Upcoming 'Daredevil' movie expected to be boost for the blind. Except they can't ... well, you know, they can't, ummm ... you know
"I love the idea of a blind action hero, and it sounds just great," said Daniel Potter, a spokesman for 'Sight Unseen', a research center for the visually impaired in Santa Monica. "The score is cool, there's this whooshing sound, which I think is Daredevil fighting with his cane, then there's a different whooshing sound, which I heard was Electra whipping out her swords. I bet she’s really pretty. People with the gift of sight should really enjoy it."
And star Ben Affleck seems eager to promote the film. "The idea came up to have a big screening at 'Sight Unseen', but, like 2 seconds later the obvious problems to that kind of occurred to all of us." Affleck said. He did not go on to add, "Christ, the parking alone woulda been a fuckin’ train wreck."
But not all the anticipation is positive.
"In the sense that I'm dreading it, yeah, I guess you could say I'm looking forward to it," said Brian Griffin, who is blind. "I already had one jackass throw a pool ball at me. Apparently this happened in one of the comics. I think I was supposed to spin to the side, twirl my cane like a Jedi and bat the ball like a Bonds home run. But it turns out, I'm not a bionic acrobat, so I stood there having a conversation and got hit in the teeth with a cue ball. The pain was fuckin insufferable. So I cant wait for the movie, people gonna be heaving swords at me, then look surprised when I stand there and get sliced in half."
