Thanks for giving me the heads up not to watch "Lady in the Water". And to think I was gonna watch that after we buitl all the movies on Thursday night...
I mean, it's interesting in that "I'm watching a mess" kind of way.
After all,
************ SPOILER ***************************
Can a movie where the writer/director casts himself as a brilliant young writer whose works will change the world after he's dead be totally without value?
Can a movie that goes out of its way to talk about how pretentious and awful movie critics are for assuming they know the intentions of a storyteller (which in the end just seems like Shyamalan knew how bad his movie was and decided to cover his tracks with an indictment of critics, which, if critics derided his movie, could be pointed to as the REASON of said derision) be totally without value?
Can a movie with a scene where the entire cast sits around and thinks about the solution to a problem for 30 seconds when LITERALLY everyone in the audience knows what it is and has known since minute 15 of the film be totally without value?
