Re:Not really "The Spirit". (Score 1)

Tru dat. I loved Sin City, and I loved the Spirit--but they're entirely different genres. Anybody familiar with Eisner's Spirit knows that it wasn't some ultra-violent film noir kind of thing. It started off as being vaguely super-hero-ish, but over time, The Spirit became almost a supporting character. The stories were sort of little slice-of-life kinds of things, some humorous, some dramatic, some off-the-wall. However, they were not grim "My city screams" sorts of things. I'll end up seeing the movie anyway, but I know I'll be humphing my way through it, and afterward trying to explain to all my friends how the "Real" Spirit is nothing like the movie. Bleh.
