    Okay, actors influencing the script based on a source they've never seen. Yeah, this could explain much.

    Then again Brando never read but Apocalypse Now is one of my all-time favorite films.

    This flick will probably do very well in the box office all around the globe. It'll look amazing and be ever so kooky. Hell, I'll probably shell out the $10 to see it. But it ain't Eisner, not by a long shot. I'll just edit out every utterance of "Spirit" with "Mr. Masko", or possibly "Melvin". Yah, that'll work.

    @Grey_Area: Uh, sorry...in the 3rd sentence I meant to type: "Then again Brando never read Heart of Darkness but Apocalypse Now is one of my all-time favorite films."

    Good thing no one's reading this.

    So a question for all...

    They announce a Dark Knight film is in production, but Miller is directing. Are we excited, or no?

    @Grrsn Dn: Whoa, tough one. If he sticks to his own material and does Dark Knight Returns--sure, more power to him. Otherwise it's all torches and pitchforks.

    I heard this movie was going to be bad. Like, really bad.

    Has scenery-chewing EVER lead to a good performance? Doesn't it tend to sort of ruin things?

    I hate to play spelling Nazi, but you really need to fix this sentence.

    "Despite Miller's many rewrites and expansions, after meeting a few actors, he ended up giving Jackson free rein."
