Such rank self-insertion! Why, I never knew
That the "M" in "M. Night" is short for "Mary Sue."

Maybe it was that I was prepared for it, but that particular casting choice bothered me much less than it did most of the critics. Although I would have savaged that plot if it came across my desk as a novel, I found the whole thing kind of charming. It's sort of like the story a bunch of kids making a movie with tape recorders and Dad's super8 camera would come up with...

You're right, the film really did play like a rainy-day imagination game. If things could have stayed at that, I'd have really enjoyed it, but my eyes rolled too far in the back of my head when Mary Sue came out to play (many apologies, plumtreeblossom) and I couldn't get 'em to roll back to normal.

And when I come out to play, expect the worst.

When Mary Sue comes out to play, she often leaves her shoes behind!

Does Mary Sue wear Mary Janes?

I hope you wrote this with the intent of pointing out that it's how Mr. M. started his love of storytelling and filmmaking. Seriously. Him and some friends making movies with Dad's Super8.

FWIW.
