The man has got the cojones to think originally and make movies that no one else could, or would. Golden Boy status-worthy or not, I applaud Shyamalan and his latest movie.

This man imbues his films, however flawed, with passion, something lacking in most big-budget summer blockbusters. Cronus and the Omphalos stone, Athenian red-figure pelike C5th B.C., Metropolitan Museum of Art KRONOS (Cronus) was the King of the Titanes and the god of time, in particular time when viewed as a destructive, all-devouring force. And you know what? Nonetheless, I was enthralled. Were there mistakes in the plot, character development, editing? Yeah. They also have in common uncommon storytelling, fantastic mood, appropriately chilling scores, and engender a sense of unease in the viewer that almost no other filmmaker has been capable of.

Under that theory, its possible that Jmon Sugi is the oldest tree in the world. Say what you will about this guy, his movies are DIFFERENT. The tree dates to at least 2,000 years old, but some experts believe it could be older than 3,000 years old. Seems Hollywood's former golden boy earns nothing but disgust and disdain nowadays.
