I've loved all of his movies to date, kinda hated the twist in The Village, thought it could have done without it, but then thought that the horror of the final decision wouldn't have had any impact without it. And I can't think of another movie that changed main characters in the middle of the story, and I thought that was absolutely divine.

And even if I hated every single movie, his continued relationship with James Newton Howard keeps giving me endless listening pleasure.

I could watch Signs on repeat, and as much as I enjoyed The Sixth Sense, the endless spoofs that came out of it have stemmed any desire to see it again, although I'm sure I'd love it all over again if I did.

(likes Jessica particularly much right now)

I wanted to hit Anthony with a brick after about his second scene.

YES. In fact, when I watch the DVD, I tend to skip past the Anthony & Joanna scenes.

Hammer Films Red (that's the Pantone name)

Hee!

Hammer Films Red (that's the Pantone name)

That always makes me so very happy. Like "Bastard Amber" in the Roscolux book.

Not a fan of M. Night. Pissed he's making an Avatar movie. Hell, we don't need a live-action Avatar movie! The show is perfection!

when I watch the DVD, I tend to skip past the Anthony & Joanna scenes.

But not the Anthony/Turpin scenes, I hope.

"You gandered at my ward, sir. Gandered!"

The revelations were all SO FUCKING OBVIOUS and yet they were treated as these massive surprise twists.

This is pretty much my issue with all of Shamalamalamadingdong, not just Unbreakable. Well, that and the "Look at my surprise twist! See how incredibly clever I am? Pat me on the back now!!"ness of them.

(For bonus points, I have a friend with the same disability, and it didn't make her turn evil! Except in a "let me taunt you with my food blog" way.)

But not the Anthony/Turpin scenes, I hope.

Oh good heavens, no. That would be a crime.

(Dear Self, remember to load Sweeney Todd onto your laptop and iPod. That way Pete won't have to watch it over and over and over.)

My favorite Shyamalan word play was used in the New York times back when Lady in the Water came out, I think.

"Shyamaladenfreude."

Unbreakable made me want to throw things.

Unbreakable made me want to throw things that said, "SHOW! DON'T TELL!!" on them.
