Great choice Scott! I'm excited for this round. Missed the session last time and kicked myself for it after. It's a shame Shyamalan gets such a bad rap these days (not entirely undeserved, of course... The Last Airbender was an unfortunate mess, which is a shame because the animated series was delightful and certainly COULD have spawned a fine feature if it had been handled correctly). But on the strength of this and Unbreakable, I'm certainly always interested in what he's up to.

That was also one of my thoughts, Jeff. Does The Sixth Sense stand up as a script? Can we see through the haze of what has transpired with M. Night the last decade to give it a fair read?

I've already read twice and need to revisit, so perfect timing. I'll be around for this one. Thanks Scott.

Great choice, I'm in. As for seeing through Night's career and giving it a fair read, pretty sure I can do that. I watched it again a few months ago having not caught it for years and I was surprised by how impressed I was with it - it really is a great movie. And Cole's 'I didn't know you were funny' line has to rank as one of the all-time finest movie putdowns.

Hello, I'm new here and interested in participating. How does it work? Is the analysis done through the comments section? Will we login at a certain time of day? Thanks! I look forward to the discussions

Shafiq, it's pretty simple. You can download the version of the script we'll be analyzing. Read it. Then each day of the week [M-F] beginning January 23, I post something tied to a specific aspect of the script including Plot, Character, Theme, Dialogue. If you want to contribute some thoughts or ideas, go to comments and post away. Or you can simply track the conversation. The posts go live at noon Eastern time (U.S.). I look forward to you joining in the analysis.

Sounds great. Thank you Scott! I look forward to it
