Synth - those two films couldn't be more different. Hancock has a brain in its head. But - I will confess -the world seems to agree with your take on "Hancock". (IIRC, it bombed both at the box and with critics.) BTW, I loved "Heaven's Gate" (long version), too - so maybe it's me - and I shouldn't have been surprised that no-one mentioned it. I still love this flick, though. And it does look & sound very good on BR.
