Sometimes, your first impression is correct

""Will Eisner was my mentor, and The Spirit was so awesome a property that I at first thought I was not worthy to do it." -- Frank Miller, briefly getting something right for the first time in years.

Other famous mentors: Caesar (to Brutus) and Jesus (to Judas).

I think you mean "Judas". "Judah" is a different name.

Fixed! Yeah, I was mashing up religions again.

While Miller and Eisner were friends, by all reports they disagreed over their twenty year friendship about HOW TO TELL A STORY. Miller's friendship with Eisner has always been the weakest argument to me about why he's the best choice to direct the adaptation...

Heh. Good call.

First time I saw the trailer for it, without knowing what it was, I thought, "They made the sequel to Sin City already?"

Miller needed to stop after Dark Knight.

"... The Spirit was so awesome a property that I at first thought I was not worthy to do it."

And you were right, Frank.

Have you read? Frank Miller is contemplating a Buck Rogers movie (http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=3&id=62980). A dark, corrupt look at the space future. I'm guessing with whores.

At least it's not Uwe Boll, right? Right?! Sigh.

My apologies. I just saw your next post. You do, sadly, know about the Buck Rogers thing.

Now with whores!

i hate him like poison.

Miller, I assume? Because Judas and Brutus at least showed some remorse. And talent.

It's an excellent hobby.
