Movies M Night Shyamalan's daughter is every bit the hack her father is

[subtlySteve]

Well the movie bombed and has pretty universally bad reviews.

And the issue with this particular movie isn't that it's bad. It's that it's utterly pathetic to make a movie that is literally a carbon copy of your dad's movies.

That's not art. It's anti-art.

You know, thinking your opinion is the final word is like standing in a hurricane with a weather vane and calling yourself the North Star.

Sure, you might think it’s a bad movie, maybe a knockoff of her dad’s flick...which, let’s not forget, is based on a book that might not be winning any awards either.

But again, that’s just your take.

Art is a conversation, a dialogue between the artist and the audience.

Whether you hate it or love it, you’re still talking about it, and that means it’s doing its job.

Edit: I absolutely relish it when people resort to laugh emojis instead of offering a thoughtful response. It’s always a joy to see them use these dismissive tactics, clearly revealing their inability to come up with an intelligent counterargument.

I take this as a silent concession to my point.

@lsa is a huge fan of M. Night Shyamalan, huge fan.

On a side note... @lsa and I are going to get matching ass tattoos some day in the future.

It's going to be a motivational quote that says:

"I am a little potato and I believe you can do anything.", but in Swedish.

Jag är en liten potatis och jag tror att du kan göra vad som helst.

We still have to discuss exact placement and the font.

I can't wait!

The Visit had its moments. Granny was scary.

M. Night has had a few bad movies, but overall I appreciate his body of work. At the very least - he's original.

Signs, Six Sense, Split, Unbreakable, the Visit were all solid. Hell, I didn't even mind the Village and dare I say the Happenining (fun dumb movie).

I have heard though the Watchers was really really bad.

This is very true and I look forward to it.

I don't think M Kinght is a hack, that to me would be a work to order kind of director. He does clearly have a very individual style to his work, its just he ran out of steam pretty quickly and has ended up doing diminishing returns on the same kind of thing for 20+ years.

Well he did try to change things up but people hated it.

Trap is getting very positive reviews, M Night always seems to have a random hit and then falls back into old habits. Excited to see Trap though.

Kathleen Kennedy just hired her to write & direct the next Star Wars show.

That's so plausible I can't even tell if this is humor or not.

2/3rds of this movie were ok. It definitely felt like one of his movies. Didnt care for the ending so shes got a lot in common with her dad.

But didn't you know? All movies must have twist ending!

Never heard of him. Was his debut film also given a wide release just because of who his dad is?

his second & third films had wide releases. they are both good movies (Possessor is great), & he very much follows in the footsteps of his father, so i don’t think it’s fair to criticize Ishana Night Shyamalan for doing the same.

 

[llperez22]

movie wasnt very good, but not as bad as ts is saying. I thought it was worth a watch but i also wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

his second & third films had wide releases.

So 'No' then.

 

[mozfonky]

he made a couple really good movies, does anyone really think he's a hack? I didn't like the Village and just stopped watching his films after that though, that was bullshit.

 

[llperez22]

M night”s worst movie to me is probably Old. I left the theatre thinking that was utter crap

 

[mozfonky]

Also, wonder what sort of reviews it'll get. I know that Sofia Coppola's very dull movie on Priscilla got great reviews but I thought it was lifeless., especially compared to Baz's Elvis.
