Their goal?  Before Shyamalan starts principal photography on 1000 A.E., obtain enough funds to present him with a check to return to NYU to get the professional help his work so desperately needs.  If they manage to contact him and he refuses, they will start a scholarship in his name to send our future auteurs - the real talents - to NYU.

 

Pretty funny stuff.

Why not...just start a scholarship anyway? What a waste of money if Night accepts.

If you don't like the man's work, fine. Why be such elaborate, spiteful asses about it?

I agree. That's just very creepy schadenfreude.

It's because it's no longer simply about the actual quality of his films.  It's gone beyond that and the creepy schadenfreude has had to step it up to match it.  The guy's name became a brand (with an ego to accompany it) and there was a very clear and steep degradation in quality (or perception of quality) that was undeniable.  It's mean, but I'm not surprised that it's gotten to this point.

Fairly silly, but outright nasty would've been raising money for a one-way ticket to India.
