07.20.06Cinemark Pflugerville sigh... I want to stress that I didn't pay for this. I was planning on illegally downloading it, and maybe even seeding a few CAM copies just to support the theft of monies from M. Night Shyamalan... but a friend conned me into seeing this and offered to buy my ticket if i paid the same amount for his popcorn. Yes there is a difference in that. I gave Devil Wears Prada money but I'll be damned if I give Lady in the Water a red cent.

Anyway, how's the movie? Frustrating. Frustrating because there were a hell of a lot of people there for a thursday midnight screening... Frustrating because they laughed when they were supposed to (in the beginning anyway, they started to turn by the time the film ended). Frustrating because, yet again, there are glimmers (much less this time around) of good ideas, good performances, good work on this movie that are utterly shat upon by Shyamalan's insistence on being a pretty boy rock star Hitchcock reincarnation.

I have to go now... i have some peer to peer sharing to do.
