Scarlett Johansson "actress"actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice, CHRISTIAN young lady.Original family didn't authorize any activity with stolen biomaterials,no matter what form it was created in,it's all need to be back to original family control in Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter in LA.Controlling clones is US military operation.Original Scarlett never was engaged,by the way

I don't think I've ever seen "Posts: 0" before. I guess the site generated reply to review posts don't count as a post.

Re: DVD Talk review of 'The Spirit: 2 Disc Special Edition'
That was a very generous review. If this film was not adapting a famous comic book or if it came out before Sin City, then maybe it could have been appreciated more.
But as a fan of Eisner and The Spirit, the film is an insult to the creator and the character. The Spirit comic was wacky, but Miller's interpretation of The Spirit wackiness was not a good representation. I would say that this film is more insulting than Joel Schumacher's Batmans, because Schumacher was just choosing to re-invent the cheesy Batman, but no one wanted to see cheesy Batman anymore...
I'm all for giving it another chance though - I would buy the DVD for $5...
I wonder how many people that didn't like the film will actually buy the DVD? It's that type of movie that DVD collectors are just gonna think "the video, audio, and the Sin City visuals are awesome just as is, so I will buy the DVD!"

I'm pretty easy on films generally, and was ready to once again defend Miller and like this film. But it was as bad as all the critics (except Bill) said.
But the more I think about how great Eisner and the Spirit were, the more it sickens me. I think this is the first movie that actually did that, it sickened me. I left the theater in physical and mental pain.
Here's what I wrote right after seeing the film, just to pile on some more. "Went into this fully hoping to be one of the dissenters and love the film.
Nope. Total pile of poo. A lot of the scenes and dialogue felt like they were first takes, most of the humor was completely unfunny, and I left the theater feeling like one of the greatest creations in comic history had been violently raped."

I feel like the one person who didn't hate it.
And I am actually pretty sure that I saw that spam on YouTube as a video comment.

Someone needs to tell this guy that "The Island" was just a movie!
