Everyone’s favourite boner killer, M. Night Shyamalan, spoke on Sunday at New York Comic Con, and Cinematical has a top ten list of choice quotes. Here is my personal favourite, which involves the director/producer/writer/dickwad’s thoughts on DVD commentaries:
I don’t do them – they feel like gynecological exams.
Obviously, the dude intends to deliver some shock-and-awe to qualify the invasive nature that he perceives would rightfully desribe such DVD extras. However, I feel quite strongly that no man could ever realize just how horrid an experience it really is to be put in stirrups and have cold metal instruments jammed up one’s vagina. Nothing personal, but you guys just have no fucking idea what the experience is like. Conceivably, y’all can grow moobs in order to delight within the mammogram process, but there’s just no fucking way that male use of a gynecological metaphor could ever reach justification status. Now, why didn’t Shyamalan just speak in terms of a prostate exam? Because he’s a pompous, self-aggrandizing prick who thinks that he knows everything, that’s why. Long live the Shyamalan Groan.

Maybe he avoids making commentary tracks because even he can’t stand sitting through his films again …

Maybe he meant it felt like performing them, not receiving them. In which case, ew.

If he tried to do commentary, he’d probably be scared that everyone would realize he didn’t write the movie. Then things would get really awkward. The only thing “From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan” is the sound of a cold, lonely wind whooshing from ear to ear. Echooo
