Hack! HAAAAACK!
SPOILERS about The Village and Running Out of Time follow.
So, anyway, before The Village came out, everyone at Fametracker was saying, "God, I reeeeeally hope that the twist isn't that 'the village' is really just segregated from modern society." Everyone came up with all different ideas for what the twist could be, because it just couldn't be that.
And... then it was. The twist was exactly that. So, while everyone threw things at the screen and cursed Shyamalan's well-nigh unpronouncable name, someone drew comparison to Running Out of Time, a young adult novel about a girl on a historical preservation who is sent out into the present by her mother to get medicine that will help combat an illness that is killing the reservation's children.
Well, turns out we weren't the only ones who noticed.
