I thought some of the posters on this blog might get a kick out of this documentary made about M. Night Shyalaman director of the upcoming film The Village. Sci-Fi is hyping the “fact” that they were denied access after they discovered a secret Shyalaman did not want them to find. But beware, Skiffy is well know for airing mockumentaries and crockumentaries.
Godless comments:
Big ups to my man Shyalaman. By the way, does anyone know whether a big deal was made about the fact that early Hollywood moguls were also ethnic minorities? Clearly it is taboo to even mention said ethnic representation today, but the extent to which “visible minorities” turn on the human pattern recognition system is interesting. Textual identifiers (i.e. the last names like Kahn) are far less obvious.
Update from Scott
Does anyone want to hazard a guess of what the Big Secret of this film is (The Village, not the documentary on M. Night)? My guess is in the extended entry for those who don’t want spoilers.
The most probable theory I have heard is that this late 19th century-style village is unknowingly set in a wilderness in our time, and that the “monsters” are simply construction crews who demolish anything marked with red paint. Ideas?
