This will brand me as a huge nerd forever, but...

The theatrical trailer for Frank Miller's The Spirit actually looks kind of cool. You might already know that I'm a huge sucker for comic books or anything comic book-related, and this film is based off of Will Eisner's similarly-titled comics from the 1950s. It's even done in traditional Frank Miller film-noir style, much like what we saw in Sin City.

I'm not holding my breath for a great story in The Spirit, though. Frank Miller has a ways to go in that department. I mean, Sin City was a beautiful film, but the story was no more than a fake blood fest, and not even the good Tarantino-style kind. I guess we'll see what happens this time around. In the meantime I'm going to ponder why everyone keeps casting Scarlett Johansson and her weird lips in every movie these days.
