ric, I don't think this is 'all that hate'. I posted a link to a news article/press release about his book. I found the article to be interesting in a telling way about a pompous filmmaker. I'm not a fan of pompous. Shortly after '6th Sense' came out critics started making comparisons to Hitchcock and M. Night started believing it- and encouraging it. When I read that article it just burned me as its hard enough for talented filmmakers to get funding in Hollywood and to have poor, poor misunderstood man, to whom the studio was willingly to give money albeit with some editorial suggestion (or not even), come out with a tell-all novel to show how put-upon he is... that has nothing to do with filmmaking- that's a bad human being. As I've said in many many other threads- movies, games, comics, etc, etc... all the stuff we geek over... are pure useless crap when held up against just being decent human beings and the stuggles of life on this planet. So when privileged or lucky people whine this loudly it irritates me. If he just made his films, didn't try to make his name more important than his films and let them speak for themselves I wouldn't have even started this thread.

On a day-to-day basis I never think of M. Night at all- until I read that article.

Plus I enjoy bitching. Its fun.

Oh and ADM, if 'Witchdoctor' isn't to your liking, you could always try this one:
