It's Ok to laugh at M. Night's Escalation

Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Thursday, August 26, 2010

Audiences in movie theaters that have watched the opening to Universal's Devil trailer had an unexpected reaction when the block of text came up with "From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan" on the screen...they laughed at the screen. That's not a good reaction if you're selling a scary movie.

Maybe Night's not as much of a primadonna as we once thought. He's just shown that he's capable of making fun of the premise of Devil -- about five people stranded inside a stuck elevation, with one of them not what he or she appears to be -- with this faux trailer for Escalation. What happens when three people are stranded on a stuck escalator? Bad stuff, man.

Check it out. Universal might want to ask Paramount, MTV's owner and the creator of this video, if they can run it in front of the Devil trailer. It might dampen the haw-haws.

When unintentionally funny filmmakers try to be funny, it falls flat.

Not sure why Wiseau is calling his obvious office comedy The Neighbors.  

I suppose it's not all that clear why he called his first movie The Room, either.

I like the part where Shyamalan has become a joke and has to pretend that he's cool with that.

This reminds me of an SNL skit from when I was a kid.  It's still kind of funny, though what's funnier is what Jack said.

Every M Night trailer/movie should be accompanied by a Robot Chicken skit making fun of an M Night movie with M Night turning to the camera and saying "What a twist!"

I'd like to add that it's also okay to laugh at M. Night's descent.
