    In the movie Signs it is revealed that the aliens who invaded earth, a planet that is 70% water, where water rains from the sky and lingers in the very air itself, are allergic to water. Something they apparently didn't consider before landing. Anyway, Iran sure does have a lot of drones, huh?

    In general I never cared much about scary movies, but there is ONE SCENE (in an otherwise crappy movie) that left a strong impression on me. In the movie "Signs", there's a moment when the news are showing footage from an alien sighting in Brazil. Usually, whenever a US movie tries to depict another country or culture, it ends up being so poorly done it's almost like a caricature. But not this one... The scene is from a birthday party, and every little detail is so authentic that, as a…

    Watched Signs for the first time since 2002 and despite Mel Gibson being in it, it really holds up. Suspenseful, funny and stylish. Definitely Night’s most Spielbergian film. Plus Merritt Weaver and Michael Showalter are in it?! Great Halloween watch 👽🎃

    Merritt Wever - knew the name, seen her in things (Michael Clayton, Marriage Story, Greenberg, Birdman, Signs); would have struggled to put a face to the name before today. But she is SO good in PRIMETIME. In a film of big performances I think it’s hers that I’ll remember the most. Phenomenal work.

    Signs. I have a very clear memory of watching that movie with my dad at my grandparents lake cabin. The scene where the little girl looked out the window and the alien was on top of the barn staring at her gave me a literal wash of cold dread.

    I've seen like 3 of his movies (6th Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs), so I think Signs by virtue of it being 2/3rds of a good movie that fails to stick the landing (but also fuck Gibson fr). But that birthday party scene in Signs is stuck in my head forever.
