M. Night, Lady in The Water?

<< < (7/8) > >>

TheBoredOne:
He's obviously just mimicing his inspiration, Alfred Hitchcock, who also made cameos in his films.

Damn o.o you guys just seem to be making such a big deal about this. Am I the only one who thinks it was about time he actually wrote a part for himself in a movie? After all he's the writer and director.. Who cares if he wants to play a vital role in one for a change?
I watched an interview with him about the movie, and he said he enjoys acting as well, but he's never had a good reason to really act much in any of his movies, and this was his chance.

His movies have been using too much CGI lately which in my opinion is bringing the quality down.. I really liked Signs until the unrealistic looking CGI alien scene.. and I really liked Lady in the Water until we saw the beasts. If he could get a better artist to do his CGI scenes, or just not do them at all, I think the movies would be better for it.

Orbert:
I have no problem with him appearing in his films in a cameo role, a la Hitchcock. But since people pretty much agree that he's not a very good actor, the role should be minimal. Just a walk-on or "guy who asks what time it is" kind of thing. Otherwise he's basically lowering the quality of his own movie by indulging his ego. That's his choice, but it's a legitimate gripe.

I agree with the CGI thing. Suspense is in your head. Not knowing what's there in the dark, or around the corner, or following you down the street, is much more frightening than "ooh look at the scary computer-generated monster".

GruntyBalboa:
I liked Lady in the Water. I thought it was an ok movie. It wasn't the best of the year by far *cough*departed*coughcough*, but it wasn't the worst I've ever seen. I think people bash on it too much because its put next to the stellar movies that came out around the same time.

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.

What exactly does that mean? I don't understand the jump from being aloof to bad acting.

Mr u Suk:
although i really didn't like Lady as much as 6th sence or Signs. i thought it was very good in a couple places

the fact that almost everybody who lived there was totally fucked up in some way was totally bitchin'. by far the best one was Reggie, the guy only working out one side of his body, but the movie critic was a close 2nd (thanks to the scene where he meets the beast while being mildly drunk)

i found that the movie was better if you thought of it less as a suspence movie, but a modern-age fairy tale.




..........and im going to have to admit........im a fan of the Village
