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.

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?
ever since he got mainstream recognition he's been pretty insufferable.
Good Lord. His All-Star Batman and Robin is laughably crack-headed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey, Frank Miller really really really doesn't want his balls cut off, okay? And he just wants to make sure everyone understands that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Really, not having seen said movie, I am wondering who is so gosh-darned precise in their ultraviolence that castration, rather than death, is the result? I mean, okay, maybe one of the situation was up close, and involved a knife. But the rest: look, I don't care what kind of sniper scope you have, you are going to make a great big mess of guts no matter what you do. Possibly some testicular material will go flying as well, but it's the large intestines and the descending aorta I'm worried about.
