Someone hates M. Night Shyamalan and/or his movies so much that they invested good money to design a website dedicated to it. The idea is to raise $150K, then present Shyamalan with the check while filming it. If he doesn’t accept it then they will pool the money and send a ‘budding Tarantino to NYU.’

Let’s get this much out of the way: no one sets out to make a bad film OK? No filmmaker wants to spend years writing a script, raising money, chasing agents and actors, hiring equipment and crew, spend months on post production…..all just so they can make a bad movie. All filmmakers set out to make a good film. Along the way a million factors affect the process and things may not turn out so well.

People have a choice not to watch a film. Or if they do and hate it so much, they’re certainly welcome to trash it. But no self respecting filmmaker should want a film school education from money raised by trashing and publicly humiliating a fellow filmmaker. It’s really as simple as that.
