So I just saw "There Will Be Blood" and It was such a rockin film.

The two things that stood out for me were the lighting and of course the acting. I'm a whore for that feeling that creeps up on you and gives you goosebumps (or maybe thats just me and I need to get checked out) when an actor delivers and delivers well in a scene.

But after I got done with the picture, I was thinking "Would a direct adaption like page for page scene for scene work in a comic?" For "There Will Be Blood" I really felt the acting was such a crucial element to its storytelling because there's so much that is implied through it, that It would have to seriously be tweaked to fit the comics medium- and even then would that be the proper medium for the telling of that story?

Some movies I think would:

Collateral
No Country for Old Men
Predator: ( "This stuff'll make you a SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS" - a great man)
Gladiator
Reservoir Dogs

Man on Fire

Some movie I think CAIN'T:

Children of Men
Goodfellas
There Will Be Blood
Breakfast at Tiffany's (Yea, I'll admit it! :P)

Once Upon a Time in the West

@Emperor Gonzo Noir: The rest you say no....so that means the ones I said no to and you said no to you and means you actually think YES.
