Then more time was spent putting together a "first draft" cut that was probably 8 hours long. THEN more time was spent editing the movie down to a commercial run-time. All thru this process truck loads of money were being driven to the public dump. Thanks for the comments!

They must've bought that building with the swimming pool. Hell, they could've given me $50, and I would've read the script and rejected it for the studio. $75 MILLION???

I loved SIGNS, I really did. Liked SIXTH SENSE. But haven't seen M. Night do anything close to that level of work since. THE VILLAGE was as predictable as you can get. LADY IN THE WATER caught my curiosity but when all the characters were suddenly revealed as not being whom they were thought to be, I just started laughing. Out loud. Well, DUH...or in this case, DUD. Throw in THE HAPPENING, and well... I see dead careers all around me... Fair and accurate review. I loved SIGNS, I really did. Liked SIXTH SENSE. But haven’t seen M.

Thinking about "Lady"s price tag, it would be fascinating to see a record of how it was all spent. You and me both!
