The Manhatten Division must have melted away in the opening moments of the invasion.

Oh, it's even worse than that. Apparently Gibson's wife died just so he'd know to tell Commudus to pick up his damn bat and "swing away." God didn't need to do any of that crap to save the son. I mean, damn, what kind of moron needs to be told year(s) in advance to pick up a weapon and fight?

So we see, the entire movie is just a commentary on how much of a hypocritical bastard the Christian God is!

I don't htink M. Night Schmayalan is Christian. Although I'm not perfectly certain. And he might has still wanted to send the message.

The MST3K treatment can make any movie "enjoyable"

You haven't seem "Manos: the Hands of Fate", have you?

Hence the quotes (""). Even though that film was still a rancid turd, the color commentary provided a vast improvement.

Yes, but he still just kept whacking it with the bat. Luckily, the alien would always happen to fall in such a way that it'd knock one of the little girl's glasses of water onto itself.

actually no they did not know at that point, when he did realize it was hurting him, he started hitting the glasses and splattering water on the alien. The town vet (the same guy who killed Gibsons wife in the movie who was played by Shamaylan) told Gibson he heard that they didn't like water but gave no reason why.[/quote]

I thought there'd been some sort of new announcement about it? It got interupted when they decided to shift the TV.

According to imdb.com, he went to Catholic school, for the discipline, and he was raised a different religion.

I also loved the "We can travel vast interstellar distances, but we don't know how a door works."

Heh, Sam just mentioned the whole water issue on SG-1...

AHAHAHA

On tonights Stargate, Samantha ranted about the unrealities of Signs. Hahahahaha.

"They travel halfway across the galaxy in a spaceship and you know what they do with their technology? Try to take over the planet. But you know their biggest weakness? Water. I mean, why take over a planet thats surface is 2/3s water? And not to mention the rain."

Hahahahaha. I love it, its so great.

The aliens never heard again from their division assigned to invade Minnesota. They never thought, though, to wonder why...

Actually, the weather in Iowa can often be quite humid.

Like today, for example. Rained for 18 hours.
