what, prey tell, are the qualities of Lady in the Water? Awfully nice cinematography and at least one or two minorly fun supporting roles (that Freddy Rodriguez will be a star someday I tells ya).
I haven't seen The Happening, but I really can't imagine it being significantly worse, or even more of a self-indulgent wank (even if you remove the critic parts there's still lots of embarrassing shit in that film) then Lady in the Water was.
