When someone clearly misunderstands the meaning of the word 'hatred', you have no obligation to apologize. This comm isn't a super secret club, there is nothing stopping the blogger from getting an lj account and hashing it out with us rather than firing salvos at us in their comment section.
TLA is not just a shitty adaption, it's a clumsily made movie on its own right. People who go in to this movie without being familiar with the source material would be utterly lost. LAWST. The viewer cannot make an emotional connection with the characters. It's a gigantic heap of exposition after exposition with terribly coordinated action scenes strewn throughout. It's going to sweep the razzies.

"I have a problem with the “ooh Shyamalan aha twists shit ahahaa” meme, by which the movies he’s made, which are all quite unique, get tossed into the same pot and dismissed without consideration, or in which he is absurdly painted as “arrogant” for trying to realize his artistic vision...If Michael Bay simply made headless popcorn movies, I would have no problem with him. But his movies are essentially fascist propaganda, weapon fetishization mixed with crude racist stereotypes, and I strongly believe in speaking out against these things."
