Quoted from Scar Tissue Films 3. Sensitivity to criticism. Lady in the Water featured an absurd critic who got his come-uppance. It was like he was signing his own suicide note...embarrassing. You could almost hear the sluurp as he disappeared up his own back-side.

The best example I can think of, of a fantastic idea gone terribly wrong.

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films Signs was a good film, but the plot-holes in the story (advanced aliens who are aware they are vulnerable to water, yet don't protect themselves...too silly for words)could surely have been discovered with a few more re-writes.

Don't forget that this film is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest plot device:  Mel Gibson's daughter leaving all those half-filled glasses of water around the house.

Tangent thought: the daughter was played by Abigail Breslin who, IMHO, is the best under-eighteen actor/actress out there.
