Was pretty. Thats about it.

Yeah, it looked pretty good, but the storyline and the acting were just off.

Eh I think storyline and acting can be blamed on the fact that its supposed to be in comic book style.

I was planning on seeing this... Then I saw all the reviews and heard from friends that it was terrible... So I never did see it.



Frank Miller thought he could direct a movie by himself for some reason. Comic book writer turned director doesn't always turn out so good.

He did co-direct Sin City, but my guess is that Robert Rodriguez was doing most of the work with Frank Miller kind of telling him how to make it more like the comic. Must of thought his shit didn't stink after he co-produced 300 and it did well at the box office.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Is this based on Will Eisner's comic?
