M Night Shyamalan talks Unbreakable sequel

Also, did you know that he ghostwrote She’s All That?

"On ESPN, a lot of times it’s giving your opinion. This is what the daytime SportsCenter and First Take have wrought: the total fetishization of the opinion. Look at how a colleague, daytime SportsCenter anchor Sage Steele, defended him on Twitter—as if merely stating an opinion on television rendered it somehow unimpeachable. What does it matter if it’s no more intellectually or morally defensible than an anti-miscegenationist weighing in on RGIII’s fiancée, or a segregationist debating 42? All that matters is that it’s an opinion, ideally counterpoised against someone else’s opinion."

"That’s a betrayal of the original mission of web publishing. We hated television news because it was totally ratings-driven. It was lowest-common-denominator content, where the intelligence was removed to make things more digestible.

Wait, did Nick Denton just restore my faith in humanity?

This is my animated documentary project.
Over christmas I interviewed my grammy about… well.. lots of things. Mostly her life on PEI. This was one of my favorite stories.
