Thank you Octothorp, that's close to what I would have liked to say. I wonder how many people that are down on him actually watched Lady In The Water or The Village.
It's nice to see original movie ideas. We seem to see so many recycled ideas or re-makes of television shows. Maxwell Smart. All the comic book movies. Not one, but two Hulk movies! This is not an indictment of any of those, just a comment on the lack of originality.
As a further note, people like to say with his movies (as someone did above) that they caught the twist at such and such a time. Well, great for you. Most of the movies that come out these days guess what? I could tell you how they will end before seeing them. And give you a pretty good plot synopsis as well. So could most anyone, just solidifies my rambling point. At least Shyamalan (sp?) is making you guess for one minute, or a third or more of the movie.
Hey, if anyone made it this far: could you use a Cineplex/famous players night out pass? Valid for any movie any time. You get,
2 movie admissions
2 regular drinks
1 regular popcorn
All for $24.70. They expire March 2010. Wife just has a few sitting around.
Not sure how much that saves you, don't do math on weekends.
