Some thoughts on The Spirit
I was dreading The Spirit. I didn’t like the posters that showed up six months ago, the ones with the smutty writing on the women’s faces, and I didn’t like the look of the trailer. It looked weird, unpolished and campy. When some reviews showed up that called it, literally, one of the worst movies ever made, I felt a sigh of relief, thinking "Well, now I don’t have to see it, that’s a load off." Ah, but then my big superhero project came along, and how was I going to not see the new superhero movie?
Christmas day rolled around, and I found myself in a town with nothing to do and, well, I like to go see a movie on Christmas, it’s kind of a tradition ’round my place. I should have been working on a treatment I have due, but it was Christmas, and who wants to work on Christmas?
