3. Who's Dhani Jones?

:shrug: I watch TDS primarily for Jon's rapier political wit; a good guest is a plus!

4. I have no idea who Dhandi Jones is.......

on TDS - I've been getting into his political guests lately - it seems to me it's one of the only outlets left for any one to tell some shred of truth. I do like M. Night though - I still get shivers over The Sixth Sense.

2. Like his stuff.

Although I did *not* see "Signs". I can't stand Mel Gibson and I think crop circles are lame, lame, lame.

"Sixth Sense" was wonderful. "Unbreakable" was okay--it actually grows on ya on subsequent viewings. The Village was good and very well acted, although I had figured out the catch before it was revealed in the movie.

I want to see this summer's opus. I think that Shyamalan has awesome potential.

5. Just weighing in...

"Signs" was the first of Shyamalan's films that I saw, the only one I saw in a theater, and the only one that I disliked---a bad first impression.
I subsequently caught "The Village" and "Sixth Sense" on DVD and liked them so much I gave "Signs" another try (on the small screen.)
On second viewing I was more focussed, I guess, and caught many more details I'd missed at the theater or forgotten since. I got into it, and appreciate more Mr Shyamalan's use of accumulated tension and suspense.
Anyway, that's my take on "Signs" and for what it's worth I'm not a Mel Gibson fan but I thought he did well in this.
Enjoy "Lady of the Water." I am also looking forward to seeing it.
