Blog for a Cure

All the ad revenue generated from this blog and several others will go to the Chordoma Foundation which is a non-profit organization that goes towards research and treatment of this rare bone cancer. Funding is needed because governments tend to pass over such rare diseases when distributing funding. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.chordomafoundation.org

Due to the support for this blog, we have now raised $62ish, all of which will go towards the Chordoma Foundation. Thank you.

I feel like I'm in a M. Night Shyamalan movie

First of all, you should give me props for actually looking up his name instead of totally butchering it. Second, the reason I feel like I'm in one of his movies is because of the heavy fog that has blanketed the UBC campus. The fog has given the campus a very eerie mood to it, a mood that is used in many of his movies. If you are not aware of his movies, I will list some of them for you:

The Sixth Sense: A movie in which a kid purportedly sees dead people. A psychiatrist comes to investigate and seems to help the kid only to find that he is dead himself.

Signs: Aliens invade the world. In the climax, a character finds out that water harms the aliens and saves the world.

The village: People live in a village in 19th century America only to discover that it is actually the present day.

The happening: People mysteriously commit suicide until it is realized that toxins secreted by plants are doing the damage.

There, I have just ruined 4 movies for you if you have not watched them before. As you can see, M. Night uses a lot of plot twists; however, I have noticed that the quality of his movies has declined considerably since the Sixth Sense. If he were to make a movie about the fog around UBC, it would probably be called "the fog" or "the mist" or "phenomena". It might have something to do with aliens or dead people in a crazy elaborate plot, and only until the very last minute would be realize that it was all a dream. This is the cliche of all plot twists and he is bound to use it eventually as he is using up plot twists at an alarming rate.
