    M. Night Shyamalan

    This week was "crank : high voltage" . Not as fine an example of the law of diminishing returns as "deathwish 4 or the directorial career of M Knight shymanlamilaminans but utter bollocks nonetheless.

      M. Night Shyamalan

      Shyamalan's films are all shit. I've only seen Sixth Sense, which made me want to throw my TV under a truck with it's vomit-in-your-mouth-awful 'twist' and the one about the killer pollen which was actually at least less awful than Willis as a Ghost. I know the rest are shit and I am hanging on grimly to the hours of life gained through not watching them.

          South Park had him nailed.

          Him, Michael Bay and Mad Mel

            Cannon was run by two guys named Golan and Globus, and they were shit-picture merchants extraordinaire. A great trailer, followed by 90 minutes of pure disappointment

            didn't these movies usually involve some clean cut american hero combining with the elite israeli special forces to overcome the twin terrors of communism and arab terrorism? Real cold war israeli lobby film porn?

            For a plot twist, the american hero might be rugged.

              Why did no-one tell me about Split at the time (2016)? I loved it. James McAvoy is simply briliiant as the eponymous split personality disorder kidnapper, playing 6 main identities on screen (out of his apparent 23 which I guess just would have got way too confusing) who in turn terrify and give hope to his victims depending on which of his rapidly interchangeable personalities 'comes into the light' at any given moment. If you haven't seen it I'd recommend it. Like his other stuff it's a really tense chiller rather than out and out horror - well, most of the way ...

                I know about ‘Split’ and have it recorded to watch but don’t think I ever realised it’s a Shyamalan movie.

                He’s just made a sequel to ‘Unbreakable’, hasn’t he?

                  Saw a trailer yesterday for Glass which has McAvoy and Willis reprising their roles from Split and Unbreakable and Samuel L. Jackson as Mr Glass. Looked intriguing if nothing else.

                    He's kind of become lost and in a roundabout regarding ideas if he has to turn to his old screenplays to forge another new, but nothing strange about that. Most screenwriters muster only a hit or two profoundly unique. As do most authors. The overwhelming majority try to scoop out yet another story from the core of the original idea.
