In the summer of 2002, I went to see Signs with my estranged father. I was too young to go, but a family friend who was a little older than myself had seen it and I wanted to be cool, like him. My dad hastily agreed to take me, likely out of guilt— his attempt to make amends for years of absenteeism— or to avoid hours of awkward conversation— also because of his years absenteeism. We didn’t get along. I didn’t like him and he knew that. But we went.
The theater was located in a wealthy suburb of San Diego, an area I dreaded to visit. I may have been young, but I knew we didn’t belong. I lived…

"Morgan, after you were born, the doctor gave you to your mother. When she first looked at you, you just stared right back. You both just stared at each other for longest time, and you didn't even cry."
Faith as horror. Family in the process of rebuilding. Suspense within silences. Terrifying and beautiful in a way I can't quite describe, mainly because of its unrelenting confidence. I wish I could replace every new theatrically released christian movie with this.
Men only have two moods:
1. "Aaahhhhh, I am insane with anger!!!"
and
2. "We're gonna beat your ass, bitch!!" 😠
every time joaquin was on screen my mum softly gasped and whispered “joaquin...” which first of all is a big mood and second of all made the movie way more dramatic than it actually was because it was uhhhh. boring
"[It] felt wrong not to swing."
Chaos and tragedy are inevitable, it's our choice to act, believe, and love in the face of it anyway that defines us.

"Looks a little like our house doesn't it?"
Baptism by water. A uniquely traumatic drama anchored by comedy and familial disruption. As scary as it is amusing and overflowing with tears.
peak Shyamalan, really--this film is well-acted and touching and lovely, there's not one line of dialogue that feels remotely natural, and the ending is goofy as shit
(discussed on this episode of Blank Check!)
"One time, I was at this party... and I was sitting on the couch with Amanda McKinney. She was just sitting there, looking beautiful. So, I lean in to kiss her, and I realize I have gum in my mouth. So, I turn to spit it out and put it in a paper cup. I turn back, and Amanda McKinney throws up all over herself. I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered."
This would've been a very suspenseful movie if not for the fact that my brother kept shouting "I'M DA JOKAH BAYBEE" whenever Joaquin Phoenix appeared on screen.
