No, Julianne Moore, The Only Thing More Terrifying Than Blindness Is Zombies

Blindness trailer, guys:

In the kingdom of the blind, Julianne Moore is wrong. So many scarier things. For example: aliens. For example: sharks. For example: alien sharks.

I read Blindness: The Book, and there's a reason that José Saramago won the Nobel Prize. It's really good (I'm so smart at describing things in a thoughtful, interesting way.) It's like The Road meets Lord of the Flies 2: Adult Island. Put it in your Netboox queue. So I'm not sure about this movie. I already saw 28 Days Later. And Safe. And while the book was definitely about a terrifying descent into dystopian chaos, it wasn't, like, you know, written by the Apprentice of Terror, Clive Barker. Which is what this looks like.

That being said, I will see anything with Mark Ruffalo in it. So apparently I will see this. (Get it, see this. BLINDNESS FART.)

Having in the past taken liberally from your original content to post on my dinky blog , I am happy to see that I beat you to the punch when it comes to posting the trailer for Blindness, talking about how good the book was, and wondering ablog how this movie could possibly approach it. Gabe, I am just going to assume that you read my blog. Please don't poke holes in this theory.

ps -- We should be together too.

pps -- That was just a reference to Eminem's Stan. Unless, you do something about that stubble, in which case it's not a reference to anything other than what my heart can't speak.
