Slate has an interesting defence of M Night Shyamalan today that’s actually worth reading. Not only does it cut the guy a little slack (yes, his last couple of films have sucked rather a lot, but then Hitchcock had his bad streaks, too), it includes some snippets from The Man Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a Fairy Tale, which sounds absolutely hilarious.

I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
