Lady in the Water Predictions and possible spoilers

[Crothian]

So, any more guesses? How about of the plot or story of the movie?

 

[Klaus]

I predict she holds forth a sword and presents it to some guy named Arthur.

I was gonna say that the twist is that there would be no twist, but i like this one better.

Watery tarts distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.


I predict that I will not see this movie.


And now I have that Robot Chicken thing about Shaymalan stuck in my head.

What a twist!

Well, I just saw LitW. None of you were right, especially not KenM.

Only very briefly. The bedtime story involves a sea nymph who has only a few days to awaken the spirit of a writer whose work will lead to great social change in the future. The various quirky characters who live in the apartment building become involved in protecting the nymph from the monster who seeks her destruction. This monster is not a wolf, not a werewolf, and at no point in time is bidepal. Many of the quirky characters have special roles which are awakened by the sea nymph's presence. LitW is part screwball comedy, part fairy tale, part melodrama, and part monster movie. As always, M. Night's characters are strongly written and richly human. There was more laughter, cheering, and clapping from the standing-room-only audience during this film than during any film I've seen in recent years.

Oh yes! There's also a delightful "bite me" aimed by M. Night at professional film critics worked into LitW's plot, especially at those who think they're better qualified to judge an artist's intentions and metaphors than is the artist himself.

I can't wait. July 21st cannot come soon enough.

 

[Mistwell]

I am really looking forward to this movie.

I'm also tired of people thinking their cool by piling on the bandwagon of bagging on M. Night movies.

This is a gamer boards; we are all cool because of that. No one needs to prove they are cool here like you say.

Yet I would say critics are more than entitled to judge the quality of the finished product, regardless of the artist's intentions. The reading/viewing public is entitled, in turn, to ignore the critics, which they frequently do, but that doesn't imply that professional critics have no value.
