Several extremely creepy and melancholy moments. The video snippet from Brazil (??) was a great touch. As were his dying wife's final words about swinging away. That scene with her was very Stephen Kingish.

Thumbs up on that one and 6th Sense. The rest of his ouvre is from bad to laughably bad. Hopefully he's got a good one or two left in him.

Dear God, please let the current boom last.
I promise that I won't piss it away trying to corner the silver market or buying department stores like I did the last one

I never understood why it got panned so badly...the Gibson Effect maybe. I though a lot more could have done with the lost faith - redemption aspect of Gibson's character. Am I the only person who saw the water as a statement on baptism?

I think Signs is actually his best film to date, all things considered. Sixth Sense hangs almost completely on the big u-turn it takes at the end; nothing else about it was notable IMO. "The Village" was lame, but I couldn't believe how really bad "Lady in the Water" was.

As the guy who jumped off the 20-story building shouted as he passed the 10th Floor "So far..so good!"
