make the Sin City Sequels look like leftovers of this film!
I don't know... by TheGhostWhoLurks	May 7th, 2008 12:29:11 AM
I really don't want to see Frank Miller's version of The Spirit. Hard-edged comic ala The Watchmen doesn't exactly fit in the same category as Will Eisner's creation. Especially after having read Darwyn Cooke's current version, which — to me — seems to have captured and updated the spirit of The Spirit perfectly! Just reading Miller's updating of "Batman and Robin" comic makes my skin crawl, it's so off-base. And after seeing his Sin City-fied trailer of Denny Colt's alter-ego, I have almost no hopes that this will be anything more than TSINO when all is said and done. Which is very sad. :(

What The Fuck is Christmas? by Lashlarue	May 7th, 2008 01:06:44 AM
I've never heard of this holiday before!
What's this WATCHMAN movie? by Lord John Whorfin	May 7th, 2008 01:30:26 AM
And why is Frank Miller so scaird of it?
Yeah, SPIRIT LOOKS LIKE SHIT! SHIT ENOUGH TO FINISH EARLY! by mish87	May 7th, 2008 01:59:26 AM
Anyone seen the piece-of-shit trailer? with the wire jumps? I may puke.
Yep, that Jane Erye is one spirty gal by BenBraddock	May 7th, 2008 02:34:26 AM

further proof by kwisatzhaderach	May 7th, 2008 03:14:46 AM
Hollywood execs have no fucking clue what they're doing.
Never complained about a movie opening sooner. by Knuckleduster	May 7th, 2008 06:01:02 AM
Not about to start now.
Could it also be to make it elligible for awards? by Yeti	May 7th, 2008 06:49:41 AM
Just a thought.
Hey! by teethgnasher	May 7th, 2008 07:21:29 AM
Can Hollywood make some superhero movies for kids? I would love to take my kids (ages 6-9) to a superhero movie one of these days. Dark Knight, Hulk? and Iron Man are aimed at older audiences. The Incredibles anyone?
"She is my mother, my lover..." by john truckosaur	May 7th, 2008 07:40:20 AM
I will not be paying money to watch Frank Miller work out his mommy issues.
Man with Hat and Coat-On a Rope. by brock landers baby	May 7th, 2008 10:08:59 AM
That's what the trailer looks like. I ain't watching 90 mins of that rubbish.
Gotta say by the beef	May 7th, 2008 10:13:32 AM
playing the trailer with The Untouchables theme song got me kinda giddy.
Christmas??? This is fucking terrible idea! by Live.	May 7th, 2008 10:41:34 AM
This is the kind of thinking that killed the Golden Compass ("let's put the atheist movie out at Christmas"). Holiday shoppers and families want to see National Treasure not AVP.
Good Move by Saluki	May 7th, 2008 10:47:30 AM
And once again AICNers line up to crap on this fun looking project. God forbid we actually have something released in December this year. The month is a freakin' wasteland now that Star Trek and Angels & Demons moved back.
I have to say the teaser concerns me by Big Jim	May 7th, 2008 12:22:27 PM
I did not think Miller was going to go "Sin City" with the look of the film. I had hoped it would look more like Dick Tracy. To me The Spirit is in colour, not B&W.
looks like "shit"? by slone13	May 7th, 2008 12:38:49 PM
Give it a rest, chumps. Who do you think you're fooling? At the very least, get yourselves a better adjective. It's like saying something "sucks". Which is fine, provided you're in 4th grade, and have a limited vocabulary.
Saluki by Series7	May 7th, 2008 01:10:29 PM
Are you looking forward to Angels & Demons? Why?
too much sin by scrnwrtr	May 7th, 2008 01:18:49 PM
the current teaser bears a striking resemblance to sin city, without question a genre masterpiece...however, for those of us familiar with the spirit, there seems to be something missing at this point, liberties appear to have been taken (a filmaker's right)...however, denny colt and his graveyard lair, commsioner dolan, sand saref, p'gell (who doesn't seem to have made the shooting script) and the whole bunch have been among my favorites since i was a child...so best to reserve judgement and see what comes out in the wash...just don't wanna be let down...eisner was a god, the penultimate...here's hoping miller does this titan justice...
I've said it before by Larry Sellers	May 7th, 2008 04:30:54 PM
It looks like a movie Frank Miller made. What else would you expect? All of his books look the same, what'd you think would come out of his film career? Nothing against Miller, I enjoy his work. It's just the backlash that's accusing him of being derivative of...himself? It makes no sense. I think I'll give it a chance even though I'm really unfamiliar with the original comics. It looks bearable.

Im' jsut kiding, it happins to all off us sometime...
What killed The Golden Compass.... by MidnightBomber	May 8th, 2008 01:48:03 AM
...was its boring, meandering storyline. I'll bet most people who saw it had no clue that the source material was strongly atheist (the movie didn't really play that up, just hinted). They just knew it didn't grip them or inspire any kind of emotion like a good fantasy movie should, or any good movie for that matter. I wish they'd taken half the time they devoted to production design and channeled it towards smoothing out such a bumpy script.
