Laughable marketing strategy. The previews have that cliché, scary movie-voice quivering:
From Director M. Night Shyamalan comes his first R-rated film.
Haha. Just reading it makes me laugh. But I suppose 6th graders will be impressed.
Rumor is the content mirrors the marketing.

<p>Laughable marketing strategy. The previews have that cliché, scary movie-voice quivering:</p>
<blockquote><p>From Director M. Night Shyamalan comes his first R-rated film.</p></blockquote>
<p>Haha. Just reading it makes me laugh. But I suppose 6th graders will be impressed.</p>
<p>Rumor is the content mirrors the marketing.</p>
<p><a href="http://autonomy.blogivists.com/2008/06/18/dont-see-the-happening/">Extremism in Defense of Liberty</a> dismisses it as</p>
<blockquote><p>nothing more than a piece of crass, anti-humanist environmentalist propaganda</p></blockquote>
<p>Moreover, I dig his analysis and response to the environmental movement in general:</p>
<blockquote><p>Environmentalists believe that nature is an <em>end in and of itself</em>, that it must be upheld and protected <em>above all else</em>. This is why some of them (the ones that are consistent, anyway) will say things like, “You’re looking at the world with a humanity bias,” which means, of course, that you are brutish and selfish for valuing human life above a tree frog or dirt. If we accept that nature is good because it is nature, and for no other reason, it <em>makes sense </em>to desire human extinction; such a desire is merely taking the saying “Leave the Smallest Footprint Possible” to heart. Man <em>survives</em> by manipulating the environment to suit his needs– there is no other way. If we accept that we should leave the smallest impact on the world as possible, why <em>not </em>just wipe ourselves out?</p></blockquote>
