A director best known for one great movie and a series of crappy ones who, for some unknown reason, keeps getting big budget movies made.
Although I was hoping for another Sixth Sense, M. Night Charlatan's latest movie, just like the last, blew chunks.

Cataclysmic Charlatan Syndrome (CCS): A psychological condition characterised by an intense and persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, despite evidence of competence and success. Individuals with CCS experience an extreme level of self-doubt, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy in their professional and personal lives, often leading to severe impacts on their mental well-being and self-esteem.
Examples;

A highly accomplished scientist with numerous publications and accolades refuses to speak at conferences or accept awards, self sabotages results and refuses to complete projects fearing that others will discover they are not as knowledgeable or talented as they appear.

A successful entrepreneur constantly questions their ability to lead, despite having built a thriving business from scratch, avoiding networking events or business progression for fear of being 'found out'

Cataclysmic Charlatan syndrome (CCs) in an extreme, long term version of imposter syndrome. This term captures the overwhelming and debilitating nature of this condition, setting it apart from traditional imposter syndrome.

Tales of a Grifter - (MMTCD) The Charlatan Duchess, is a secret Facebook group that launched a worldwide phenomenon in January 2018. The group was the brainchild of an unnamed woman in the United Kingdom, who provides a safe place for people who oppose the marriage of Meghan Markle and Prince Henry of Wales. Starting out as a public cyber gathering place for like-minds, it soon became evident that the group was going to undertake subject matter that would trigger rhetoric from both Markle supporters and detractors. Members bring forth readily available articles/information from the Internet gathering to privately discuss their views. The group is responsible for creating the hashtag #TheCharlatanDuchess and pushing the hashtag #Megxit. Over the past year and a half, the group has been featured in a number of digital media publications from all over the world. The Charlatan Duchess brand (TM), boasts thousands of members on their varied social media platforms. The "Grifter" part in the name of the group makes reference to Markle's questionable past and the present spending habits on the backs of the British taxpayers.
It's difficult to join the secret group that falls under the Facebook group, Tales of a Grifter - The Charlatan Duchess without being scrutinised and vetted by the Administrators.

Yes. The Charlatan who doesn't actually believe in God has finally decided to chime in to invoke tha name of a God he doesn't actually believe in to lecture Muslims about how they need to be weary of people who claim to believe in God but don't. So, people like him. $80,000 a month he takes from the religious but he can't give a straight answer to the question "Do you believe in God?" A literal psychopath and ideologue by his own definition come to warn you of the evil psychopaths.
Hym "Ha! A charlatan WOULD know how easily manipulable the religious are, wouldn't he? And then he claims that the Palestinians who live in the literal surveillance state the he himself has been decrying for years are better off than the would be living in Gaza. So you should all just accept your subservience to the Jews in the name of 'peace.' 'Peace' meaning the Orwellian hell he purports to fight against. He isn't 'Pro-Muslim.' He's 'Pro-Having control over the religious so he can protect himself from the "Dark Tetrad types" ' That's all it is. Fear. The living embodiment of Phobos. Crying and cowering behind religious sycophants. I mean the whole thing is just the most bizarre, tone-deaf projection anyone could conceivably write!
