lady in the water

(don't worry i won't give any details of the movie)

so amy and i just experienced m. night shyamalan's new movie the lady in the water . it was fantabulicious. shyamalan continues to solidify his place as a great american story teller.

but the moment of the night came after the movie had ended. we were sitting in our seats at the end of the film, taking things in and getting our heads around everything, when a person in the group that had been sitting behind us goes, "that was the dumbest movie i've ever seen." aim and i just looked at each other and smiled. one person in the group (who was talking on her mobile phone) turned to a friend and said, "we should head back to my house and finish watching team america." (for real life) there you go. apparently a thought-provoking script, character development, suspense without gore, and the stuff of good story telling can't compete with dancing, swearing, violent puppets.

i know it's not polite to actually laugh at people... but that was just too funny to let pass. i have to confess, laugh we did... and it felt really good.
