Trailer
Trailer 2
Trailer 3

So aside from a few occasional trailers on the TV, I haven't seen any advertising for this flick. What's the deal?

Good job, DC; giving the franchise to the one guy that Eisner hated.

You know you've been on NPF for too long when you see a thread title like this.. then you see that it was SEIL who made it and you go "Oh!... ok then.."

buuuuuuut... about the movie.

I dunno... i sleept during Sin City and Never watched 100% of 300 (nice movie for a first that huh.... u_u'' ) so im not sure if im ok with this as it seems very close like that... this "new style" of making movies seem to be a little too much Hit'n'miss

Because it seems everyone in TV and stuff is too busy fellating themselves over Bolt (for whatever unknown reason) right now to notice anything else.

You're a bad person.


Anyway, Bellsouth's hereticality (hereticism?) aside, The Spirit looks pretty fuckin' awesome from what I've seen. I read the graphic novel some years back.

That's because every time i see one of these trailers i remember "Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow". Im tainted that way!

When I first saw the first trailer, I was indecisive about this move. Some parts I liked, some I didn't. The second trailer made me psyched. There were elements that were clearly Miller's, but that's to be expected, and it seemed like it was gonna be true to the comics.

Then I saw the third trailer.

God damn you Frank Miller! The Spirit is not Batman! We get it! You're most acclaimed work was Batman! Now stop making ever single character you get your hands on Batman!

Seriously, here's just three of the many things that are assuring me of the epic fail this film will be:
1. The costume. The Spirit says that whole thing about needing a red tie. Okay, Frank, the costume design is important. Then why did you change the rest of his costume from blue, which is unique, to black, which is like every other character you've ever written?

2. I understand that this is Frank Miller and that the Whores thing is obvious. I don't need to harp on this, as I'm sure someone else will do it for me. However, I have to bitch about Sand Sarif. Frank takes the comic version of her and Colt's "romance", which is a sweet, innocent relationship of ten-year olds that is ultimately ended in tragedy, and turns it into a sexy teen sexfest with lots of teen sex that's hot and sexy. Seriously, what with Robin in TDKR and now this, I think Frank's got an unhealthy obsession with the sex lives of minors.

3. What the hell is up with the Octopus? Seriously Frank? "I'm gonna make El Spirito dead?" "She's got a thing for the bling?" I never thought I would ever say this, but I think that Samuel L. Jackson is going to ruin this film.

And the worst part is that I know I'm gonna end up seeing this movie. Goddamn fanboyism...

Oh man so like I was at work where I don't have speakers on my computer. So as an experiment I go ahead and click on the first trailer above to watch it with the sound off? And it's like, whores whores whores guns whores scary black man whores. Hypothesis confirmed!

Also FYI to Jedi, Miller's Batman was never Batman. He was just another iteration of the same bullshit stock Miller "I GRIT MY TEETH AND PUNCH YOUR NUTS AND FEEL YOUR NUTBONES BREAK THROUGH MY GRITTED TEETH GRAR" avatar of The Badass Frank Miller Imagines Himself To Be.

I'm aware of this, I just feel that every other character he's written has been based off of his version of Batman, so that's why I said what I did.

I guess what I'm saying is that my interpretation is more that every character he's written including Batman is based off the same bullshit Mary Sue, it's just that Batman is the first one they let him write.
