6th Sense wasn't all that.

Wrong.  Why are you always wrong? :(

Is Dune going to get better or will it continue to be utter crap? I was 20 minutes before I stopped.

80's dune? Just give up.

Worth watching once at least.  The worms are neat, the score's pretty nice, and the lines are occasionally quoteable for ironic/humorous effect.

That one begs a remake or mini-series.

Curiously, I find I am in agreement with you on most matters not related to guns.

I disagree. Except for the theme music.
PDH!

Here be spoilers

6th sense was OK....until you sat and reflected, then you realize how shit it was. The reason why no one saw the ending coming is because....there was no reason to suspect that Bruce Willis was a ghost. It made no sense. All the time, did he not realize that no one was talking to him? recognizing him? Did it not dawn on him that he wasn't feeling hungry anymore? Or tired? That he  didn't need to take a piss anymore? Twist endings are fine when you can go back and go "aaah, I see." Like that ghost movie with Nicole Kidman. But this one made you go, "Huh?"

I saw it coming. That dinner with his wife was the giveaway. She wasn't looking at him or avoiding looking at him, all her comments were delayed and not directly responsive to his, she showed no recognition that he was there.

Right. But you think HE would have caught on at some point. Also, don't really see the need for spoilers for a movie that's 15 years old.

He's a ghost, why should he be catching on to anything?  You are assuming a dead person will act like a live one.

Not normally, but when the whole movie is the twist it's worth typing a couple extra words of warning on the off-chance somebody hasn't seen it.
