Can't M Night Just Be Really Good at 1 thing instead of crappy at 5


What I mean is he wants to be everything. Producer, director, writer, actor and editor. He should just cocos on directing his own films. He desperately needs to allow other screenwriters help him with dialogue. His editing gets too jumbled as I think he has all these visions for his movies and they end up a hot mess but a hot mess that had loads of potential. In The Happening, people being forced to commit suicide is terrifying, but plants telling you to do it...whomp whomp.

His acting in Lady in the Water and him portraying a writer who will change the world and be assassinated. I think they used that word like he was the new MLK. I couldn't take how self important he must feel in real life.

I think he has talent. He's not a hack. But I think he thinks he has untouchable talent and that's just not true. He did this movie on the cheap so he could regain all artistic control it said in the trivia. Apparently the last couple of films he did they took them away at the end because they probably didn't make any damn sense. Be a director and write treatments, but for the love of baby Jesus, let other people help.

Oh, did anyone think the guy in the town was going to be M. Night's cameo? I totally did.
