He's reached 'Peak Opinion'.

wired:> Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the sequel to the 2005 blockbuster that represents his last artistic and commercial success
300 was 2006, was that not successful?

i would say less so critically/artistically

> Zack Snyder's meticulous adaptation of 300 earned $456 million
sounds ok to me. i guess fm was less involved in the film but i'd still count that as his work and a success.
i didn't know about the spirit or the batman book that was immediately after it.
did just re-read DKR though and it felt like meeting an old friend.

I'm planning to reread his (and nocenti's!) run on DD pretty soon. Psyched tbh. But idk if I'll ever revisit DKR.
― von Daniken Donuts (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 16:29 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I was never particularly enthused with TDKR. Don't really get the hype (or at least the proportion of the hype). Year One is pretty great, though. And I do dig what I've read of his DD run (which I guess I'll also be reading in its entirety soon enough).

Meanwhile, the Syfy network has announced a series based on Ronin,
omg please no

sadly, probably won't be as good as Samurai Jack
― Nhex, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
But it'll be at least as good as Lavalantula, I'd think.

Not much is as good as samurai jack tbh.

Is it too nosy to ask whether something's wrong with Miller? Like, does he have a chronic disease or something? I know he's always been thin, but those recent Comic Con pics look do indeed look worrisome.

see Ward's post.
― Starland Vocal Gland (sic), Thursday, 25 September 2014 07:26 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I read that article, but it only has a short allusion to some vague rumours to explain his health. I guess it could be drugs, but it's kinda hard to imagine someone with a worldview like Miller's doing drugs... Though who knows?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 25 September 2014 07:43 (nine years ago) link
I'm assuming there's the usual loophole where alcohol's not a drug?
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 25 September 2014 08:41 (nine years ago) link
I guess you shouldn't generalize, but in my experience alcoholics tend to look bloated, not gaunt.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 25 September 2014 09:32 (nine years ago) link
yeah, that's not really true overall

They probably had a poster of a cat hanging in there to counterbalance.

Jesus, Miller looks 87, not 57. I don't much care for the man and his work now, but that is a shocking decline in the six years since this picture was taken.
