The question was long, but sums up the thoughts of a lot of people.

A reporter at a Mexico City press conference for The Last Airbender asked, “You had a strong start of your career with The 6th Sense.  Your movies have always been very personal.  However, the audience has lost faith in your work with Lady in the Water and many of your more recent productions.  Airbender feels like you want to captivate the audience again by becoming more commercial, am I right?”

What a perfect way to phrase things Ms. Unknown Reporter!  Surely the great and powerful Shyamalan will answer you kindly for your astute observation!

“I think if I thought like you I’d kill myself.  Everything you said is the opposite of my instinct as an artist.

 The way you just thought, I literally would kill myself,” said the director at the start of his three minute long answer he throws at this reporter.

Umm… what?

Watching Jackson Rathbone’s face through the proceedings is hilarious despite the awful words being said.  He goes from thinking it’s a joke to becoming more and more horrified by the second.  He finally interjects, not looking pleased to do so, but stops the ire of Shyamalan finally.

To be completely honest I can’t decide whether this video is hilarious in Shyamalan’s blindness of his own career or whether it’s horrifying that a grown man would talk this way on camera to another human being.

Watch the video below and decide for yourself.
