M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie trailer

I don’t care what anyone else says. This movie looks awesome. :slight_smile:

Never understood why he needs to put himself in his movies, though.

Escalation

I loved The Sixth Sense, and I enjoyed Unbreakable and Signs. But The Village and Lady in the Water were much less good and The Happening was just stupid. (I don’t know how much he is to blame for The Last Airbender as the original was also stupid - see: Speed Racer).

All I know is audiences are actually laughing when his name appears in the trailer. I don’t know if he can rescue his career at this point.

I. . . huh???

It should be noted that Devil is not actually directed by M. Night STFU. He just wrote the story.

You didn’t watch the video, did you?

The original Last Airbender “was also stupid.”

There are words coming out of your mouth, but they’re not making any sense!

No, I thought it was the trailer for his upcoming film. I’ve seen the trailer in the theater and I was reacting to that trailer.

Sadly, it is his writing that is the weak part of many of his recent films.

Yes, the original anime series was a confusing, jumbled mess. And had the usual horrible, limited animation.

It’s, ah… not.

The original wasn’t anime. It was an American television production, although obviously with strong Japanese influences. I’d be interested in reading your views on it in more depth, as I disagree pretty sharply with what you’ve written here. Of course, you are setting yourself up for a dogpile if you do, so I don’t blame you for not wanting to get into it.

Uh, why wouldn’t they be laughing when his names appears in this one?

:confused:

I are whooshed:p I had a feeling it was a parody and then wavered back and forth until I saw the real trailer (which, I think looks kind of good). I started a post thanking the OP for the great laugh and was going to link to the trailer I had watched on IMDB and when I went to the site it was. . . gone:eek:

:smiley:

Wait! There’s a flag on the play.

According to the whooshing rules, any whoosh that requires a poster to click an outside link is not always a whoosh. And any whoosh that requires a poster to watch a video is NEVER a whoosh.

No penalty. Repeat reply.

You’ve mistaken what has happened. They are actually reenacting an obscure Monty Python skit, not having a real discussion about M. Night Shyamalan. So… whoosh.

I saw the trailer when I saw Scott Pilgrim last weekend. The mood in the theater seemed to be “hm, interesting” until his name appeared on the screen.

No laughter, but there was an audible groan of disappointment throughout the theater. Which was then followed by laughter.

Metawhooshing. On the Dope, it was only a matter of time.

I think I heard this joke in a Hamish and Dougal sketch.

How does that change anything? You can’t start an OP with a link to a video and then call “whoosh” when someone doesn’t watch the video. Most people don’t watch the video, so essentially you’re trying to do a rickroll without the “Never Gonna Give You Up”

They should have titled it “Temporarily Stairs: We Apologize for the Convenience”.

This is what my wife said!

An escalator can never be broken!

Um… he’s not the screenwriter. Or the director. He’s the producer.

Link to Wiki article.

Perhaps he did a treatment or a short story or a story board sequence, but he’s not the screenwriter.
