I absolutely hated Lady in the Water, but I have really enjoyed his other work, Unbreakable being my favorite. Definitely willing to give this a shot – I actually think it looks decent.

I can see why you have your reservations about the film John. Its cool if you hate ShamHam’s work John, a lot of people do, but I feel he is a fantastic director. Hopefully The Happening will sway your opinion

I’m puzzled by the number of people that took Lady in the Water at face value. To me, it seemed obvious that it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. The bit about him casting himself as an amazing writer whose incredible book saves the world was him poking fun at his image as an egotistical ass. I suppose it depends on whether you think Shyamalan has a sense of humour or not. There was also the ‘documentary’ on the making of ‘The Village’ where he also made fun of his image (people were told not to make eye contact with him etc…).

I’m not saying that LitW was a great movie or anything (it wasn’t), just that a pretty large chunk of it was meant as a joke.

Clearly, the people in the movie are killing themselves because of Bush/Cheney/Halliburton!

I’m digging the trailer. People killings themselves, I’m down for that.

I support Sham completely. It looks like I’m in the minority, but I love all of Sham’s movies. I just don’t understand it when someone says they hate his work. I hope you guys give his latest release a chance.

Granted it is my opinion but having aliens visit a planet to possibly conquer or simply inhabit, where 2/3 of the planet can kill you, is in my opinion kind of idiotic.

Also to find out that your arch enemy is the exact opposite of you, you being super tough and him being super fragile, is really comic silliness at it’s highest form. And I’m a avid comic reader.

And to find out that you’ve been living in a cage shielded and away from the modern world is just a plain poor man’s Twilight Zone…and I love the Twilight Zone.

But like I said that is just my opinion.

>>One bad film? Granted good or bad, it is subjective. But man Night made some stinkers after Signs. Unbreakable, Signs, Lady In the Water, and the Village are pretty big stinkers in my opinion<<

I’m glad you took the time to admit that this was your opinion because in my opinion, your opinion is wrong. But I’m very biased – for Shyamalan. I think the hate for him goes far and above what is rational. The movie looks very interesting – as does all of his movies, IMO.
