Half in the Bag Episode 158: Glass

M. Night Shyamalan made another movie. This one is called Glass.

[LostCosmonauts]

Glass stole the concept of tying up cheerleaders in a basement from Rich Evans.

Deleted twist scene, Mark Wahlberg shows up and asks "Hey guys whats happening?"

You should've stayed for the after credits scene, where it turns out Glass is part of the Madea Cinematic Universe.

"Interesting... But still kind of a failure."

It's so satisfying when you return from the cinema to see a Half in the Bag on a film you've just seen.

They should have introduced Mark Wahlberg at the end in the exact same way the did with Bruce Willis at the end of SPLIT

*Lady at a diner watching the footage of David, Kevin and Elijah:*
“Wow. This is crazier than that time when those plants killed all those people. What was that event called again? The... uhh..”

*the camera pans to reveal Mark Wahlberg sitting next to her:*
“The Happening”

When you don't care about spoilers, RLM is the way to go. You're always guaranteed a few laughs.

The real sad part of this film is when you realise all the people in The Village don't know any of this shit is happening. Sucks for them

I don't know if anyone's said this, and I haven't finished the video to check, but the "oddly pink room" Jay references at 6:50 ish is probably Baker-Miller pink, from Wikipedia: "At the correctional facility, the rates of assault before and after the interior was painted pink were monitored. According to the Navy's report, "Since the initiation of this procedure on 1 March 1979, there have been no incidents of erratic or hostile behavior during the initial phase of confinement". Only fifteen minutes of exposure was enough to ensure that the potential for violent or aggressive behavior had been reduced, the report observed.[2]"

Shyamalan has always reminded me of a talented 16 year old who writes a story that's good for his age and you read it and think 'this kid is gonna write something great someday' but then he never does. This is a timeless story of wasted potential. The man is now a walking human warning to beware of fame.

I always choose RLM to spoil movies I don't want to see. It's so much more entertaining

[troycannon]

"Glass shattered by critics"

RLM was close!

[nameofcrispy]

There was a part when Sarah Paulson says on the phone “Execute Order 66.” Then the Cloverfield Police started doing their thing.

8:23 I love how Jay freezes but Mike doesn't when the spoilers start.

"Why are you watching a review for the movie or the trailer you've never seen? - Because I have nothing better to do with my life

[Snowspader]

I expected my expectations to be subverted.
But instead my expectation of subverted expectations was subverted.
Ive been Shamalamamboozled.

[warbossgegguz]

That double reverse bait-and-switch really subverted my expectations.

Therefore, it was brilliant.

I think I was around twelve when I watched Unbreakable for the first time and I was mesmerized. I've rewatched it several times the last 18 years including a couple of days before going to see Glass at the movies. Also rewatched Split (which I also really liked). The thing that really bothers me about Glass is that it didn't give David Dunne the respect that he deserves. Just listening to a fraction of the Unbreakable theme and picturing the scene where he almost drowns in the pool gives me chills, whereas his entire death scene in Glass was eaten up by revealing the Clover-secret society gimmick. Just go all out, old school soundtrack blazing, with his son screaming in slow motion as his misunderstood superhero father, and last living family member, dies. And then have Sarah Paulson say something lowkey to the son afterwards, about them never wanting it to go this far but it had to be done or whatever. The restaurant scene explains their agenda anyway.

Knowing now that Bruce Willis may have been faltering mentally explains a lot in this movie.

"I loved this film until I didn't"


That's exactly what I felt lol.
