See, it's such a shame, b/c all his ideas are really neat, but he totally fucks them up. The only one that worked was The 6th Sense. The concept of The Happening is reaaaaally creepy and cool, but I just keep hearing about how it's a meandering, useless piece of anger-making crap.
The reason why they don't work (and so I hear) is because he's such a pompous ass in real life. There are tons of horror stories out there about how difficult it is to work with him.
Hehehe....yeah, he says it's b/c the myth of the hollywood auteur is just that - a myth. People want to believe in the singular, strong-willed director, but only in theory. I'm just grossed out about how he puts himself in his movies. He had a major part in Lady in the Water.
The reason they don't work is they have MAJOR PLOT HOLES!!!
Ugh, yeah, I just can't do it now that I've seen the reviews. That's happened to me for the last three movies I wanted to watch: The Happening, You Don't Mess With The Zohan, and that Jack Black ninja panda movie.
