Lady in the Water
Let's start a pool about the trick ending to M. Night Shyamalan's new movie Lady In The Water.
- Is the lady dead?
- Is she actually allergic to water?
- Is the pool actually set in the present time, or even THE FUTURE?
- Is she a supervillian robot Bigfoot?
You have to guess both the trick ending and the amount of anger you'll feel at having spend $15 only to get suckered in again by a lame DeVry Technical Institute writer's workshop trick ending.

I say she's not the one in the water, they are actually at the bottom of a pond. In the future. And the past, simulaneously.
Just having seen the movie poster, I will say she is Mother Earth. In all of us.
All of the water in the pool, and the lady, and Paul Giamatti, and the whole apartment building is actually contained in a single bead of sweat that runs down a digitally resurrected Marlon Brando's face after he eats a very, very spicy tamale on the set of Superman Returns.
Well, I predict that the guy actually drowned at the beginning, but unlike a certain other movie, everyone else is already dead too.
The otherwise happy ghosts of the hotel, being tired of the goofy guy who thinks he's still alive, conceived a scheme to dress a woman as a scary ghost, as opposed to a relaxed, well adjusted ghost. In this movie, the hoax is designed to drive the protagonist out, not keep him in.
The only living beings involved at all are the aliens watching from an adjacent field of corn off screen. They saw the man drown, while they were flattening corn stalks into a portrait of Joaqin Phoenix.
she's a man. too easy. next question.
The director was Bruce Willis all along.
Also, I'll find out I'm actually dead.
He's a Gene Pool cleaner and this is an elaborate allegory a la Schindler's list about a guy who larns that eugenics is wrong by saving Others who turn out to be just like him.
I think the lady in the water is actually one of those little super market trinkets you buy and toss in a cup of water that then expand to massive proportions, looking mostly like day old turds.
She's that, and she's turds. Day old turds, and not a lady at all, and she has a full head of hair, which explains the aggregation of her being made up of day old turds.
