    There are two trailers, one after the other. I liked the music on the 2nd trailer best (Morricone?) More than that I say not, I have to make like a banana and split. What say you? Are those cahones large enough, OKO? You all love it, really.

    That looked pretty cool, I didn't know the new Sin City film was out so soon. I think that, it...what!? The Spirit.....!? That was supposed to be Will Eisner's "The Spirit"!? What the!?!

    And like bacon, I'm back...

    Why that looks nothing like Sin City! The very notion! I thought the twin attack choppers swooping in for some hi-calibre hi-jinks was particularly Eisner-ian.
    I think I'm just going to have to watch this before deciding on it's worth, those two trailers look to be for two very different films so different are their emphases. maybe the real film will be a different beast alltogether. A good beast, hopefully.

    It's like an Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin mash-up.
    Does Frank Miller have such little respect for Will Eisner that he wants to make sure that the dominant opinion of Eisners best known series is based on this awful, awful, awful interpretation?

    I don't know, does he?

    I think it's just the way Frank MIller sees everything now. If he was making Peanuts: The Movie it'd be all bleached out and green screened with a skeevy voiceover proclaiming:" Lucy is the kind of dame who'll take a man's ball away. Both of them" while a "hot" lady with big chesticles distressingly clothed like a small girl writhes around on a climbing frame like a horny lunatic. In the rain. With lightning. And guns. Lots of guns. With Bruce Willis as Charlie Brown, Paul Giamatti as Snoopy and Mickey Rourke as Woodstock...actually, I bet I could sell this...what's the area code for Hollywood?

    Of course...it...might just be good. G*ddamn, that'd be a hoot!

    (Lalo! And Ennio! Too good.)

    As soon as I saw Samuel L, I got the feeling that this was one of his 'mortgage-payment' movies.

    Perhaps it will turn out completely differently when every shot isn't cropped down to show only face. Without real backgrounds though, I think there will be a lot of blacked-out areas onscreen for most of the movie.
