be revealed this way.

[Andrew NDB]

He sorely needs a hit, though. You think he'd be more up front about it being something to do with Unbreakable.

[The Deadman]

The Visit made nearly 100 million on a budget of 5 so if that's not a success, I dont know what is.

Also GG on spoiling the movie, lol.

[AT-Man]

If this is a spoiler, then f*ck you, Andrew.

[saintsaucey]

If this is a spoiler, then f*ck you, Andrew.

I know right

[Andrew NDB]

I know right

Hey, I had no idea that was like, The Big Twist™ in it. Again, haven't seen the movie (though now knowing this, I intend to), just saw that article and figured Shymalyan announced it as an "oh, by the way" thing.

[THGhost]

Sure, why not? I like Unbreakable. Haven't seen Split yet.

[Andrew NDB]

Watched "Split." Awesome. Very awesome.

[NinjaPug]

Just watched Split. Unfortunately I knew something about the ending involved Willis/Unbreakable (my fault for waiting so long to see it). It didn't matter though. I got so damn excited as soon as I heard James Newton Howard's score and saw the raincoat hanging up. I watched the final scene on repeat for about 10 minutes immediately after.

I've been waiting so long for an Unbreakable sequel. Bring on Glass.

[NinjaPug]

Oh man I am ridiculously excited for this movie after seeing these set pictures of Mr Glass.

[Andrew NDB]

I love that he's the titular character this time. I suspect this is going to be very good.

[ProphetofGanja]

lmao everyone was so upset about the alleged spoilers in this thread

[CyberCubed]

So we're getting a sequel 18 years later to a movie that came out back in the year 2000. Seems legit.

[Andrew NDB]

Technically speaking... we're getting a sequel to a movie that will have come out two years before it, both of which set in the same universe as a movie that came out in 2000.

[AquaParade]

It took me years of loving this movie and Doom Patrol, to realize how much this movie takes from Doom Patrol.

Bruce Willis is essentially Cliff/Robotman and Mr. Glass pulls the same stunt that Niles Caulder did at the end of Morrison's Doom Patrol.

Hell Bruce even looks like Robotman. It's definitely more than coincidence. Especially when you bring in Split's main character and his similarities to Doom Patrol's Crazy Jane.

[NinjaPug]

First footage debuted at CinemaCon. I think that this is the upcoming movie I'm most excited about seeing.

Just saw trailer for #Glass and it looks so good. The premise is having Dunn, Glass, and The Beast all locked up together in an asylum and being treated as people that are convinced they’re superheroes. #CinemaCon

What? They're all in an asylum? That doesn't make any sense. Why would Dunn be in an asylum? How did the Beast get caught? Wouldn't Glass almost be out of jail by now?

[NinjaPug]

Not sure. The reactions just said they were being treated because they all believe they are superheroes. I was worried that the movie would take place entirely in the asylum but the footage shows them breaking out.

[Andrew NDB]

Very baffling. Of the three of them the only one who "believes he's a superhero" is Glass himself, and it's actually a "supervillain."

[NinjaPug]

Yeah that part didn't make sense to me either. I'm hoping something was lost in translation from what they saw to how they're describing it.

[NinjaPug]

Trailer coming at SDCC on 7/20

Poster unveiled:

So the earlier bits are true... they're all locked up in an asylum together. Weird. That literally only makes sense for one of them.

Having never before bothered to watch a M. Night Shyamalan movie, I think this will be my first one. Looks interesting!

Unbreakable is a slow burn, but quite good.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Unbreakable is a slow burn, but quite good.

The problem is I know the stories, I know his twist endings. I don't really feel a pressing need to watch The Sixth Sense when I already know that the kid sees dead people.

Still... Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson? Maybe I should see Unbreakable.

[plastroncafe]

Eh, I knew the ending of Psycho, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the movie. Sometimes it's about the journey, and not ONLY the destination.

[TigerClaw]

Here's the new Trailer.

Yikes! Apparently critics hate it:

[Allio]

yeah, according to the spoilers it's kind of a drag ending.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

That surprises me, to be honest. Still wanna see it, though.

[Andrew NDB]

I'll still definitely see it but... yeesh. Totally less excited to now.

