Night and day-and-date: Shyamalan sees dead grosses
Manoj Shyamalan has a twist beginning to foreshortening the theatrical and DVD release windows at the Showeast trade show on Disney's Orlando home turn: "It's greed... It's heartless and soulless and disrespectful. And of course, cable companies are behind it, and Internet companies. They need their product. But they have to wait their turn. Wait for the thing to finish its life.... If you inspire audiences, theaters will be packed," M. Night told Daily Variety. "That's when the collective soul is talking. Great movies connect everybody. That's when humanity grows. What is art? Conveying that we are not alone."
Movies are the definitive art form of our lives...We have been seduced by the DVD and what will sell the DVD. It has been the worst year in cinema for quality." The Reeler has a few barks of snark about M. Night's own bouts of re-DVDism.
