Career?

I thought The Village was good, even though I figured out the hook before it was revealed in the movie. I thought it was an interesting story about the adults making the decision that they did.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

He explained it in "Lady in the Water" or whatever that last one was called.
He's, like, Jesus, or some sort of prophet, and the rest of us are too dumb to get it. Especially the Bob Balaban-esque critics, who are worthy of death.

His American Express commercial wasn't bad.

He hasn't made five movies; he's made one movie five times.

Blah blah blah
The Sixth Sense and Signs were hits.
Unbreakable and The Village were decent films.
Lady in the Water was something I actually enjoyed. I know. I'm one of 5 people.
I'll be seeing this. I havent hated any of his films.

I've only seen one of his films and that was Signs and I very much enjoyed it, but I had no interest in any of his other films. I saw part of The Village, but that's it. M. Night Shamalyan thinks he's this century's Alfred Hitchcock and has shown that with the cameos he has in his films and the plot twists and all these other things that he does in his films. Hitchcock's films are alot better than his and for him to think of himself as an Alfred Hitchcock is an insane notion.

I've seen all his films too. And I really enjoyed Sixth Sense, Signs, and The Village.
I was nuetral with Lady - didn't like it, didn't hate it.
I did however really hate Unbreakable.
As a film maker he still knows how to create tension/suspense. If only it was in service of a good script.

I just don't get the vitriol some people have for him. As if his films were a personal attack on them. Mental.
But I never understand why people obsess over the negative/things they don't like or why they have to be bat**** crazy over those things.

I think his films have gotten progressively worse since The Sixth Sense.

When you build up your films as having a suprise twist and that twist, which seems remarkably like your previous twists, you shouldn't be suprised at the diminishing returns you receive, either critically or commercially.
And I hated how he stole from the Wizard of Oz in Signs and acted like it was an original idea.

I'm guessing he has said in interviews that he is the next Hitchcock and that he came up with the idea in Signs?
Surely, we aren't making blind assumptions and putting words in his mouth?
God forbid an artist pay homage to something with an allusion!!!!

I do not like him. He and my friend had a run-in awhile ago and his behavior was disgraceful, and then the event was whitewashed in the biography "The Man Who Heard Voices."

I haven't seen this yet - but if it is 1 hour and 31 minutes long, I already feel robbed. I've seen trailers that felt longer than that.

Newsweek put him on the cover right after 6th Sense came out, and it went straight to his head. I think they did indeed dub him the next Hitchcock. His movies have become increasingly self-induldgent.

It seems to be in to dislike him. I love his films, so I cannot figure out why so many people want to find something to dislike. He's one of about three people who guarantee my ass in a movie theater seat.
