M Night Shamma llamma ding dong
>>214287132I was the one who coined the name Shymalama Ding Dong. I commented it first on reddit many many years ago. Now the odd tranny says it.
>>214287132I liked The Village. Seriously.
>>214287132all his movies are boring
>>214289089newfag
>>214287132My favorite is Split, excellent movie.>>214287224I hate how dimwits give Shama shit for this. He made completely adequate adaptation of 5/10 material.
>>214289112The Village was peak Shymalan. Every film he makes he knows people will be expecting "Le epic tweest" and he anticipated that knowing that after the tweest comes the audience will be sitting there all smug thinking "Ah yes, that was the tweest, honestly I expected it to be something like that, how trite." Then BAM! He follows it up with another better tweest when they weren't expecting it.It was a shame plebian critics were too caught up with their anger at being "fooled" to see the wonderful contouring trick he pulled off.
>>214289384Shyama tweesting himself into delicious pretzel is my favorite dish.

>>214287132In terms of being an actually good film, he only really has 2:Sixth Sense > Unbreakable >>>> Signs >>> Split = The Visit > Trap > Knock at the Cabin > The Village > The Happening > Old > Lady in the Water > Glass > The Last Airbender > After EarthBut in terms of sheer entertainment, pretty much all of his films are great even if they are batshit retarded, except After Earth which is just mostly boring.>>214289527>>actually bad movies that aren't even fun to hate watch>Lady in the WaterI honestly think Lady in the Water is his best cringe kino, the choice to cast himself as the tortured writer and killing the critic is so incredibly self serving it makes my jaw drop. That film is such an unbelievable fucking mess and I love it.
>>214287132He did so well with the Sixth Sense twist, that it's hindered his entire career. Now he feels like every movie has to have a twist. He needs to drop the gimmick, and just write whatever the fuck he wants to. If the audience is expecting a twist, it isn't really a twist anymore
>>214289650Anon, his past 4 films or so haven't had a twist.
>>214289691Isn't that a twist by itself?
>>214289650Honestly he hasn't really had that many twists maybe lady in the water. >happening Not really a twist, plants causing the murders was proposed pretty early>airbenderNo twist>the visitMaybe a bit of a twist, but it's pretty obvious something is wrong with the "grandparents"\>oldno twist>knock at the cabinno twist>trapno twistI haven't seen the rest of the movies, so maybe they have twists (devil, after earth, glass, split)
>>214289691>>214289736
>>214289736>splitHe's actually got superpowers I guess?>after earthIt's in the fucking title but isn't it only said like half way through that the planet they are on is Earth, and isn't that the "twist"? I seem to remember it being sort of a reveal, but I might be making that up. The film is so fucking forgettable.>glassThe organisation that is trying to "help" the superpowered is actually trying to suppress them.Never seen Devil, and he didn't direct it so I don't really care. All 3 of those "twists" are kind of thin.
Signs was fucking kino
>>214289185>He made completely adequate adaptation of 5/10 material.Bait used to be believable.
>>214289982>waaaah my average cartoon for little kids is serious business
>>214290035Yes, it is. Glad you understand.
>>214290208Korra is better.
the sixith sense is great, i saw it knowing the twist and it was done really well. willis gave a great performance
>>214289527>Stuart Little>with a screenplay by M. Night Shyamalan What the fuck.
>>214287132I genuinely believe this guy was one of the last great auteurs
For me it's The Happening.
>>214291752He really is. He always does his own thing and while it doesn't always work, it sure as hell feels more refreshing than anything the big studios are putting out these days.
>>214292072It's amazing that the man accidentally made 1.5 good films, coasts on that for the rest of his life, exclusively makes garbage, and yet I'm always excited to see a new film of his.
>>214287132They all suck ass but I liked Old for peak Thomasin McKenzie
