No Lady Thriller

Okay, admittedly, I'm a huge Shyamalan fan. Just wanted to set the record straight, since he seems to be such a divisive one to the extent you either love 'im or hate 'im.

No spoilers here, but definitely something new:

Lady in the Water: M. Night Shyamalan dreams up an otherworldly water nymph (Bryce Dallas Howard) who's discovered in the swimming pool of an apartment complex by its superintendent (Paul Giamatti). This is reportedly the first Shyamalan not meant to scare. Could be magic. Nagging question: What's Shyamalan without a twist?

Of course, this leaves me wondering who is more correct?

In any case, I've never relied on surprise ending. With his films, I love them regardless of how well he dupes me. I just happen to think he's brilliant. It's the morality, artistry, and spirit of his work. It deserves a more thorough entry sometime.
