NEW full TRAILER!!!

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Actually....yes, it's considered a bad word. Call another poster that and see how long it takes to get a warning. It isn't censored because it has legitament uses....not just as a derogatory term used to insult people.

I also have to agree with IDrawDeadPeople that the idea of Ellen Dolan calling anyone a "bastard" is not my idea of how to handle the character.

Yeah, that was my point. Whenever I say something about cursing regarding this film... I'm not talking as a prude... I'm talking about how Miller can't write anything but 'potty language'... and how it doesn't fit ALL the characters... some yes, others, absolutely not.

Ellen should never be the one to talk like that... but, since Miller is writing the dialogue and he has a limited vocabulary... she's officially a curser. Or cursor?

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

That trailer was awful.

Yes. Yes it was.

There were some small redeeming parts, tho.

Other than confusing countless potential viewers into believing it is a film about a man who can shrink down like Ant Man and has sex with everyone.

 

[Boom]

It's just...UGH. What we have:

-Seizure-inducing "dream" sequences.
-Samuel Jackson being Samuel Jackson.
-A trailer dominated by scantily-clad women, with The Spirit occassionally thrown in. Before each female is introduced, we get a closeup of their faces, with their names and quotes. Is this supposed to be entertaining? Is this supposed to get me excited? Are men really that shallow that this constitutes "entertainment?" Nothing in this trailer makes me want to see this in theaters.

Like someone said before. This looks like the child of a cheap Sin City knockoff and a softcore porno.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

To be fair, the trailer does have occasional redeeming qualities.

I do like the cinematography. I think Macht is a competent actor to portray Denny. And, the entire Sand Saref/towel scene plays very, very Eisner-like... just so long as we see absolutely no more of her body in the film than we do in the trailer.

But, it does not properly represent Eisner, the characters, or the charm of the source material... and instead does look like a softcore porn, with bizarro world dream sequences, and a man who appears an inch tall in too many scenes in the trailer to not have that be a plot point if you don't know the character.

However, Miller might very well have him be able to shrink down, as one of his newfound superpowers.

 

[theMan-Bat]

Actually, I could care less that you 'told on me', because my gripe was exactly the same then as it is now... you provoke responses by badgering people and then run and tell when you are called out for it.

Rogue Trooper has every right to reply to me because we are having a conversation... and he does not quote me, line for line, and then proceed to show zero reading comprehension skills when it comes to attempting to decipher my basic English.

You are willingly or unwillingly ignorant when it comes to communication with me, at least, and your telling or crying or whatever it is you choose to do with your free time has nothing to do with it.

I asked you to stop annoying me with your stalker-ish posts, and it's not because you are a teller... it's because you contribute nothing to anything, other than provoking, misinterpreting others' posts, and hot linking pics from all over the internet.

And, I will kindly ask, once again, that you stop making me want to take a shower to get the feeling of rape off of me, and please find something else to do, rather than fail at comprehending my posts.

"You stole fizzy lifting drinks! Good day, sir!"

And, just to make this lighthearted...

Actually, I merely corrected you on the facts and stated my opinions, which I'm entitled to do.
As President Dale said in Mars Attacks, "Can't we all just get along?"

Fair enough, we're certainly all entitled to our opinions.

Well, I have been saying that the whole time... you just couldn't understand me... you know... like I said you couldn't... but you couldn't understand me... just like I said you couldn't...

Here... one last time in English:

ACk. AcK aCk acK. - which mean "Do not run, we are your friends".

Followed by my disintegrating you.


(Note: disintegration doesn't count as a legitimate internet threat, since it is scientifically beyond most normal citizens' ability to actually perpetrate)

Oh my gosh!!! The Spirit was in it!!?? I didn't see him. Sweet!!! lol.

 

[The Shadow]

double post

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Oh my gosh!!! The Spirit was in it!!?? I didn't see him. Sweet!!! lol.

Yes... unfortunately you missed him because for 80% of his brief screen shots, he was the equivelant of an inch and a half tall compared to the giant amazon women he was sharing screen time with.

