The Toast thing sounds like how they find auditors in the discworld books | |
I never booed this because of Shiamalan, I booed it because the premise seemed somewhat interesting, but the TITLE threw away any sense of suspense and mystery. The trailer leads you to think "gee, what strange malevolent force is tormenting these people?" then the title comes up and you thing "oh, the devil, thanks you just saved me 2 hours." | |
....... Toast? ..... Really? | |
The serpent in the beginning of the Bible isn't the devil, though, certainly not in the original Jewish mythology, or the story as it appears in the Christian Bible. Anyway, I don't see why Devil if he is evil would want to torment evil souls. Wouldn't he want to reward evil behaviour? His role in Christian mythologies is confusing, and the character seems to exist just so that all the bad stuff can be blamed on him. Anyways, this movie. I don't see how the "who did it" will work, since the killer is Devil. I mean, how it would make a difference if they knew who it was? | |
can someone explain the toast part please | |
*Face palm | |
I keep hoping for M. Night Shiamalan to make another great movie, I just don't get how one can make something so epic, and then make such a quality U-turn. | |
Seriously? Toast can show the presence of the devil? I seem to be surrounded by him everytime I drop toast/something fragile/something electrical... I actually wanted to go and see it, because the trailer sounded like it could work out, in asort of a murdermystery kind of way, but now I think I'll pass... | |
I know u said it was unfair Bob, but as soon as a I saw M nights name I knew I was giving this movie a pass. | |
The Devil is NOT in Hell. According to the Christian belief in the Book of Revelations the Devil will be thrown into the lake of fire. Satan isn't directly doing nefarious deeds like a comic book super-villain, but rather working indirectly through people by temptation to sin and go against the Word of God. He was originally the most beautiful angel of all-time, but he became proud and wanted to become greater than God himself. When that didn't happen Satan left Heaven and was accompanied by others (demons). He's the Father of Lies, Lucifer, Morning Star, the Fallen Angel. He's not the pitchfork-carrying, goatee, red-faced trope that society has created him to be. He appears throughout the Bible working through the people as I've said already. 12 years of Catholic School. *Fweet* Congratulations, here's your medal. You can also stand in a garage for 12 years, but that doesn't mean your an expert on the automotive industry. You constantly attack the Christian faith and insult the the faith of it's believers, so what astounding notion that you've conceived in your mind that saying you've had 12 years of Catholic school gives you any sound foundational argument that you can talk about the concept of the Devil? On a side note Bob, how can you say it's not M. Night's fault because he only produced it when you've condemned Michael Bay for the Friday the 13th remake, which he produced? No exceptions, Bob, M. Night has dug his own grave with terrible movie after terrible movie. The Village, Lady in the Water, The Happening, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and now Devil. If your gonna hang one producer/director and not another then your showing unprofessional behavior in your line of work. You are showing favoritism and as a movie critic you can not keep ignoring the fact that M.Night has failed to live up to any of the talent he displayed in his earlier works like The Six Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable. Film looked promising because it was going back to the suspenseful horror that made M.Night famous in the beginning. But do you know what happened? M.Night fell off his high horse, hit his head and is right now unconscious where he dreams he is a man who thinks his scripts are his blessed gifts to the ignorant world. When in reality, he fell and somehow got his head stuck up his @$$ and he's continued navel gazing with each failure he's directed and produced for the past several years. They're nothing more than the steaming piles of what they are so it's not us who should be on the chopping block, Bob, but M. Night himself. If you ever want to see M.Night make a comeback into cinema then he needs to wake up and realize his faults and pull his big head out of his @$$. If he can, great because I want to see a good M.Night movie again. Remember that brilliant twist in Sixth Sense? What about the creepy atmosphere of Signs? Where's that M.Night? The public WANTS to see M.Night succeed again, but it's not us who can make the film better, but the producer/director himself. | |
