Village idiocy: M. Night's Oscar senselessness
Who would click through an AmEx website link to "find out more about M. Night Shyamalan"? I'd missed the Oscar commercials, yet Shyamalan's jaw-dropping self-regard 
makes this drip of ego some kind Visine-worthy classic. Sitting in a restaurant, Manoj's "table for one" gives him a chance to imagine everyone around him is a skinhead or a foul creature while his beautiful mind confects $10 million paydays. The only laugh line (surely not intentional)? His waitress telling him how much she loved The Village... Where's Catherine Keener when you need her? "You paid her to say that, didn't you?"

The self importance and ego trip is getting comical from M Night.
He better watch himself before the press sharpens its knives and cuts him down to size.
