I don't need the clips to agree with you, B. But thanks for the memories! "If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant

I thought that Matt Damon would have been a better Matt Murdoch/DD than Affleck. Nolan would definitely be a better fit as director. It's too bad that Sammo Hung has a limited command of English. His role as the crime lord in SPL aka Killzone showed what a cinematic Kingpin could be. Warning the clips contain a huge spoiler for the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe772JaNMhg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SopBaaPOciU There's a scene earlier in the film where he just beasts a room full of cops and they only apprehend him by just dogpiling him with so many people he can't move. Too bad there isn't an American actor with a similar skillset. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@...> wrote: > > > > Chris Nolan directing would be great.
