A shocking realization

Jun 5, 2005

The twist endingth of A Scanner Darkly is reminiscent of nothing so much as the work of ... M. Night Shyamalan.  A question: if he had directed the upcoming movie adaptation instead of Richard Linklater, would the counterfactual adaptation be as bad, better, or worse than the factual promises to be?  I'm guessing "worse" based on Shyamalan's apparent complete absence of a sense of humor.

Shyalaman peaked with Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, although i liked the one before SS, the one with Rosie O'Donnell playing a nun. Signs was terrible.

I read the description of that movie on IMDB, and man, I'd be pretty damn hesitant to watch it.
