Lady In The Water
Just read a typical "Brilliant! It's a flop!"-type piece on M Night Shyamalan's new film. The last word of this excerpt made me laugh out loud.
"Sinking below the expectations of even the gloomiest box-office pundits, M Night Shyamalan's Lady In The Water made just about $18 million over the weekend in North America. Many had predicted that the film would open with at least $28 million, with some seasoned observers like Gitesh Pandya of Box-office Guru predicting a $33 million gross. Influential trade publication Variety declared that the film sank in Shyamalan's ego. Among the few publications that welcomed the film was The New York Times, which declared that compared to many summer releases, Shyamalan's film was watchable."
There's the quote for the poster, then!
"Watchable" New York Times.
