I liked it too.
Yeah... That went well.

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.

See? That's what I meant, I guess. Not that Unbreakable was the most hated, but pretty darned hated.
I thought The Happening was the most hated. Or The Last Airbender. I think most people forget The Lady in the Water even exists.
I didn't see any of these..or The Village.
If I really think about it, Signs must have been my exit from the M. Night train.
There is so much dumbosity in that one, I actually felt sorry for him. Then, I saw interviews with him. Suddenly, I was paralyzed with the not caring.
It was sad though. I honestly thought the Sixth Sense had a sort of genius about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm the weirdo who thought Sixth Sense was over rated, so I've never been an M Night fan. I must admit I've greeted his fall from grace with a bit of shadenfreude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't love Sixth Sense, but I was spoiled for it. I liked Unbreakable a lot, though.

I am a sucker for the hero in the everyman story. The one where people struggle with their own imperfections to do the right thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't liked any of his movies much. I don't know what people saw in the ones that were popular--I found them emotionally unengaging, and they didn't make up for that with anything else.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I guessed the "twist" for 6th Sense really really early. I'm the one who watches way too much crime/medical dramas, so as soon as Bruce Willis was shot, I was like:
"How the hell did he survive that bullet? He must be dead or in a coma. Is this a flashback?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This is similar to The Crying Game where my friend (from the East Coast, big city) and I from the West Coast (big city), took one look and said: "uh, I think we know that twist too."
