No, I understand. But it was clear he was trying.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Deni understood my ability to use words, hopefully you too will be able to succeed in such a way.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So how many times exactly are you going to spam up the thread? You already said "what Deni said."

Whether or not he was "successful" (he wasn't) or whether or not you can intentionally create a B-movie (you can't), it's clear that he tried. Which is his major flaw when it comes to the "best B movie of all time" argument Shyamalan tried to make.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And you keep replying to it because...?

Also - is this thread really worth saving to begin with? You went at it with that other dumbass for *an entire page* before accusing me of spaming in *one post*.

FELIPE NO

I would argue M Night's biggest flaw in claiming to have made the greatest anything is that to make the greatest, one must first be, you know, good at something.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This film was completely awful; I totally agree that M Night tried to craft a normal film but ended up creating a pile of shit and in turn used "IT'Z A B-MOVIE" to justify why it so awful. Now, the movie started out decent, even incorporating some nice metaphors. The problem is when these events start to happen to the main characters everything falls apart.

The biggest problems with this film are it portrays itself as a movie with something to say but becomes so flawed that you don't really care any more. If M Night was setting out to create a "B-Movie" I highly doubt he would have started it out with a somewhat intelligent setup (many references to Bee's, character conflicts that seem like they could contribute to the story overall and genuine weirdness that kept you interested). However, as the film progressed it was like M Night was at a loss of what to do and in turn you have the pile of shit your seeing now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
