To Mr. Night Shyamalan

When Shyamalan made Signs, some magazine (Was it Time?) said the next Spielberg has arrived. Signs was a stupid enough movie and he was called the next Spielberg. Whoever said that, yeah he delivers "The Happening" now. If you had no problem with Signs (as stupid a movie as it was), why would you have a problem with this one?

Anyway, why is not there a phenomenon (like vegetation forcing you to kill yourself) that kills your appetite to write inane stories (So that I would not need to be writing this either). I too have several ideas. But an idea is not a story. Idea is not a plot. Idea cannot be a movie. Night knows it. At least he knew it when he made Sixth Sense. Somewhere along the line he may have forgotten. Shyamalan, you can do it. We cannot help. If you cannot write, please stick to directing. I may even have a better story than most of your own.
