I’m sure he’s not as egotistical as he sounds in print and yeah, everyone gives him a hard time, including us (though I met an editor of his once who didn’t have the nicest things to say about his ego, i digress), but you’re right, it doesn’t excuse those films regardless. Also? I will send you $100 in the mail if I genuinely like “The Happening.”

I’ve interviewed Shyamalan twice and he’s a really nice guy, not as moany as some articles make him out to be. He really, really believes in what he does. I know some of his movies are pretty lame (but some are pretty good too) but I still found it refreshing that with so many hack directors around whose movies all look the same, someone who essentially specialises in commercial, popcorn movies still has so much passion in what he’s doing. And his movies are completely distinctive to him. I realise that doesn’t excuse Lady In The Water and The Village, but it does make me root for the guy that The Happening will actually be good.
