Default M. Night Shyamalan

Anyone watch it? i cought the last 2 hours of it. what i saw was very well. they kept rasing the question, "do you believe in the supernatural?". suposedly Night drowned as a child and was revived. suposedly his films are works of non-fiction/autobiographies. this is what i gathered from the show. for a documentary it was fairly eary. seeing the ghost in the mirror towards the end seemed out of proportion. anyone else see it? what did you think?

No I didn't see it but it sounds interesting. His name has a nice ring to it.

many people have been revived after drowning. the cold temp of water helps one's brain cells to stay alive longer and thus makes it more possible to for one to be revived, as opposed to suffocating. it is hardly supernatural.

as in regards to his work, i think he has already peaked in his career when he made "sixth sense". everything after that is just a bigger and bigger disappointment. i personally am not at all excited about watching his next film, although i will watch it just to see what he has come up with.

What other films did he make? I saw 6th sense and signs and i liked the two very much. i will be seeing the village when it comes out.

I caught part of it. I tuned in right at the part with the ghost in the mirror, but I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be "real" or if it was a drama made to look like a documentary.

ghost in the mirror was weird. appeared to be a women instead of the litle boy they talked about.

He needs to make a story about his peeps. What a sellout IMO.

And "Signs" was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It had nothing to do with aliens. He threw that in there as an afterthought.

"Unbreakable" was unbelievably slow paced and boring. I don't know what the fuss is able this guy and his movies.

I was looking forward to watching this, but later found out it was all a publicity hoax:

Oh well, I'm sure I'll catch it eventually, but it sort of killed the excitement to hear that this whole thing was a big stunt.
