sorry, not trying to nitpick you, man. i think it is easy for those of us who are wrapped up in the cinematic world to forget how little awareness there is of a lot of the details among the "general public", and while a guy like M. Night is in the forefront of our consciousness of American directors working today i think his name is not nearly as recognizable as his movies, like "The 6th Sense", among joe public.
i know that there are many times i am brought up against the realization of just how immersed i am in all things movies when i am talking to a family member or teacher at a school where i am subbing and i bring up a movie/director/actor/etc. in a matter-of-fact way, as if EVERYBODY knows that, and receive a blank stare in return. then again, it could be worse, i could say "IPAMPLASH" when somebody in the teacher's lounge says something really funny.
