[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 1689163, member: 4049"] I don't think it's silly. I think you're being silly with this asinine example, though. :) [i]Showgirls[/i] was weak through and through. Acting, plotting, pacing... And this is an attitude across almost all markets. With Shyamalan's movies, I've noticed with each film since [i]Sixth Sense[/i] attitudes regarding his films have deteriorated because so many are [i]not[/i] paying attention to the story, but to the twist and to the implications offered by trailers and previews. Like what? Do they have to be real monsters for the point of the film to be conveyed? Is that what you're interested in? Be more specific. How was there not a story? Okay, here I can agree with you... Although perhaps for different reasons. My major gripe with this film, as I said earlier, is that he cops out. These people really didn't seem to learn squat in this film and that would have been the compelling ending needed to make this a very good movie IMO. [/QUOTE]
