Good call! The Spawn movie was pathetic. Or Mimic, too. He would have made a GREAT Mimic.

So one of the more recent
It Could Have Been Better films I have seen was
Teeth. It wasn't
bad, per se; I loved the concept (woman coming into her sexuality and its physical - not metaphorical horror), but I feel as though director Mitchell Lichtenstein was trying to pull it in too many directions - Shock, Dark Comedy, Social Commentary, Feminism, Anti-Christian, Schlock - But didn't necessarily excel in any of them...
I wonder what
Teeth would have been like if Takashi Miike (
Audition,
Visitor Q and
Gozu fame) had taken a swipe at it:
- He definitely would have added more absurdity (and we might even show the teeth)
- The comedy would be dark, very dark
- The sex/violence scenes would be more explicit and schlocky
- There would be more incest
- She would follow a more explicit hero path
I would LOVE to see
Teeth done by Miike, to think about it...
