: I find it insulting that the only person in the movie who had a passion for comics turned out to be a homicidal maniac, that and Shymalanlongadingdong is merely a one hit wonder, he's two flicks before "The Sixth Sense" were shit, Unbreakable was shit, and I'm sure "M. Night Shymalan's Signs" will be shit, the title already is.

you like him? What about his directing style?
And hey, for what its worth, which was last estimated at about .0000001% of a dollar, I like his drecting. I especially though Wide Awake was an incredibly well done film. No other films treat children as being that equal. No one ever shows children being afraid of real things.
Of course, like I said, its just my opinion. I was just wondering what yours was based on. Not criticizing, but what don't you like about his films?
