It's Wicker Man good.<BR/><BR/>I, too, don't hate Lady in the Water. Signs is much sloppier. I think Wide Awake is my favorite of his. Rosie O'Ded is my homegirl! BTW, Shayamalan already has his next film financed and set up (a live action version of that Nick cartoon Avatar), and The Happening made more than people expected, so regardless of quality, he'll still get financing. Like Emmerich does. <BR/>-M-Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486245010896323247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15543127.post-13843459743436012592008-06-15T00:00:00.000-05:002008-06-15T00:00:00.000-05:00As I didn't see Lady in the Water, I can only expr...As I didn't see <I>Lady in the Water</I>, I can only express excitement in that it wasn't <I>Signs</I> that you liked.reassurancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129227726045849803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15543127.post-29172867804176878432008-06-14T22:15:00.000-05:002008-06-14T22:15:00.000-05:00Lady in the Water was the only film of his that I ...Lady in the Water was the only film of his that I walked out of the theater liking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15543127.post-16226858877511071292008-06-14T18:03:00.000-05:002008-06-14T18:03:00.000-05:00No offense, Eric, but I'm glad we don't frequent t...No offense, Eric, but I'm glad we don't frequent the same parties. <I>Lady in the Water</I> conversations?

I can't imagine how he could have resolved this scenario without letting me down, but definitely not the way he did it. On the other hand, <I>Lady</I> was just ridiculous right from the conception, and the execution didn't make it any better. The new one sounds just as laughable, thanks for that hilarious link.

I can't remember her performance in the film, but she was decent (or indecent) in Manderlay, and I liked her in Spiderman 3. Maybe she'll be in the remake of Cache =P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15543127.post-53694487692450623522008-06-14T10:11:00.000-05:002008-06-14T10:11:00.000-05:00Oh, Eric, I'm learning so much about you in the pa...Oh, Eric, I'm learning so much about you in the past week.<BR/><BR/>I think you're officially the only person I've heard of that liked <I>Lady in the Water</I>.