Although, I may have confused this with the trailer for the remake of The Incredible Shrinking Man.

 

[The Shadow]

lol. Oh that was the Spirit!?

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Yeah, he's obvious in the 'being spit out of a woman's mouth' shot, but he's also in Fraggle mode in at least two others...

He is Micro-Spirit in one brief shot where he's floating (good grief, I can't believe I even had to type 'floating' in regards to the Spirit) in a shot of Lorelei where she's hovering inside the giant bong, or whatever is happening there.

He's also not too easy to see, as Incredible Shrinking Denny in the totally ridiculous Mt. Rushmore shot of all the women's heads.

 

[The Shadow]

I'm tellin ya,man a newcomer to the spirit would think lorelei was the spirit. Personally I'd rather there not be any movie made, than for Miller to make this thing.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

I'm in agreement. I do want to see this, in a wierd way, because I'm always of the mindset that I'd rather see something than nothing at all, but I do wish they wouldn't give Eisner ANY credit for this. I don't want his reputation being dragged through the mud when critics don't dig some of the stuff in this.

No film critic is going to be merciful at all regarding the pheremone/sex power.

I do like some of the footage from ComicCon, but I wish they had gotten someone who could pull off Octopus with a bit more sophisication.

I want Denny's archrival to be the Octopus.

I don't want Denny' archrival to be Sam "Snakes on a mutha****in plane" Jackson.

 

[The Shadow]

Yeah, The Octopus is supposed to be white and you're not suppose to ever see his face..........................ever. Period. Know what I'm sayin'?

 

[rogue trooper]

Well, here he is black. Big deal. For all we know it could also end up being just a disguise.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

oops. double

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Yeah, The Octopus is supposed to be white and you're not suppose to ever see his face..........................ever. Period. Know what I'm sayin'?

You know what...? I'm not even saying that...

I give them the benefit of the doubt that it would be difficult to have the main villain hide behind curtains for the entire film, and still have the film be epic on any level...

I also don't mind him not being a white character.

I just don't like that he's not as eloquent in his speech and mannerisms as Eisner wrote him.

When his hands DID appear, they were always poised like Lon Chaney Sr.'s hands in Phantom of the Opera (1925) when he was placing items such as poison or envelopes. There was this graceful way the fingers went and it told a great story in its subtlety when handled by Eisner.

Jackson is an actor that would be like a Miller creation unto himself. Just extreme and nuts and loud and obnoxious... and literally telling potty jokes in the footage.

 

[rogue trooper]

I don't want Denny' archrival to be Sam "Snakes on a mutha****in plane" Jackson.

Wow!! What a cheap shot!! I rather think it's inspirational that the mysterious "Mr. Glass"(Unbreakable) is playing The Octopus.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

Wow!! What a cheap shot!! I rather think it's inspirational that the mysterious "Mr. Glass"(Unbreakable) is playing The Octopus.

When did Mr. Glass holler, "COME ON! TOILETS ARE FUNNY!"?

Or wear a Nazi uniform?

I must have missed the Director's Cut.

 

[rogue trooper]

When did Mr. Glass holler, "COME ON! TOILETS ARE FUNNY!"?

....I guess there's a first time for everything.

 

[Lighthouse]

Jesus, how the hell did Frank Miller fall so far from grace? This is just plain sad.

 

[C. Lee]

Wow!! What a cheap shot!! I rather think it's inspirational that the mysterious "Mr. Glass"(Unbreakable) is playing The Octopus.

If Sam was portraying him more restrained like "Mr. Glass" instead of the over the top "Snakes on a Plane" characterization we see in the trailer.....then I would consider it inspirational.

 

[IDrawDeadPeople]

....I guess there's a first time for everything.

Well, that's certainly a different way to say, "I was wrong".



I agree, when Sam Jackson works with an actual Director who knows how to Direct, he can give inspiring performances.

It's obvious that he doesn't have the luxury of working with a real Director, in this case...

 

[rogue trooper]

"I was wrong".

Glad you admit it.t:
