There is not a font big enough for the OH, FRANK! I am feeling at the moment.

From SHH's description of Frank Miller's The Spirit. "Police officer Denny Colt is nearly killed by a bullet wound but awakens to find himself in 'a new reality,' able to do things he couldn't before." Soon he meets DCI Gene Hunt, with whom he solves case with 21st century... wait, no.

"In addition to incredible endurance, Colt's pheromones have been altered, causing mutual attraction between himself and any woman he meets."

...

Wait, that's...

...

I mean, how...

...

But that's just...

...

I MEAN!!!



Frank Miller has just trolled every feminist who ever complained about female superhumans with the power of seduction. Hold on a second, let me square things around...

"In addition to incredible endurance, Colt's pheromones have been altered, causing mutual attraction between himself and any woman he meets. Colt has become a conservative, whose virile sex drive overpowers the libido of any woman he meets with sheer love of fiscal responsibility and military readiness."

There, now I feel sane again.

I'm...I...what...I...

Was...was this even a part of the original The Spirit character? I'm not familiar with it...

NO. FRANK MILLER INVENTED THIS IN HIS MIND.

I think originally the Spirit was just a hot bitch who had plenty of women throwing themselves at him, for various values of "throwing themselves at him".

Actually it's quite common for people who've been shot to spontaneously start sweating roofies - evolutionary psychology says that it's so that injured men can attracted a smexy male orderly competent and proactive women who'll protect the injured man whore who will protect him from his own seriously warped and repressed sexuality Pope Ratzinger predators.

Am I the only one fearing Krazy Komedy Hijinks?

That made me laugh far too hard, oh gosh. Fantastic.

AND OH, FRANK! I am utterly amused by that. I won't lie.

I feel like Frank Miller is our world's equivalent of the Nolanverse Joker. He's just been... spontaneously generated by the comic book industry's wank and craziness. If you shot him, he'd just draw upon Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther run and regenerate like the T-1000.

...TRUFAX!

What the fuck?! Seriously! I can't decide if this is offensive or hilarious. Both, probably.

Offensively hilarious... or hilariously offensive?

You know what, instead of making those awful Scary Movie/Epic Movie/Disaster Movie movies, studios should just give money to Frank Miller. Whatever he comes up with will make just as much sense and be a great deal funnier.

A friend's reaction to The Spirit trailer was "I had no idea there were so many *whores* in The Spirit." Because, well ... you know (http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060207.html).

Needless to say, this is one superhero movie I will be skipping.

Actually, just about everyone used up all their "whores" jokes when the teaser came out. I, for one, decided to save it until a trailer with actual whores.
