    Okay everyone, shut the fuck up:

    T h e  H a p p e n i n g

    Holy fuck if you want to absolutely hate looking at Zooey Deschanel's face, watch The Happening. They keep zooming in and it's so weird! It's so fucking weird!

    And you've heard the plot is stupid and bad, and one of the big stupid things is it's a movie about the wind directed by someone who apparently has never been outside ever - like the wind comes toward them step by step blowing 90 degrees away from them and you see the blowing grass getting closer. And they run away from it...

    But like

    There is a very short series of shots where Marky Mark reacts to something a train conductor says, and I swear to God they shot 3 takes of Mark ad-libbing his reaction, and then just put all 3 takes in sequence next to each other. Just one after the other. Like these were 3 complete reactions, starting with hearing it and then reacting and then falling quiet.

    It was something like " What do you mean!!... ... ... ...What?? No!!... ... ... ... Gasp! No! That's terrible!"

    I felt like I was having a stroke, and I'm not even sure if I can trust my own brain. But I remember it.

      Hulu splashed The Happening on its home screen when I loaded it up last night. Seeing it advertised to confidently was so absurd I would have laughed out loud if I wasn't high as shit
