Screenwriter of Nine is that weird guy in the comic book store

You know the one. The one who tries to reduce everything in the world to a metaphor that is expressed by the characters in the Justice League of America, or the X-Men, or Twilight. Yeah, the one who spits when he talks, so you need goggles to cover your eyes, and wipers for your goggles, and a SARS mask for your mouth and nose, and a tazer held at the ready... Just in case he goes berserk.

Nine is definitely not a movie to see until it shows up on TNT. And maybe not even then.
