No, I am not 16. I am *well over 15*.
I am not bashing you about your age, it's exactly the opposite. Kudo's for you, at your age I was only interested in Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies (and I just realised I didn't rate any of them...).
Silver wrote:Your complain about The Village is the one I am actually sick of, sorry. Shyamalan never made a movie, which relies entirely on twist. NEVER. Please, try to comprehend that. This. Does. NOT. Matter. And it is the most common and unfair criticism of him. I don't care about the twist at the end of 6th Sense, I care about the most beautiful scene in the movie - the mother and the son with the cart on the parking lot.
I disagree, I think this was one of the trademarks of Shyamalan's films, but people got fed up about this. Shyamalan tried some different directions, but failed horribly with that (Lady in the water, the Happening). His latest - the Last Airbender - is his absolute low in my opinion. Now he's starting to become the joke of film-making and it looks like he is as blind as a bat for not realizing this.

I don't care if aliens are immune to water or get rashes from peanut butter in Signs - I care how in the critical moment Gibson explains to his girl what he felt when she was born. I don't give a slightest fuck whether The Village is surrounded by strange creatures or by ordinary wolves - I care about the slo-mo shot of Phoenix taking the hand of Bryce Dallas-Howard which gives me shivers even when I am thinking about it. I don't care if a critic is killed in LITW or Shyamalan cast himself as god, I care about the sigh you hear when Story opens the diary of this suffering man. And finally, I don't care so much if the tragedy in The Happening is caused by the plants or by the government, I care about Alma on the street waiting for Eliot to tell him the news.
I agree with this. Shyamalan knows how to shoot some amazing scenes.

Yes, but he should listen to his audience as well. He's alienating them at a quick rate.
