Am I the only one in the world who thinks that M. Night Shamalamadingdong sucks? I didn't fall for his film, "The 6th Sense." Apparently the world was wowed by his stylish film technique, and even Time magazine, or Newsweek....I don't remember which, called him the 'next Spielberg.' Steven must have busted a gut, laughing his ass off when he read that! He must have, 'cause I was doing the same!
I mean, they are comparing this guy, to the very same guy who directed "Schindler's List." Give me an f#@king break! Sure, Steven gave us a few duds, such as "Hook, " "Always, " and "1941," but at least he made some great stuff inbetween.
This M. Night guy has created crap from the get go! I saw "The 6th Sense," and I saw more than dead people. I saw how Mr. Shamalamdingdong treated the audience as if they were complete morons. He didn't expect people to ask questions, like:
"Hey, if Bruce Willis's character didn't realize he was dead, then how was he able to explain, getting on the bus, without having to pay?" Or...."Hey, if Bruce didn't realize he was dead, how was he able to explain why no one would talk to him at the little girls funeral gathering." Or..."If the dead girl was able to push that box with the video tape in it...why wasn't she able to put it in the VCR and press the play button. I mean, the remote control was right there!"
Gee, we must really be stupid. Not to ask questions like that. But, our minds were so wrapped up in the terrific storytelling of Mr. Shamalamadingdong, that we just didn't care...Well, I did care...and even a blind man would have guessed that idiotic ending. What a twist! What a load of crap!
Of course, Hollywood fell in love with this 'wonderkid.' They gave him more money and he made even more films! Yes, he did. He made the unbearable, "Unbreakable." With Bruce Willis. I thought he died in the first movie?
He showed us that people would rather raise their children in a make believe world with evil monsters lurking beyond the boundaries of the woods, than in the real world...in "The Village."
He tried to scare us into thinking that nature will attack! It will wage a war on human beings! As in, "The Happening." I laughed so much during that movie! What a crock of mailto:sh@! When Mark Wahlberg started to talk to that plastic plant! Classic stupidity! And what about when that zoo keeper taunted the lion and got his arms ripped off! More classic stupidity. Was this movie suppose to scare us, or make us laugh? Mr. Shamalamadingdong....decide whether you want to make a thriller or a comedy. Please.
M. Night thinks he is smarter that the rest of us, and he may be right, to a degree. He has outsmarted Hollywood out of millions of dollars and he has picked the pockets of avid movie-goers from around the world. Some people actually think his films are good. If you are one of those people, you have my sympathies.
I am not one of those people. I don't like to be treated as if I left my brain at the front doors of the movie house. Yes, there are movies that require you do this....and I love those types of films. But Mr. Shamalamadingdong actually thinks his movies are worth watching.
I would rather watch paint dry, while having my fingernails chewed off by rabid weiner dogs.
Beto
