    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Oh, I'll give it a try. I am one of the few who actually got enjoyment out of the Dawn remake/reimagining/reboot/redone.

    Cell is being made into a movie??? I'm nearing the end of the book and would love to see it [properly] made into a feature length film!

    Indeed, be they zombies or just infected, there's plenty of that sort of film coming out now/soon, so I don't entirely 'get' Snyder's thought process on it ... and I bet they friggin' run too...

    I dont think he gets it either.
    And think Watchmen is going to suck. He is going to totally miss the point, no doubt. I dont think he is any kind of thinking man.

    I'm with you on that one. That's what I kept thinking the whole time I was watching "300": "Did Snyder actually think this through, or just have some barely clothed men swing swords in front of a green screen, let the CG department add in the background, and then slow down and speed up the film at random moments throughout the entire movie?"

    He's not a thinking director at all. He should've stuck with commercials. That's his style....the visual aspect. Everything else falls completely flat.

    This is good news!

    I loved 300 and I also enjoyed Dawn '04 too.

    I know that when Snyder says one thing, what he really means is "I'm gonna make an action film with pretty visuals".

    If he had any sense about him, he would have just done that originally, instead of messing about with the whole DAWN thing.

    Ergo, zak "the hack" snyder is still nonsensical.

    Was watching TV earlier and there was an advert for "300" on, and it struck me - there's absolutely no plot mentioned in the trailer, which is what you usually, if not ALWAYS, find in a trailer. There's a mere line of dialogue - some beardy bloke shouting - then it's just a load of slow-mo visuals and action footage that looks pretty ... that's IT, nothing more.

    I haven't bothered seeing it yet, won't for some time, but from those who have seen it, is that basically it? Just visuals and no plot?

    Precisely, MZ. It's entertaining for one mindless viewing....but it goes nowhere past that. Just like Dawn04.
