From the trailers i was expecting big things from this film - i was proper exited about seeing it.

I cant remember an end to a film that was as shit as this one. It sets the scene ready for a big twist or something - and just it just ends without any real explanation to a load of stupid little subplots going on. Shit film, dont bother with it.

Your right, i didnt. Other than the TV blokes "theory" at the end, there didnt seem to be an answer. And there were so many other little questions (like the whole swing thing) that didnt seem to have any relevance. I will look for some answers on google i think.

Is it anything to do with The Supremes

    Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me, outta my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening

When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you find a tender love
You don't need to take care of
Then you better beware of the happening

One day you're up
When you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour, yeah!
Riding high on the top of the world it happened
Suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams torn apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life for what it is
It's not a dream
It's not a bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened

Is it real?
Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake?
'Cause when I lost the love
I thought was mine for certain
Suddenly it starts hurting
I saw the light too late
When that fickle finger of fate
Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up

So sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour
'Cause when you got a tender love
You don't take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

   Can't beat a bit of Motown.

  Right, think I'm getting this....it's a film about the Supremes, swinging with a TV  quizmaster, with the sub plot he asks shit questions.

   Is it Chris Tarrant?

I was really looking forward to The Happening too - the reviews have been appauling for it - which is a damn shame - I tend to ignore the reviews anyway but I'll still give it a go.

Rich shouldn't you watch The Happening 1 before seeing The Happening 2?

To be honest I had no intention on watching either, so I will stick to this plan, this thread only seems to have backed up my original thoughts regarding this film that I wasn't even aware of.
