Shamalama deserves for me to at least give it a chance. I, for one, actually really liked Lady in the Water. It was kind of an age of innocence type of fantasy movie.
You don't see much of that nowadays. People seem to have lost all hope for humanity, even though there are still good people in the world.[/QUOTE]
This post is a joke right?! "Lady In the Water" was
ing HORRIBLE! I'm not so much mad at the plot but the constant
ing monologuing made me want to stick my head in a blender or microwave. I mean who the
thinks monologuing which came so CLEARLY and ANNOYINGLY so as trying to explain to the audience like they're idiots, would be a good idea? Never mind the fact it came across as a
ing lecture as well. I like to watch movies, foreign et al, and will likely take a film studies but I don't want it delivered from one character to another in a movie as an explanation. The only difference is "Lady In the Water" did it in terms of certain types of stories, explaining them.
The sad thing is the idea of a modern Lady Lake concept isn't a bad idea. The issue? Shymalan delivered it terribly.
Oh and speaking of the color issue in the movie you'd think a guy like Shymalan would want to see color in "Avatar: The Last Airbender" considering he's a fan of the series. Add to that he's not White and maybe Asian kids and others seeing this might think they could get a job in Hollywood or want to try acting.
I mean does Shymalan not see himself as Indian? Does he clearly see himself as White or what? Seriously.
edit: I also hate to break it to ya'll but even "The Sixth Sense"'s twist is ripped off that "Are You Afraid Of the Dark?" episode. Shymalan even admitted to it. I think I might have even remembered that show after ending Sense or thinking it seemed familiar.
