lightcastleLast thought from Scott Pilgrim. No spoilers.
During the previews, a film about people trapped on an elevator, but one of them may be some kind of supernatural beast, came on. Whatever, could be ok, seemed to be the crowd reaction.
Then in the middle of the trailer, the writer/director's name was revealed.
M. Night Shyamalan.
The crowd burst out laughing. Pixie assures me this has happened every time she's seen that preview. He's become a punchline, the crowd immediately tuning out a potential horror flick based on his name alone.
Amazing.
