This movie got a lot of grief, but I liked it. It was simultaneously a let down and scary to see the alien. As far as aliens go, it’s a pretty boring generic biped. But the suspense and buildup to seeing it, and the way they presented the scene as the viewer seeing it recorded alongside terrified people was great. Nailed it.
Maybe the worst aspect of the movie was the beyond-the-grave prompts regarding water and baseball bats. Meh. But the rest was pretty good.
I’d take that over my generation’s childhood trauma any day:
Good news bad news, I loved that movie as a kid and have zero recollection of that scene. I’m guessing I didn’t get the implication. “Oh he lost his horse”.
Yeah this was way more traumatizing than anything Signs had.
You’re gonna have to fill me in here. I don’t know this reference.
The Neverending Story. That’s the scene where Artax the horse gives up and let’s the bog of depression drown him
The horse the audience has grown attached to becomes depressed, and allows himself to sink slowly beneath the mud. The boy understands what is happening and that the depression is going to kill his friend. He pleads and panics as the horse very graphically sinks out of sight with an incredibly disturbing practical effect that must have been real life animal cruelty. Then the boy is left alone in the swap. It’s a fucking brutal scene that symbolizes suicide.

I accept that your intent was not to offend (despite that, no offense, this reads like someone trying to get popped in the nose), but what your intent actually was escapes me.
No offence, but accusations like that add exactly nothing to the conversation if they’re correct, and are a fucking shitty thing to do to a person if they’re not. Unless you’ve got really solid receipts, and there’s some important outcome that it would actually affect if true, just don’t fucking do it.
To be fair, I assumed they cpy and pasted from an AI
But is that actually fair?
Oh, so this is your awkward way of asking? Then, no, it was not written by an LLM. This is what that would have looked like:
This thread got stupid fast.
yeah that’s cause we’re all autistic
A scene from The Never Ending Story. They travel through the Swamp of Sadness.
Never ending story the horse is with the kid through thick and thin then gets stuck in a swamp and kid has to leave him behind.
Small clarification, he gets stuck in the swamp of despair basically. He only gets stuck and dies because he loses hope. Atreyu tries to cheer him up and give him hope, and it’s that scene that’s depressing AF. It’s like something out of old yeller.

The Never Ending Story (1984)
What a young movie!
I know this one but not the one from the post. Is it slender man is something?
I think the OP is from the movie Signs?
What scene is that?
It’s from Signs. It’s the first time you see the aliens, from a shakycam newscast. Scared the hell out of little me.
I heard Gen Z was soft but wow. We were watching dismemberment, head explosions, main characters die in torment; I saw Peter Weller turned into Swiss cheese and marinara, I saw Toxie fuck his girlfriend in an alley with his ear melting off, I saw mother Vorhees pulp campers, all before I was thirteen.
Gen Z wasnt alive when this movie came out
I too saw terrible things online, doesn’t change the fact this scared kids. Congrats on your trauma tho
Tbf films can be viewed anytime after their release
Many of us had actual trauma from being raised by boomers. We watched shit like this just to feel normal.
I’m Gen X but psychological horror always scared me more than gore. This scene got me good back in the day, and 99% of the whole movie was just building atmosphere. Anyone can show you a scene of someone’s skin getting peeled off to make you uncomfortable, but it takes an artist to genuinely scare you with a cheesy shaky-cam alien.
Was I the only one pissed off that the Brazilian kids suddenly speak English in that scene? “It’s behind!”
Could’ve easily been a screenshot of the last air bender
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.
What’s þe scene from?
Since no one else answered
“Signs” (2002) by M. Night Shyamalan
Bizarre that you are downvoted for a perfectly normal (and considering the lack of the name of the movie anywhere) expected question.
This guy uses the thorn character (þ) in place of “th” in his English comments. It’s basically the same sound, just a different way to type it.
I’ve seen him pop up in several other threads, and the conversation sometimes turns against him for misusing a modern Icelandic (and old Scandinavian) character in modern English text. He sometimes gets downvoted for it.
EDIT: I just glanced at his profile and he gets downvoted a lot. Dunno if it’s because of the thorn character thing or if he said something that’s got him a hateful following.
It’s mostly the thorn. People are fucking weirdly angry every time they use one.
It is the thorn. They aren’t the only one who does it, though I see this person the most, here. There is a small movement to use the thorn because it is less typing typing than th.
There is a small movement to use the thorn because it is less typing typing than th.
Certainly not on QWERTY
I’m guessing that character is a native button on their keyboard? Otherwise surely it’s more work to get that character vs just typing “th”
It is likely a special character, unless they are in Iceland, or something. However, you can just map it to a key. Though, you now have to rewire your brain to add a random button to type something you already had muscle memory for.
He sometimes gets downvoted for it.
Rightfully so.
He gets downvoted for using þ instead of th
Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s because they are swapping “th” for “þ” and it gives some… different energy. LLMs don’t work like this person seems to believe they do. A simple character swap isn’t going to do anything to slow an LLM down. It will just swap the character back. However, it’s not even going to bother with “What’s þe scene from?” because it’s not a comment worth scraping. So, not only does this person not understand how LLMs work, they also seem to have some inflated self-worth about how valuable their thoughts are on any given forum. They aren’t being downvoted for the question, just the way they asked it.
Wow you all are expending way too much mental energy on all of this. Let people be weird. The thorns aren’t pricking you.
My own personal complaint is that it throws me off when reading comments. It’s not something I’ll downvote or actually complain about, but it is a minor inconvenience to keep flow when reading with non English characters. More power to them.

I’ll be honest, 99% i don’t even notice the thorn until someone starts tantruming over it

So?
I þink you have inspired me to do þis from now on. þank you!

The llm thing is a cover story. It’s 100% just for attention. And it works.
Signs.
That was the dumbest movie. Their weakness is water? If you get in a fight with them, you can win by peeing on them. Children with super soakers could take them out. Hell, even an army of excitable Chihuahuas could. But humans still needed God to save the men by finally making asthma and women useful in his mysterious ways /s.
This was the dumbest movie? Out of everything the Shamalayan made? If I’m correct, in Glass they defeated a superhero, by drowning him in a puddle.
They put those warnings on 5 gallon buckets for a reason! A few inches is enough to drown in, they keep saying. I’ve only seen Sixth Sense and TLA otherwise.
If I thought every movie with a plot hole was the “dumbest” that word couldn’t possibly still hold any meaning
Ah, since you haven’t heard of it before, let me introduce you to the concept of hyperbole and how humans communicate. Sometimes they exaggerate things. It happens so often that there’s a word for it.
But this is not an exaggeration. I’ve seen Son of the Mask and would rather rewatch that than Signs. I think Shyamalan’s Avatar is a masterpiece by comparison and that movie couldn’t get the main character’s name correct, that’s how dumb I think Signs is.

I don’t feel the need to say
Lol. I guess you shouldn’t engage any more than you think I should then. Anyway, I’m just some stranger, don’t let me bother you over something so trivial. Go enjoy your day.
Really wasn’t that big of a deal. Sometimes when you hate on things many people like, you get some pushback. That’s all.

Am I missing some sort of meme with the character on the and there?
Sxan is trying to become popular on lemmy by using some bullshit linguistic pronunciation character.
Might want to throw a trigger warning on this post mate. 😋
