The Spirit

[MDiver01]

Here's a clip from Frank Miller's
THE SPIRIT that was shown at San Diego's Comic Con. It tosses The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) and The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) together in a river of what appears to be human feces. Toilet humor is involved, quite literally.
Is THE SPIRIT supposed to be a comedy? Because it plays like a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I don't know if Will Eisner's influential comic was this lighthearted or not, but I've got to wonder if any of it took place in a shit-filled sewer. All signs point to this being a ridiculous travesty (I think the laughs you hear in the audience are more of the "I guess I'm supposed to laugh so I'll be polite" variety).
In any case, the film gets released this Christmas. Click the image below to check out the clip.

i get to go see an advanced screening of this on sunday. i hated 300 and thought sin city was just "o.k.". should be interesting.

[RedBEARD]

Load in your butt plug before you go to the show, that way you'll be in a better mood when you see it.

[Gary_Busey]

I liked Sin City, 300 was OK, the visuals were all it had going for it. I probably won't go see this.

Go check out the Wrestler if you can. It's supposed to be outstanding

[mongo]

your post stinks of bullshit and semen.

[Jericho]

Oooookay, but I'm serious. I'm dying to see it. It's got tons of Oscar buzz and is currently sitting on a 100% on rottentomatoes

[mongo]

i'll probably give it a look. i hardly ever watch mainstream shit though.

Don't be a snob. Watch a good movie if it's good

[mongo]

take your own advice, joel!

pffffft. Care to elaborate. How am I a snob?

[mongo]

i was referring to the "watch a movie if it's good" part of your statement.

[Jericho]

I watch plenty of movies, good and bad

The Wrestler is "mainstream shit"?

[ADD]

Sounds pretty limited when 8 people called me today asking if I knew anywhere in Chicago that was getting it tomorrow and having to explain that's only in NY and LA tomorrow and not anywhere else until Jan. 16.

[mongo]

stop making me look like a fool, rob!

[ShitBreak]

This movie is getting an insane amount of HORRIBLE reviews....like, worst movie of the year reviews.

So...good luck with that.

[nuclearjew]

It looks pretty retarded. And by that I mean it looks pretty AND it looks retarded.

Yep... read one that called it worse than Battlefield Earth. That's some harsh shit.

frank miller took the style of sin city but not the director.

and can this really be worse than max payne ?

[Nature's Folly]

An awesome review of this soon to be known as one of the worst movies ever.
(Is it odd this review makes me want to see it that much more?)

Here is a taste:
The Spirit isn’t just a failure, it is a spectacular failure; a turkey so loud and obnoxious that it will go down in cult film history, adored by those ready to embrace it for its worthlessness. There are moments of this that feel like community theatre – it’s like being dragged to a play starring that actress girlfriend of yours who can’t get through a single convincing line but gives the world’s greatest blowjobs so you sit and smile and nod your head to 2 hours of theatrical critique of the works of Nietzsche set to the music of Barry Gibbs. With Nazis.

So wait for a gif of her and call it good?

I'll probably just go see Gran Torino when it opens instead.
