watched trap, its dogshit imo, going to blur spoilers but so much dumb shit
him convincing singer girl to take them out of stadium on limo
them going to his house
i could live with that stuff but then singer girl gets on live stream to try to get her fans to find the house with the victim in it and they do it inside of 2 mins
Whole ass swat team shows up but somehow he gets one alone as they are surrounding the house and changes into guys clothes and drives the singer away
Singer easily gets away from him by ripping off the door handle inside the limousine super easy, heās in the limo with a huge crowd somehow gets changed in the limo and gets out of it without anyone noticing he got out of it?
Then turns out that his wife thought he was the killer and planted the ticket at the house as a way to set him up? Instead of just telling the cops? What the fuck
I assure you that some of us really did what the rest of society was obligated to do by permanently shutting off the Shyamalan faucet after Lady in the Water.
You missed out on the good movies he has made since then though. He has made some real stinkers, sure, but stuff like Split and Wayward Pines are fantastic. I keep showing up because you never know if heāll swing hard and miss or hit a home run.
Probabilistic movie-watching decisions are all we have, and I know my probabilities with Shyamalan. Even as someone who is clearly willing to torch a significant amount of time on movie-watching, I canāt very well go around watching Leprechaun 8 on the basis that maybe Iām wrong.
I sort of agree because I did feel like an absolute fool while I sat through Lady in the Water. I knew in my heart that he had already given off really strong tells of potentially having been a fish on a heater early on. But his resume was not nearly as checkered before that point, so Iām inclined to forgive myself for that error.
I was not super anxious to watch this one. Iām frequently bored by war movies, which includes the 2022 remake of this film that I found to be an absolute chore to get through. Thankfully this was a better experience. 1930 cinema had real ānew baby deer finding its ability to stand upā energy as the industry fully transitioned into talkies, but you donāt really feel that with this one. It won Best Picture, it set the standard for all future films that set out to portray the horrors of war, and itās easy to see why it gained the accolades that it did (including probably the best accolade: censorship by Nazi Germany). Even in the absence of a score, the sound design really works, and was a crucial part of what made the movie go.
There are boring sequences - again, Iām a tough audience for these things - and those put a ceiling on how high of a grade I can give it. But there are also sequences I was really into, and it bought a fair amount of good will from me by delivering an excellent ending.

Cāmon nowā¦he did some script rewrites. You made me go check this on IMDB because I thought I was going crazy when you presented this list like his filmography lol
Iāll be that guy if I was going to tell someone to watch a movie from every decade Iād just say 7 samurai, 2001, star wars, raiders, the matrix and the prestige.
