The Spirit and Other Miniature Spurts

While I can assure you that this little piece of ambiguous frustration will not have the eloquence of any of Miguel's rants, I still feel the need to type with my angry face. Grr (The noise my angry face makes [Yes, my angry face makes a noise.])

Where to start.... The movie The Spirit...

Well starting at the beginning... It started with cats.
What's up with that?
We joked that the cats were a bad sign.
Sadly we weren't joking.

Next came the random soliloquies.
I can understand a random aside, even Shakespeare used them, but he did something that the writer of this movie did not do: He made sure that they were appropriate for the situation. My favorite was when the protagonist was riding an elevator, and he was giving an excellent monologue to a villain that wasn't even present!

Towards the end we were shown the mentally-questionable detective with an assault rifle with about ninety-seven flashlights on it. I hope that was meant to be funny.
Just before the marvelous display of arms was the swarm of 50s-era police cars supported by about two platoons of Apache attack helicopters... Maybe I'm the only one who has a problem with that....

My favorite The Spirit comment...
A character's name was "Sand Serif" unless my ears deceive me. I am convinced the characters all called her Sans Serif.
Had a new character introduced herself as "Times New Roman" I am fairly sure I would have caused damage to the theatre...

All of my remaining comments today can be surmised in one phrase...

"Emo Safari"

And one picture...
