Well, no. Perhaps not even better than Lady In The Water. But still a classic. What other movie has so completely made me lose the will to live?

m night shyamalan is shit

1. The Happening (2008) (written by) - SHIT
2. Lady in the Water (2006) (written by) - SHIT
3. The Village (2004) (written by) - SHIT
4. Signs (2002) (written by) - SHIT
5. Unbreakable (2000) (written by) - SHIT
6. Stuart Little (1999) (screenplay) - SHIT
7. The Sixth Sense (1999) (written by) - SHIT

Worst thing is he wrote, directed, produced and acted in all of these films. Like, maybe try do one thing well rather than just be shit at everything.
