Miller is overrated.

On Miller writing all his females like ****es. Let me paraphrase Katt Williams "If people are calling you a crackhead for 20 years, *****, you are smoking crack!"

I never get tired of linking this.

What's funny is your post actually precipitated the post to which I was responding.

Man, I fail at internets.

No, you need to adjust your attitude to Miller. That is too badass for words.

What?

Oh, you mean Dwight slapping Gail in The Big Fat Kill. Always a favorite in this arguement. I wonder why? Maybe because it's the only one where the arguement works?

Even if it was the only example, it's still appalling! I love Sin City, but that scene galls me, and if I'm honest with myself, most of his work does. I just love Sin City for some inane reason.

Thing to think about with 300: It's told almost entirely in the point of view not just by a grand storyteller, but a SPARTAN storyteller. He's probably going to exacturate things to make the story seem more grand.

Exacturate. Yeah, there's a lot of that.

An interesting thing I heard about it in a featurette of Spartan history on the 300 DVD, according to the historians shown

Well, gee, man, you're really doing your historical research! Why not just pop over to the History Channel and REALLY do some fact-finding?

Well, doesn't that happen? I'm not saying it to condone it or anything, so don't start insulting me for it, but it's understandable that it's part of her character a bit. You also have to remember that both Gordon and Batman are old men from the '40s, and it's pretty much set in the '80s, when women just started to gain positions in such jobs.

Dude, it wasn't written as if this was a bad thing. It was written as if it was natural as breathing.

odd that people always scream out that Bruce was obviously banging Carrie because of that costume, but people will venomously screech at you if you say Bruce was obviously banging Dick or Jason because of wearing that very same costume.

That could be because Batman isn't gay. And to suggest that he is, smacks of the kind of *********ory revisionism that so many liberals try to apply to fiction to support various causes, when all these so-called literary critical theories do is set the causes back by 100 years by being so ****ING stupid.

I'm just saying, don't finish the book on him saying his a mysoginistic pig until you've read them.

Dude, just because EVERY INSTANCE OF HIS WORK isn't necessarily misogynistic, doesn't mean he isn't. It's like saying that the Kramer guy didn't have latent racist tendencies because he only ****ed up the one time. Frankly, I don't know how we're even having this conversation. Anyone who's read Miller's script for All-Star Batman #1 should be well aware that the guy is a shameless misogynistic prick. He pretty much writes it in the script. Pretty much just says, "I'm a shameless misogynistic prick."

Also, you have to remember one thing about Miller when it comes to his work: his major inspiration was film noir and pulp novels. He drew from the likes of Chandler and Spillane, who's women were either angels on cracked pavements, or seductive and manipulating.

Ever wonder why that storytelling style went out of fashion? Maybe there was a reason.

Seriously though for a nonexistant word, "exacturate" is pretty great.

Miller sucks.
