M. Night Shyamalan

Who else loves him, HMM?!?!?

He's great, man.

I'll reserve my judgement of him until I see his next film. The Sixth Sense was cool, I LOVED Unbreakable, but Signs just didn't do it for me.

Really? Signs was my favorite of his 3 films. I really liked The Sixth Sense, and Unbreakable too.

I can't wait for his next film "The Village" to come out.:)

The Village could be cool. I'm looking forward to it as well. I hope it's better than Signs. Signs was good, don't get me wrong. The birthday party scene was jaw-dropping. But the end didn't sit right with me....I mean, WATER!!! They came all this way and have all this advanced technology and they didn't bring some kind of wetsuit?

I think he is over rated, don't get me wrong, I love his stuff and I was blown away by 6th Sense and I liked Signs but I was really hyped for Unbreakable, great cast, interesting preview but I'm sorry, and without giving anything away, I thought the ending blew chunks.

The Sixth Sense had its moments (all the ghost scenes were great) but mostly didn't do it for me.
SPOILER BELOW
Was the fact that Bruce Willis was a ghost supposed to be the big secret? He got SHOT DEAD in the first scene of the film... jeez.

Unbreakable was great, I love the idea of subtle superhero movies. Is it true that there may be a sequel?

Haven't seen Signs yet.

Rumors have it that the Village is Shyamalan's Ishtar.

Agreed. It was a brilliant origin story. There is a huge fan base wanting a sequel, but who knows.

About the Ishtar thing....*shivers*

I just really like him because his movies have surprise endings- mostly for Unbreakable. The Sixth Sense was kind of predictable, Signs wasn't though. The scenes with the aliens were so "spooky". He doesn't do the whole slasher gore teen horror film thing. He does mystery/suspense kind of things. I really like that, because that's what scares me more. Rather than someone's insides becoming their outsides. I can't wait to see The Village, and see what else he comes up with.

i personaly thought all 3 films were very slow moving and boring. I know that i will no longer pay to see his films any longer

I remember what made me like The Sixth Sense: "You wanna see where my Dad keeps his gun?" Creepy.
