    that's actually a great little trailer, right there. forget the teaser(s). it focuses too much on the women but this looks a thousand times better.

    I was watching ABC Family the other night and they were showing "Cars"... and in the middle of it an ad for THIS movie!

    I'm not sure what demographic they're aiming for but I doubt the kids dreaming of being Lightning McQueen are going to be racing to the theater for this!

    again, WHO is Frank Miller and WHY does everyone think he's so great?

    Also, they're usually devastatingly good lookin, so really they could basically be farting and stepping on a cat and it would still be sexily.

It seems like the sort of outrageous combo that a comic would try to get away with, that would also not be out of place in the very silly, crazy world Frank Miller is creating.
