slight disappointment and a slightly larger disappointment. And in the last few weeks he's become one of the more polarizing directors out there.
But now things really get interesting for Zack Snyder.
The provocative filmmaker will in a few months begin shooting "Superman: Man of Steel," a reboot of perhaps the most beloved character in the
history of movies. But just where exactly do Snyder's fan cachet, and box-office drawing power, lie in the wake of this past weekend's "Sucker Punch"?
It's hard to say where the road turns next for Snyder. Warner Bros., which is behind both "Superman" and "Sucker Punch," drew a distinction between the two films, with Jeff Goldstein, executive vice president of dis-
Amy Kaufman that "a film like 'Sucker Punch' brought out (Snyder's) core fan base, but he has a lot of potential, and with a bigger, broader title, he can attract a wider audience, as he has in the past."
Still, once a filmmaker loses currency with the fan community, it's not always easy to get it back. Snyder has his work cut out for him.

Montana business is booming - literally
HAMILTON, Mont. — A Ra-
dioShack in Montana is offering
would-be satellite television customers more bang for their buck.
The Ravalli Republic reports customers who sign up for some Dish Network packages at RadioShack in Hamilton will receive a coupon for a pistol or shotgun and the required background check. Those not interested in a gun get a $50 Pizza Hut gift card.
Store owner Steve Strand said it took some haggling to get Dish Network to go along with the promotion, but it has tripled his business since last October.
The sign outside the business reads: "Protect yourself with Dish Network. Sign up now, get free gun."