Maybe that's good, though. Expectations will be tempered.

Better to enjoy something more than you thought you would, than less than you thought you would!

Reviews of "Glass" made Shyamalan cry.

[Leo656]

So... he got to share the experience that people get from watching most of his movies? :trazz:

Also, my computer will not allow me to go to that site you keep linking to. Curious.

:tlol: He cried, huh? I feel bad for him.

I did end up seeing this in theaters. It was... almost not good enough to make me wish I hadn't seen it. There wasn't enough of the asylum stuff; I was kinda hoping to experience an Arkham Asylum movie with different characters, but M Night just really, really had to keep slapping the audience in the face with "THIS IS LIKE IN COMICS WHERE THE BAD GUYS TEAM UP / MONOLOGUE / BETRAY EACH OTHER / GET A SANDWICH / EVIL PLAN."

Pretty tiresome. So meta it hurt. Really, really hated that aspect.

Also, definitely nowhere near enough Samuel L Jackson and I thought it was really creepy how Anna whatever her name is kinda sorta had the hots for McAvoy.

I agree with you, but I appreciate that it seemed to be 100% a movie without any studio interference whatsoever. And it wasn't bad, to me. Disappointing, I guess, but I came out of it seeing everything I hoped for... it's just that there was also some extra (and dumb) stuff at the end.

No studio interference is definitely a big plus. It just made me wish even harder for a good "Arkham Asylum" movie. Batman thrown into Arkham, being interrogated and treated by Hugo Strange, while Joker, Clayface, et al taunt him.

It'd make a helluva movie.

I'd watch that.

I'd also like to see a Knightfall-esque movie. Not in that Batman gets his back broken or with Bane or anything, but like, the entirety of the inmates at Arkham Asylum get broken out one day... and Batman just has to run this hellish gauntlet for 2-3 days tracking them all down all over Gotham and recapturing them, getting more and more tired as he's run super ragged and truly tested. Riddler screwing with him the whole way, Scarecrow there to throw illusionary crap at him after he's been up for 3 days, etc..

Same. There's a rich world of awesome Batman stories that could be adapted, and nobody's even scratched the surface.

Forget a DC Cinematic Universe; just give me a Gotham City Cinematic Universe.

[Leo656]

None of that stuff would ever get a budget. Not enough room for f*cking Jokes.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

They could give us five minutes of Robin and Batgirl taking down the Ten-Eyed Man and Maxie Zeus. That'd be pretty comedic.

But yeah, DC does seem to be steering the ship pretty hard for "no dark, all jokes!"

[AquaParade]

So the consensus is that Glass is nowhere near as good as Unbreakable? I love Unbreakable to death and was pretty bummed to hear all the negative reception to Glass.

[Leo656]

Same. I love Unbreakable but haven't seen Split or Glass yet. Knowing that it all ends with a big "Meh" kinda made it something I can wait a bit for.

[Andrew NDB]

The consensus is that Glass is nowhere even as good as Split.

I still enjoyed it, though... but I can see about a million faults with it.

[ProactiveMan]

Maybe they should have interfered. They probably didn't because they only gave him five bucks to make it, so what's the worst that could happen.

[Andrew NDB]

Ehhh...... I dunno, man. Would that have made for a better movie? Probably. But these have always been his movies for better or worse, and he funds them all himself, apparently.

Nothing would be sadder than an even critically successful "Glass" that has Shyamalan telling everybody that "they changed my whole vision! This is not what I intended!" It would be different if it was a larger, commercial Hollywood thing.

It's been decided that Split is too problematic for Netflix:

Dang, maybe I better buy this thing digitally when it goes on sale.
Is there any movement to ban Two-Face from future Batman projects?

[superstaff]

I have a dream that one day people will stop allowing censorship, and take a stand to keep media around even if it's 'problematic'.

It's a dream, of course, and it'll never happen, sadly.

[MikeandRaph87]

I have learned from experience that Wegotthiscovered is a fake news site. It has gotten me before. The petition in question is over two years old and has only 2.9k signatures.

Isn't that what happened with the Dav Pilkey book that got banned too? It had a pitiful petition with few signatures, yet it still got banned, and Pilkey even apologized for 'racist content'?
