I had grave reservations about an adaptation of Blindness, as it's one of my favourite books and I imagine that it's pretty near unadaptable. But—it's going to be directed by the guy who did City of God. And the trailer suggests that they're not losing any of the allegorical elements that made the book so powerful. So my expectations are high, oh yes.
We do not, however, need another film about the gorram Battle of Seattle. Especially one that looks like it's going to not just suck, but actually suck the entire universe into an epic ocean of its own fail.

Date: 2008-05-20 12:13 am (UTC)as to 'battle in seattle,' it's an as yet untested director and an interseting cast.
i'm pretty ambivalent about it, at this point, especially since i don't expect it to portray anything similar to the reality of it.
