Film:  Signs

Was this supposed to be a return to form for Shyamalan?  I thought it was pretty weak.  In some ways I prefer "The Happening" for the sheer ridiculousness.  If you view The Happening as a goofy B-movie that 25 years from now will play in hipster bars, it actually comes across pretty well.  In some ways, Signs is the same, but without the insanity.  I did like Joaquin Phoenix in it, though.  And there was one terrific little scene in the car when Joaquin explains to the little girl about how and why nerds are making the crop circles.  One of the better anti-nerd tirades I've heard (and I believe we've reasonably gotten to the point when anti-nerd tirades are needed).
