Can someone please explain the joke for me?
The guy smiling on the left is M. Night Shyamalan, the director of the movie “Signs” (2002). Without giving away too much of the plot, it’s about aliens and the picture in the sign became a meme because the special effects in the movie were mediocre for the time.

You really need the buildup of the entire movie for the scene to be really impactful, but despite the bad CGI, Joaquin Phoenix's performance is excellent.
Damn, Mel Gibson is in it? I was excited til I saw that part.
Some of the dialogue is not great, but overall he has some fantastic acting that is worth seeing. Not to mention the other actors who are actually likeable and do a great job.
But, yeah, it is Mel Gibson. I wouldn't buy another copy if it puts money in his hands. If you haven't seen it I recommend finding an alternative path to watch it.
