Signs Sucked
Full Screen Kill Me Bookmark Me



Dear Lord, they're mowing our lawn!


I'm tired of all the morons around me raving about how great Signs was. To prove once and for all how much of a shitty movie it was (and it was), I will make a T chart of things that the aliens were good at, and were bad at.

Good:Bad:
Space Travel
Radio Cloaking
Shield Stuff
Radar Cloaking
Sneaking Around
Landscaping
Operating Doors
Baby Monitor Cloaking
Avoiding Water
Killing Little Kids
Baseball
Avoiding Dogs

Now, let's examine these points. First, their skills. The aliens were fairly good at traveling millions upon millions of miles in a fucking space craft to Earth to take it over for harvesting or some other such nefarious purpose. They were good enough at radar work to hide their transmissions from the multiple militaries of the world. They were good enough with matter to create a giant shield of some sort that repelled missiles and whatnot. The space craft that they flew were impossible to detect on radar. They were damn good at sneaking around at night and jumping on top of barns. And lastly, they were pretty good at landscaping corn (though why they did this was pretty unexplained - do they have corn on their home planet? Anyway).

And now, the things they weren't so skilled at. At various points in the movie, these super aliens could not puzzle out the intricate process of opening a door, which we Earthlings like to call "grab and twist" (much like the debilitating fighting move, except not to the testicles) or sometimes just "push". They also, with all of their radio cloaking technology and know-how, could not make themselves completely untraceable. While the militaries were trying to track the aliens with all of their fancy tracking gear or whatever (and failing miserably), all they really needed was a giant baby monitor. Doh, talk about an Achilles Heel. Don't millions of people have baby monitors? It seems like more people than just Mel Gibson's ugly little shithead kid would figure it out. "Hmm, that doesn't sound like little baby Nesferatu." During the movie, the aliens were very avoidant of water, and it turned out that it was because of a fatal reaction to water. Wow, who would have guessed it! That the aliens would come to Earth, a world composed over 80% of water, when water kills them. That's tricky. Also, it appeared in the movie that aliens suck at killing unconscience little kids. Now, I know a lot of you dumbasses who didn't get the point of the movie (yes, there was a point, though it sucked ass) will say "he was just holding the kid hostage while he was trying to get away" or some other such nonsense. I'm here to tell you that that's bullshit. The point of that wrist spray stuff that he shot on the kid was to kill him. Did he ever think of just throwing the kid on the ground and stomping on him? That's what I would have done, and I'm no space travellin' alien genius. Much to that alien's detriment, apparently he never had much of an aquaintence with baseball. This is evident by the fact that he didn't just grab the baseball bat or do a jumping kick in that one fag's head when he swung at him. Batter up. Lastly, these aliens couldn't even avoid a German Shepard's nose tracking them down. And this wasn't some sort of talented German Shepard badass killer robot dog. This was a German Shepard that was killed by a ten year old weakling with a FORK. Yes, a fork, kiddies. Never thought of that as a weapon for fighting off vicious attack dogs, did you?

I think that pretty much sums this movie up. M. Night Shyamalan or whatever the shit his name is, is a horrible director, and a hack. This movie blows goats, don't see it.
