M. Night, Lady in The Water?
Gutter Monkey:
My friend and I saw Lady as part of a triple-feature, along with two other, much better movies. And in fact, sneaking in to see the movie without paying was the only way I was willing to see the movie. And the only reason we even attempted to do that was that my friend knew somebody who was an extra in a scene that didn't get cut. And after all of that, we still felt cheated when the movie was over.
The characters are flat and uninteresting; the story makes wild leaps of logic that insult the audience's intelligence, there's at least one significant plot hole (which I forget the particulars of, but trust me, it's a doozy), and the sheer egocentrism of the thing made me want to puke.
ampersandwitch:
. . .I liked it.
I enjoyed Paul Giamatti more than was necessary, and I think that's why.
TheFuriousWombat:
the fact that m. night case himself as the writer who's going to change the world with his work shocked me with its excessive self-congratulatory nature. that alone pretty much ruined the movie for me.
ampersandwitch:
He was a cock in that role. That's a fact. I just tried to ignore him when he was on screen.

Holy crap, why did I not even think of that? And yeah, I just get sick of his cameos in every movie... he always has this aloof and annoying nature to him, which I like to call bad acting. And when you augment his usual minute or two of screen-time to what it was in Lady... that's not a good thing.
