Yes, with you - For example - have you seen Sin City - Awesome! Under the guise of 'Pulp', Millar had made a modern cowboy film about how you make moral choices when there is no external law. A must see - but I think Mothers against everything wouldn't approve. By and large I am not a film buff - love visual art and music. In all artforms discernment is the key and you have to be equiped with a bit more than prickly moral outrage.

the link to the guys arts website is worth exploring.

kind regards.

I was watching a program concerning comics some time back - a couple years ago - and one of the giants of the industry - John Buscema I believe it was but I could be wrong - stated that Frank Miller would be great except for the fact he hates comics. He did not elaborate but it was an interesting comment. I loved Miller's take on the Batman when he did The Dark Knight Returns. His latest, Batman comes back again after a five year absence, is too political and anti-conservative.

I thought Sin City was astonishing visually, but to be honest, it was one of the most depressing filmgoing experiences of my life. I love action movies, so it's not the violence--among my favorite movies ever are The Wild Bunch, Heat, Seven and Apocalypse Now.

But Sin City, as stunning-looking as it was, was repetitive garbage, plot-wise. How many times am I supposed to enjoy seeing a man's private parts shot or crushed in one movie? I sat in the theater during the umpteenth killing and wondered if there was ever going to be a plot in this stupid thing.

Frank Miller isn't much of a conservative. Don't read too much into his work.
