"this movie['s] philosophy is bullshit"

I think he's talking about The Happening. I also think it was agreed that we would never speak of that film.

I really didn't think this movie was trying to say anything deep, but I can see that if you expected it to, you'd be disappointed. I myself have a huge problem with films that try to act cleverer than they are (I'm looking at you, Darko). There's no terrible thing about philosophy 101 per se - it's just that there's a…
