Why does Scorsese insist on being in front of the lens...?

This bothers me about directors who want to be shot themselves. I'm wary of film makers that have that need... seems strange to me.

Shyamalan, Coppola, Scorsese, Eszterhas, all the greats.

What the hell is going on?

I think it's an homage to Hitchcock. Only difference is, Hitchcock didn't try to act. - Vinylized 10:27:25 06/12/07 (0)
Did Shyamalan get up and leave when the waitress broke his concentration and did he pay with his Amex :-)?
Shyamalan, was terrible on screen. Thank God he is gone. - Duilawyer 07:59:08 06/12/07 (4)
I saw hime eating at the Mainline Deli in Narberth, about a month ago. Looked like he had a lot of time on his hands!!
- So you're saying 'The Sixth Sense' wasn't a good movie? - powermatic 22:57:06 06/13/07 (3)
  I thought it was superb, and I mean from a director's standpoint. Acting, script, editing, sound- an excellent film, and yes, it had me fooled up to the end. Four out of five stars.
  - Nah... He's talking about Shyamalan's "acting"... - SF tech 12:17:22 06/14/07 (1)
    Which is very, very BAD! He actually gave himself a major role in "Lady In The Water"... the movie was NOT good, but having to watch M. Night "act" was sheer torture.
    
    I liked The Sixth Sense a lot, but he obviously hit his peak early. He's gone downhill rapidly since then.
    
    Cheers

      Hard to argue. "Unbreakable" had it's moments, but it's been a meandering downward ~~jog~~ sprint from there.
  - Haven't seen it, but it sounds as if "watch it once and it loses its appeal" - Jazz Inmate 11:05:57 06/14/07 (0)
    I did have the misfortune of seeing The Village and it was the worst movie experience of my entire life.
