Yikes. I'm five and a half weeks older than Frank Miller, and I look a hell of a lot healthier than he does. Must be all that good *a-hem!* hippie livin', Rob.  |

Miller is a little over 2 1/2 years older than me. Maybe if you beat me severely for extended periods every single day for the next 32 months* while depriving me of sleep & anything approaching nutrious sustenance, I'd look remotely as bad as him ...
... but probably not.
*Not that I want to give Cei-U! any ideas here ...

Dan, I'm getting the feeling that you don't like Frank Miller.

Well it's that lack of drinking excessively and (if memory serves me right) being a non smoker that keeps you young and human looking Dan. |

Dan, I'm getting the feeling that you don't like Frank Miller. If Miller, Mark Millar, Dave Sim & ... shifiting fields of creativity for a moment ... Quentin Tarantino were all lying in front of me in flames, I'd probably have a nervous breakdown deciding which one to pour gasoline on first. |

They way you sculpt a post of hatred into a work of art is a sight to behold, Dan. I salute you, sir! |

For the record, I feel the flames of hatred start to ignite every time I hear a Burl Ives song. I'm not sure why. So I can relate to Dan's hatred of Miller.

His death in Desparado is the only reason his presence in a great movie is tolerable Edit: In fact just for the reason that Hard Goodbye became a movie, and Mickey Rourke ended up surpassing the character that Miller wrote himself, I can even muster hatred for Miller. |

I saw Sin City: A Dame to Kill For yesterday and I thought it was pretty awesome. I laughed a lot. (I think you're supposed to laugh. I was the only one laughing.)
But then, I loved The Spirit.
And I think Tarantino is on a roll with four great movies in a row: Kill Bill 1 & 2, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. Really looking forward to The Hateful Eight.
So, my opinion on the new Sin City, you should probably take that with a grain of salt. |

I tend to despise despicable human beings, I've found, though obviously others find them charming & like to give them money or whatever. Just one of my quirks, I guess.
Doesn't matter, of course -- they all end up crying all the way to the bank ... though at least every now & then justice (or something like it) happens & one of them ends up looking like a rancid piece of fungus (Miller).
Add Orson Scott Card, of course, to my list above. And also the sf author who calls himself by the spectacularly absurd name Vox Day, though I doubt very many people know who that detestable vermin is; I certainly didn't till recently.

Just make it rain and avoid that nervous breakdown for yourself I was thinking about buying a bigger gas can instead. |

Can't remember who it was, exactly -- possibly Irwin Silber, who I think did Sing Out! magazine or something similar -- who remarked on how impressive it was that Ives was able to sing while crawling on his hands & knees to name names to the House Unamerican Activities Committee back in the '50s. (Of course, Jackie Robinson did the same in bowing & scraping in order to defame Paul Robeson to the committee. Those were terrible times, & quite a few people we think of as heroes apparently turned out to have moral cores made largely of reeking, rotting garbage. I really hate it when that happens.) |
