Twenty Years later, just about every comic is trying to mimic Frank Miller. Even to the point that when Frank Miller does it, he looks soft in comparison. Check out All Star Batman and Robin. I hated it at first but now i see that Miller was pulling my leg the whole time. He takes batman, makes him the angsty screaming madman like he was in Dark Knight Returns, and makes him look abslutely insane. It's hysterical!<BR/><BR/>Certainly there have been stories that have been done recently that have pushed the boundaries of the artform, but now it's refreshing when someone comes out and does something that's not at all serious, fun, and a bit campy.<BR/><BR/>Some people have cried out how he's basically defacing Will Eisner but at that panel, Miller said he would never rehash what Eisner has done, but instead use the best technology possible to make something new and interestng.<BR/><BR/>That to me is much more satisfying than seeing what would essentially had become Mx Payne with a mask if done by someone who was not friends with Eisner. Not to mention, they also discussed how every shot was decided by whether or not Eisner would approve. Sure that could be BS, but Miller talks about Eisner in a way that you just know he's making sure he doesn't screw up.<BR/><BR/>-DustinDustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693348353175127488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467779091159837681.post-14185014065085955622008-08-13T12:42:00.000-04:002008-08-13T12:42:00.000-04:00you know I just read some comments over on cinemat...you know I just read some comments over on cinematical where a guy brought up the point that Miller was the one who took camp out of comics, and now for his directorial debut he's putting the camp back in? I dunno, i thought this was a pretty valid point, althought I agree with you, Dustin, that this does not look as bad as everyone says it does.G.Retthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984819127010343120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467779091159837681.post-30249846074011001962008-08-13T12:09:00.000-04:002008-08-13T12:09:00.000-04:00I gotta say, i was there when that footage was sho...I gotta say, i was there when that footage was shown, and that fight got the best response of the three from the audience. Personally, I'm loving this film having not really liked sin city all that much.<BR/><BR/>While the response has been overwhelmingly negative so far, I was really digging what was being shown. <BR/><BR/>-DustinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
