I came across this article from earlier in the month as i was looking to cop that sixth sense bluray upgrade since the DVD's gone missing


Pretty good article, thought it kind of disregards Nolan's "Memento"

I still love shyamalans first 3 movies. (6th sense, Unbreakable, Signs)

Yes the twist in Signs was kind of silly but did not ruin my enjoyment of the film.

I haven't seen Unbreakable in ages, so I'm not sure how it holds up. But I really enjoyed it in theatres and the old DVD.

Sixth sense would def make my top 10 thrillers ever, and there were a lot of articles about the 15th anniversary of Sixth Sense ..and i'm still gonna make that thread @MartyMcFly

We all know he's a joke now and fell off like Olajuwon on the raptors, but how we feeling about these flicks 10-15 years later brehs?

Unbreakable and Signs both hold up really well to me. And to be real I've never seen sixth sense and before you hit me with the :ohhh: Lemme explain: it wasn't something I was interested in at 13 but the next year when it was out on video I'd already heard the ending and heard so much about it I didn't feel the need to see it. I know I need to one day tho just because. In fact I may do that tonight breh

I've seen a film @MartyMcFly hasn't :ohhh: *world explodes*

I liked all Midnights early films (edit: I'm talking from sixth sense to the village). I even liked the village probably more than most. It's a shame how badly he fell off.

The only incredibly great film that M. Night has ever done is Unbreakable...its a very deep, multifaceted film that deals with working class issues that are prevalent throughout history and today...I absolutely love that film and will defend it as one of the greatest, most original films to come out in the 1990s...

With that being said, Signs is the most entertaining and is full of just fun fukkery....

Every other movie that M. Night has done has been a failure (everything) or overrated (Sixth sense);

No matter how awful his filmography is, M. Night will always have Unbreakable which will continue to age gracefully

I thought signs was overrated, I wasn't impressed with any of it.. I didn't care for in breakable cuz I thought it was going to be something different, that'sy fault so I will give him that one.. Sixth sense was real good on first watch but after that I never felt the need to see it again..

:pacspit: the rest of his catalogue ... He must be good friends with some studio execs or fukking them

I only watch his movies to laugh at how wack the plot, writing, and acting is.

"Cheese and crackers" :mjlol:
