"Lady in the Water" - guess the twist.

[democracyindanger]

Obviously, there's going to be some big surprise "twist" because that's his shtick. So what's your guess?

Mine: It's not water. IT'S VODKA!!!!!1!!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. She lives in the desert.

What a twist!

[everythingsxen]

2. Here is my guess...

The trailers shows cute/nice ppl and monsters.. the schtick is that the monsters and nice ppl are both the same.

[Frank Cannon]

4. BINGO! You hit it.

I think it's pretty obvious from M. Night Shyamalamadingdong's previous efforts that the wolves/monsters are the good guys saving everyone from the evil woman at the bottom of the pool.

(Oops. I guess I should have put a spoiler warning in this.)

[bbernardini]

3. A friend of mine is in this as an extra.

It's not enough to make me go see his crap, but good for her, nonetheless.

[Placebo]

5. I hate M. Night's stupid twists.

All of his movies are so boring and have this fixed equation.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Is she distributin' swords?

:bounce:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I hope not...

I don't want ANY system of government based around a character from an M. Night Shyamalan film.

[Reciprocity]

11. Too right you are!

Strange women, lyin' in ponds, distributin' swords, is no basis for a system of government.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Right!

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

[Reciprocity]

15. I don't want to talk to you no more,

you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Is there someone else up there we could talk to?

[Reciprocity]

18. No, now go away before I taunt you a second time.

[GoneOffShore]

7. I see stupid people

They're everywhere, walking around seeing bad movies, and they don't even realize they're bad.

[everythingsxen]

8. Let me just say about M. Night though....

Unbreakable was badass.

[peekaloo]

16. I liked that film, too.

The only film he's made that surprised me. :-)

[everythingsxen]

19. Well for me (SPOILERS!! about Unbreakable)

The suprise wasn't "the big twist" of Mr. Glass being the villain, but rather it was my overall suprise at the entire film being a modern day, nitty-gritty, real world superhero film. That just totally blew my mind.

[Arkham House]

10. I guessed the endings of "Sixth Sense" and "The Village" halfway thru--

--both films...and that didn't detract from my enjoyment of either film, both of which I like a lot. In fact, seeing the craft and expertise he uses to create the world of the film, and how logical the ending is when it comes, is part of the fun for me... And I agree, "Unbreakable" kicked ass. "Signs", for the most part, didn't, and had a very weak ending, I thought... I'm looking forward to "Lady in the Water"...

[Deja Q]

13. Lady with a shtick? Yeah, "guy" would be an apposite epithet!

:D

[Dark]

14. The twist? It turns out to be a good movie.

Considering his recent work, that would be a surprise ending.

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. She and Oprah are not lesbians.

[Arugula Latte]

21. That's no Lady ... (It's kinda like The Crying Game)

:o

[Zomby Woof]

22. I was hoping it's formaldehyde

Because that is the only appropriate substance in which to store the stillborn "creativity" of the biggest hack to ever come out of Hollywood since... no wait, Schmuckmyalan IS the biggest hack to ever come out of Hollywood - no small feat. He is an utterly pretentious and whiny bore. Kudos to the original producers of the film knowing a dog when they see one, and alienating him by the novel concept of being honest about his crap, I mean craft. It provided good fodder for the most whiny, sanctimonious, and narcissistic "memoir" since Pete Rose coughed one up a while back.

30 minutes into "The Sixth Sense", I had both the original and OTHER 'twist' of that and his other films figured out: They're the product of a writer's worst conceit - that he is smarter than his audience.

I am rooting for a big flop.

23. My thought, on the twist...

When I first heard Lady in the Water, I immediately thought, of the lady in lake, aka Excalibur/King Arthur legends. So, I am inclined to think, the movie is going to include, a wide array of mythological creatures, persona's. Aka Grendal, werewolves, things of that nature...:)
