Hulk Happenings
June 9th, 2008So Chris and I are conflicted on what we should see on Friday, The Incredible Hulk or The Happening.
We will obviously see both eventually, but we’re not sure which to go to opening night. Sure the Hulk is the Hulk, but I bet the crowds will be bigger for that and I know for me personally I want to see The Happening just as much.
So I guess I’ll ask you loyal reader, which one would you see first?

Uh. The Hulk of course. I love M. Knight Shamalamadingdong’s stuff, but his last really good movie was Unbreakable. Unless you guys are just real Horror freaks, i think the Hulk is what everyone’s gonna be talking about.
And… if ya’ll DON’T see the Hulk, that’ll really make me angry. And you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
Seriously, good or bad, that’s the movie everyone will be talking about come monday.

You should see the Happening. Am I saying that because of my unquestionable love for Mr. M.N.S.? Maybe. I think both are going to be awesome but come on…the Happening is rated R! I’m so excited.

Carlisle- While we are pretty big Horror guys, I think you’re right that more people will be talking about the Hulk and would like to watch it before anyone calls me about it.
Ben - I have some unquestioning (and questionable) love for M.N.S as well, a love that seemed to blind me to what made everyone else mad about his later work (Although Lady in the Water was a hard sell)
Stevebob- If I had my say, that’s what it would be. I’ll see if I can bump the runner up to Saturday…
Jurei- Tony Stark is indeed in the Hulk, now that Marvel Studios has their act together, the universe is going to be much larger in these films.

I’d go with Hulk first and be content to wait for Happening on DVD. Here’s why-
They wouldn’t have green lit Hulk if it wasn’t good. Plus we know there’s a marvel universe crossover cameo in it. So there it is.
My thing with the Happening is that it’s tag line in the commercials is “M. Knight Shyamalan’s first R-Rated film.’ THERE ARE TONS OF R-RATED FILMS OUT THERE! THIS IS NOT A NEW THING! What it means is there will be more nudity, profanity, and or graphic violence. I get that, but those things in themselves do not make a great plot…just ask “They Live.” Usually a film’s rating isn’t its draw unless you really don’t care about the plot to begin with.
