Why Frank Miller's Spirit Can Only Fail
I've noticed a trend: We do a post about the upcoming movie version of The Spirit, and commenters complain that we're too negative about it.

Miller will be re-imagining Eisner's work, and you can see his fingerprints all over this design for the character of an evil secretary called Silken Floss, played by Scarlett Johansson. More »
