Spawn and The Cell

When I get movies from Netflix, I try to rent similar titles, movies with *something* in common, be it plot elements, or visual styles. I've seen The Cell, and LOVED it. It's an excellent movie, visually spectacular. The colors and the textures are so rich, I could watch that movie over and over and not get sick of it. Vincent D'Onofrio is fabulous, you try to hate him, but you just can't, and I hate to say it, but even J. Ho does a pretty good job, even though she's not NEARLY as faceted as the Vinces (Vaughn and D'Onofrio). I knew I wouldn't be dissapointed in it at all, and... just *wow*.

I rented Spawn with it, because I have such a deep respect and adoration of Comic Books. I've always loved Spawn's costume, the cape has always fascinated me. Even when it's drawn, as a still comic book frame, it's got such *movement*. I have to say that that's the ONE part of the movie that I wasn't COMPLETELY dissapointed in. Gaaah. Just sucks to see a comic slaughtered like that, you know? The characters were *awful* and it really sucked not to have someone to heckle it with, heh. THAT would have made the movie a zillion times better, *grin*.

So, that was my night. Damn, I live an exciting life, don't I?
