This film has amazing potential for engaging culture and encouraging spiritual discussion. While I am certainly no expert of Paradise Lost, I am looking forward to this project.<BR/><BR/>You mentioned on my blog that "I don’t know about you’re (sic) excitement…this is a very challenging and unique project…" Your thoughts seem to suggest that because a project seems "challenging and unique" it shouldn't be attempted, which saddens me - there is so much great art out there (not just movies) that never would have been created with this mindset.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1145792339941941732006-04-23T05:38:00.000-06:002006-04-23T05:38:00.000-06:00It does sound like a bad idea.

In a film, they are going to cut things out, twist it into what they want it to mean, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1145792154451397472006-04-23T05:35:00.000-06:002006-04-23T05:35:00.000-06:00This sounds like a very, very bad idea!I'm not ove...This sounds like a very, very bad idea!<BR/><BR/>I'm not overly familiar with Scott Derricksons' work but I didn't think "Emily Rose" was that good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
