man overboard

give me back my bottle of Pinot, biatch!


from our favorite rottentomatoes.com:

"Shyamalan's most alienating and self-absorbed project to date."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Hollywood cannot pollute the ozone with anything more idiotic, contrived, amateurish or sub-mental than Lady in the Water."
-- Rex Reed, NEW YORK OBSERVER

"Shyamalan is mystically assuming that any idea or image that pops into his skull will make a shapely tale, no matter how much cock-and-bull logic he has to invent to Gorilla Glue it together."
-- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE

"I hated Lady in the Water, but not because Shyamalan took a sophomoric potshot at critics. I hated Lady in the Water because it's...stupid."
-- Peter Canavese, GROUCHO REVIEWS

"M. Night's self-absorption is approaching the level of irritation - here it has all the subtlety of a brick applied to the head."
-- David Foucher, EDGE BOSTON

"... Lady in the Water doesn't have even The Village's slim virtues."
-- Andy Klein, LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT


holy crap. 4 films after The Sixth Sense and he's sinking fast like a mobster in a barrel of cement. Disney's probably gloating, while Warner Bros doesn't care as long as it makes more than $114M.

and if you'll believe this ... (a bit long but interesting)
