THE SPIRIT premieres in Madrid
Last night, there was apparently a premiere of THE SPIRIT at a “benefit cocktail” in Madrid. We’re not sure what a “benefit cocktail” is, but many cocktails have great benefits, so we guess it makes sense. While we’re waiting for the reviews, here’s a photo of actresses Sandra Ibarra, Paz Vega, Scarlett Johansson, and Eva Mendes and director Frank Miller.

Paz Vega? I thought it was Penelope Cruz!

Taking a close look at the fashion photos (dirty job, I know… yes, yes, I’ll go blind…) it seems the benefit was for Fundacion Sandra Ibarra, a cancer charity in Spain.
And don’t you just love that stylish pose of Mr. Miller? It reminds one of a convention photo of a fanboy posed next to a celebrity.

Nice of Frank to wear his best jeans and tennis shoes for the occasion.
Looking good, my man!

Which one’s Frank?

I think a “benefit cocktail” is what you drink to take the edge off of seeing The Spirit movie.

Frank’s the one who can’t direct.

I’m sorry, thought this was the Beat. I think I hit the Newsarama button by mistake.
I, for one, am incredibly jealous of Frank Miller. He brought on a pool of talent that will surely garner interest, box office smash or not. It may not be the next Dark Knight, but I doubt it’ll be Hancock either. I guess we’ll see in a few weeks.

How about the next Roger Corman FF movie?

Peter - “It may not be the next Dark Knight.”
That’s the damn problem, it’s not “The Dark Knight,” but Miller is treating the source material as if it were with a giant ham fist.

Frank looks like a pimp in that outfit.

That remains to be seen Larry. Have you seen the film yet?

That look wouldn’t be so bad if he would just get a goddamn jacket that would actually fit. He always looks like he’s wearing his father’s clothes.

Nah, I haven’t seen the movie. But I saw numerous trailers and posters, Coat. If Miller screwed up the tone of what I’ve already seen, what makes you think the rest of the film will be so different? Going “Dark Knight” or “Sin City” on the light-hearted noir of “The Spirit” is like Spidey without his sense of humor. It’s all wrong.

How’d Roger Glover get in the picture?

Maybe they’re figuring this will be the best publicity The Spirit will get, so, get some early, before the movie reviews!

Wheres the main attraction? The guy playing the spirit is hot!!
12/4/08 at 5:49 am
mmm Paz Vega

This pic is like one of those “one of these things don’t belong here” pictures.

Total man child right there…goodness.

I’m sorry for this but…… If I was out with those 4 beauties, I’d make a better effort with my appearance. I can’t be the only guy thinknig that!
