Yes, it may have been predictable at times, and it is unfortunate that the hero looks better with a mask on than with it off. But unlike Sin City, The Spirit was ready to admit that it is the bastard child of nerds with computers and nerds with comic books. And the cast was pretty impressive.
It was, of course, the only logical choice for Samuel L. Jackson to play the nefarious Octopus, and honestly I thought he could have been better. (I know, I know, Samuel L. is a God, I am a blasphemer.) Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes were devastatingly hot (firey?) (a fire?) as Silken Floss and Sand Serif. And Gabriel Macht. Oof, when his voice was all gravely and he had a tiny smile...his last name is a conjugated form of the German verb "to do" if that manages to explain anything. In real life though, he's blonde and not as hot without a mask pasted on. But don't get me wrong. I'd still let him touch it.
Other nice things include the sequined pieces from Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer 09 line. I know, the time for talking about S/S 09 has already passed, but since summer 09 still hasn't happened yet, I don't care and I'll talk about them anyway.
Things that sparkle are always good, but if you were mostly sparkles all over? Too good to be true.
Also, I can't help it, Hattie has infected me with her love of all things gray and sweatery.
Other good things that are gray include MacBook Pros and the new cat box I purchased today. Hopefully Talullah's litter won't stick to the bottom of my feet when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night anymore.