For what it's worth, me and the girl called who was the Devil in the trailer - I just went online to confirm our suspicions. Shal. had some great movies, I so badly want to like the recent ones, I am just not quite mentally handicapped enough to pull that off. TOAST? REALLY? glad i missed it. | |
Hey, movie bob has the same opinion on the devil as me. I'M NOT CRAZY OR ALONE!!! but yeah, as soon as i saw the name, and hjeard the premise, i saw this was going to suck. why couldnt scott pilgrim open on a weekend when movies like this peice of garbage come out? | |
That's just terrible punishment to people watching the movie. I hate it when director's feel they have to point out what's going on. Here the movie is named Devil and they had to point out it's about the Devil? If it's a good movie it should be complex, but people should be able to figure it out on their own. Or it should at least be easy to follow without obvious explanations. | |
....it's a goddamned trilogy....*sobs*
The explanation is that when the Devil is around weird stuff starts happening. Kids will hit their heads on tables, I guess toast falls jelly side down.....I don't know. This movie blew huge nutsack. The only thing refreshing about it was that the Black Guy almost made it the end | |
Oh the Comic Foils that will ensue XD | |
Yeah! He should have used a pudding cup! | |
I thought the Old Testament still portrayed him as a vicious bastard? | |
Now i wanna see it JUST for the toast-scene... | |
*Twitch* A... Pudding... cup? ... THAT'S THE BESTEST IDEA EVAR! :D | |
aaaahahahahahahaha. It landed butter side up? IT'S THE DEVIL'S WORK! wonderful bob. | |
He threw a toast to the ground? It's food dude! | |
I NOZ, RITE?!?!?!!?!?!?!?! :D OT: I wonder what if that instead of fighting Satan, this was about Humanity's Dark Side? Taking a look at the secrets, true feelings & faces of the people around us by putting several people in an elevator? | |
Knew this movie would be shit after the 40 times I saw the trailer on 4OD. Seriously, their repeated ads can go fuck themselves... sideways. | |
Note that I said: Keep track of when (in the original language) the god in question was referred to as "Yahweh" (his name) and when the word "Elohim" (which is the plural for "gods") was used instead. The version of "Yahweh" being worshipped in the modern Abrahamic faiths is actually a conflation of two different Elohim (Yahweh and Hadad), who got confused together when the churches switched over from monolatrism to monotheism ("hey, since there's only one God, the passages referring to these two 'gods' must be talking about the same guy!"). Judaism and Christianity were both monolatric until several centuries after the death of Jesus (by an odd coincidence, the point when they drifted over is the point when so many churches started preaching this "Dispensationalism" bullshit as a method of reconciling the massive contradictions that a monotheistic reading presents). | |
Funny how I wanted you to review this movie and yet I don't agree with you FULLY. What I mean is I liked it. It's a cheesy Horror Film with weak plot... yes. I guessed every detail from just the trailer... yes. Was it fun to watch still and funny in parts (like the toast) scene... Hell yes XD I was just glad the people I hated died and the people I liked lived. | |
Thank you Titankore, that post has made my day. OT: Really? Frickin' toast is the one true method of seeing if the Father of All Lie's is in the same building as you are? I always pictured the Devil as a being who doesn't straight out attack people, but instead a trickster. As for M. Night? As other's said when "The Last Airbender" came out that it was the final nail in his coffin of his career and so far it's looking right. | |
I'll see this film "just because". Hey! I saw last airbender (even though Bob said not to) and I still enjoyed it; I just thought it was too short. Look at the Expendables... It was a "dumb jock" film, BUT HEY it was advertised as a "dumb jock" film; Even Rodger Ebert said it was a "dumb jock" film! ***ALSO*** Bob admits that he doesn't grasp the concept of the devil?! Com'on; He has the word EVIL in his name!!! Name me someone worse than that! | |
Yes,yes it was,also stll gonna see Devil =P | |
BWAHAHAHA OH god run from the Super Devil XD | |
Only Devil i liked was Robot Devil. And that is because he played fiddles | |
What the hell does toast landing butter side down have to do with identifying satan? Also when did elevators get toast making facilities? | |
"Since I'm always hungry, I keep toast in my pocket!" Hmmm... So the Devil is like Starscream? Who's Megatron? | |
You really need to change those emote smilies you use Bob, they look stupid and you over use them in each video. | |
Great now I have to see the movie for the toast part. | |
