On the subject of comicbook movies, "what's this about Ben Affleck being Daredevil?" I say to Dan. He replies: "Yes. Silly, isn't it? I mean, a film of Daredevil is basically silly, since his superpowers are completely non-visual, unless you keep going into 'radar sense cam', where the screen is pitch dark but things go ping. Daredevil is a bit shit, anyway. He's blind, but his heightened senses and 'radar sense' allow him to behave as if he can see. So, basically, he's just a bloke. It's like having a dwarf whose height is doubled by a radioactive explosion". Does anybody know any Hollywood executives? I smell a pitch coming on.
