Lady In The Water

I wonder if anyone's just given up on an episode of The Twilight Zone because it gets to a silly point just too far beyond belief. I read a review in the paper today that said M. Night doesn't know how to tell a story. The reviewer proceeds to go on about how the plot of a

FANTASY MOVIE

was ridiculous. Not about how the movie was paced or the dialogue. But that there was indeed a lady in the water in Lady in the Water. He described the gist of the movie while suppling the captions "(I'm not making this up)." He liked the acting (except for M Night's cameo). He liked the look of the film. What got him was the believability.

I've found that his movies always have a dorky, yet endearing, sense of humor to them. In the more serious moments, he's not so pretentious as to think he's profound, but he has normal people using simple words to do the best that they can do. I think he can tell a story quite well and in a unique way. I think that he is a standout director. Not a single one of his movies has felt like a stock effort. I really don't get what everyone's problem with him seems to be.

I do really hate that American Express ad with him in it, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
