Harmony ,'First Date'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
So I'm kinda iffy on Miller's The Spirit which is coming out soon. My confidence is not high that he can not fuck up Eisner's work.
Lord I hadn't heard this. That is scary news. I really like DKR and Year 1, and his run on Daredevil (and Elektra Assassain), but ever since he got mainstream recognition he's been pretty insufferable.
Yeah, there's a trailer out and everything. And it looks as if it's done in the Sin City style, very green-screen stylized, black and white with occasional flashes of red.
Here it is. Trailer

Oh, it's a movie. I thought he might have been doing a new Spirit comic. Either way, trepedition is the name of the game.

Oh, yeah, I should have made that clearer.

God. Forbid.
But Sin City just seemed like a series of shoddy stories acting as flimsy excuses for a lot of stupid ultra-violence.
So...you're saying the 3 (4? 5?) castrations were a bit much?

Good Lord. His All-Star Batman and Robin is laughably crack-headed.

Hey, Frank Miller really really really doesn't want his balls cut off, okay? And he just wants to make sure everyone understands that.
Make him a button. "Balls cut off? Y/N?"

I really wanted to love Sin City but the above was exactly my experience of it. After the first 5 minutes of whizbang, I was bored. And annoyed with the character's choices. So i blamed both the material and the adaptation.

"Which I still might ignore even if you're wearing an 'N' button!"

If it were just once I'd say we should give him credit for actually broaching the subject, whereas most writers would shy away and just throw another dead hooker on the barbie to fill the fetishized violence quota. But yeah, multiple revisitations leave me with the impression that castration anxiety is what keeps Frank awake at night.
