    Look out! It's Mr. Glass!
  • Floppy
    IT'LL GET YA DRUNK! Okay, just had to get that out of my system.
  • Jack M.
    As long as he says motherf**ker in this film, I'm all for it.
  • Christopher Marc
    I just hope Miller sticks with the bright colors that were in the leaked photos...Will Eisner envisioned a colorful world, If anyone has checked out original artwork...



    Lionsgate is going to have start their aggressive marketing campaign soon....because the interest from the average person is very low..it might be another "Speed Racer"..I think Miller's name and 300/Sin City titles used the trailers are going to push this flick...besides that people have no idea what the Spirit is...it's kind of like what happened with "Dick Tracy", "the Shadow" and "the Phantom"...all movies are similar to it...and nobody knew or cared about the characters
  • john
    is Samuel L Jackson in EVERY FILM????????????
  • big daddy
    i saw the trailer for spirit in front of iron man, and im not too sure.. its kinda sorta just like sin city. and i think miller needs to change his font.. but sam jackson is the shit
  • The Octopus is not supposed to show his face. :(

    Just posted this on my Spirit site.
  • Chad
    In the image, what's up with the letters in the word "Comic" being cut off/up?

    @ jack

    i've seem ironman twice in the theaters now, and both times when sam jackson comes on at the end for his nick fury cameo, the audiences have started to laugh outloud (several friends of mine have experienced the same thing) and while i'm still not sold on the direction marvel has chosen to go with the black nick fury, i at least wish they would've gone with someone other than SJ. you can't really take the guy serious anymore, and fury is a hard-ass-tough-as-nails guy: he's the definition of serious, while sam jackson has sadly become a parody of a badass.
  • skaught
    put sam jackson in a fur coat and he's acting in your movie.
  • cellchild
    Where is PETA?
  • Brian
    Sam Jackson needs to slow the fuck down.
  • Floppy
    What does People Eating Tasty Animals have to do with this?
  • 790
    I'm so sick of this guy, does he have to be in every motherfucking movie wtf.

    Smeg off Jackhole.

    Sick of looking at ya freak.
  • big daddy
    @ 790

    I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brother Samuel L Jackson.
  • 790
    Big Daddy, didn't I like kick you ass for sport in Bioshock?

    Like 20 times ......
  • Floppy
    ba-dum-ch
  • big daddy
    thats not me, i dont like little girls, or needles.. but i will still strike down upon thee.
  • 790
    Lol Big Daddy. ;-)

    Still I don't like Jackson.
    Sucks now that he's Nick Fury.
    I swear besides Iron Man 2 starting today I'm boycotting all films that Jackson is in.

    Ha feel my power!!!!!
  • big daddy
    i went into iron man knowing there was going to be a sequel, but i totally forgot about sam jacksons appearance, and i left during the credits, i feel like a total ass now, and im going to go back twice for good measure
  • Floppy
    @ big daddy

    did you see everyones favorite twilight thread is flaring up again with teenage girl power speeches? sorry to be off topic.
  • big daddy
    the only reason i comment on that twilight thing is to mess with my friend who loves that crap, and to mess with those kids, its great fun
  • Floppy
    Right now would be a great time to stir the pot and I'm really tempted to mess with them but what is really funny is they're starting to fight amongst themselves.
  • big daddy
    yeah, what more can you expect from a bunch of hormonal teen girls
