Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Compassionately intolerant
I saw the After Earth trailer today and thought, "Hm. This dialog is very, very Scientology based" and "Hm. Why are they doing those goofy accents?"
M. Night?
That explains it.
I liked The Sixth Sense and love the one of his films that seems most hated, Unbreakable...but I've given up on him in every say since then.
I too wonder how he got a film financed...unless Will wanted the vehicle so badly that his name carried it.
Huh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Getting to make it a father-son movie makes it seem much more likely that that's the case. Dude, just make home movies with the kid and accept that no one but your family will want to watch them!

Jaden was okay in the Karate Kid remake. Perfectly cromulent and pretty likeable.

They were on Ellen together recently, and instead of going over to the chairs like a normal guest, Jaden had to run through the audience slapping hands. And throughout, he basically yelled "LOOK AT ME!!!!" any time people weren't admiring him.
So maybe he's a fine actor, but as a teenager in real life? The worst.

Growing up the famous kid of movie star parents will do that to you.

Hey. New board.
I think Unbreakable was hated when it first came out, in comparison to Sixth Sense, but is less so now since it's basically a masterpiece compared to all of the more recent ones.
Most M. Night discussion I've read seem to think each movie is progressively worse than the previous, all the way down to The Last Airbender. Seems about right for the ones I've actually seen, though I might like Unbreakable a little better than The Sixth Sense in hindsight (not in at-the-moment sight, though; The Sixth Sense definitely brought me more immediate pleasure, but Unbreakable stuck with me some.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I still hate Unbreakable. To be fair though, I can't compare it to anything more recent because I hated it SO much that I haven't seen any of his movies since.

That's the most hated? I love that one, probably more than The Sixth Sense. I thought The Happening was the most hated. Or The Last Airbender. I think most people forget The Lady in the Water even exists.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think he has good directing talent. I just think he needs to direct someone else's scripts.
