Any Frank Miller fans here?

That's pretty funny, coming from a guy most famous for writing and drawing funnybooks about guys in tights with names like "Batman". Nice crack about joining the military, too. I wonder when and for how long Miller himself served.

Plus, there was a distinct lack of people being called "wads".
 
Never heard of him. Sounds like a retard though.
 
Someones mad. :eye-poppi I'm not sure exactly what he's mad about. I'll admit I was initially confounded by the occupy wallstreet movement due to an apparent lack of direction (but the mission seems to have become clearer over time) but I didn't hear a valid criticism in his entire diatribe. Just a bunch of name calling and venom spewing. Seems he's gone off the deep end.

I loved his Sin City book but haven't actually read much of his work. Being a decent writer definitely doesn't save one from "the crazy".

He's an "acclaimed" writer. Mostly known for graphic novels. His most famous books were 300, Sin City (both translated to movies) and several dark Batman books.
 
Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy.

Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism.

And this enemy of mine — not of yours, apparently - must be getting a dark chuckle, if not an outright horselaugh - out of your vain, childish, self-destructive spectacle.

Frank Miller is totally unhinged. Thanks for sharing.

After I saw this, I looked the name up in google. Wikipedia refreshed my memory.

As you said, his blog entry is bereft of coherence. Why should we care what this guy says?

We shouldn't. It's just that crazy people are intriguing. Famous crazy people are seemingly more intriguing. :D
 
Sounds like somebody just totally jumped the shark.

He makes the big mistake of assuming that the OWS proptestors are all unemloyed and useless. He should be old enough to know better.

Dude needs to retire.

The vast majority of demonstrators are actually employed, and the proportion of protesters unemployed (15%) is within single digits of the national unemployment rate (9.1%).

A 2010 New York Times CBS News poll found that only 56% of members of the Tea party were employed (question 105).

This has to do with OWS, how?

Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism.

So the never served Miller imagines none of the OWS have served either?

And again, what does "al-Qaeda" or "Islamicism" have to do with OWS?
:confused:

Frank is on that slippery downhill road to Bobby Fischer town.
 
I expect Republicans to denounce him as yet another voice from Hollyweird offering up uninformed political commentary. Shut up and draw.

Yeah, right after they throw Dennis Miller and John Voight under the bus.
 
The top comment right now:

Dear Frank,
I used to be your biggest fan.

You're now dead to me.

After reading your blog and suffering through "Holy Terror," I don't ever need to pay money for your entertainment, again.

Holy Terror is a MESS. It's sloppy, pedantic, on the nose, silly and confusing. It doesn't make a clear point, at all, which is odd because it was obviously your purposed to make a point, not to tell a good story.

Remind me again which regiment you served with? Oh, right, you were drawing cartoons at the age of those Occupy folks you suggest should enlist. Because if there's one thing a soldier can look forward to these days, it's trusting that his/her superiors will send them to do the right thing and really get the job done.

Like eliminate Al Quaeda overseas. Good mission. The Marines and Army have done that.

Root out sleeper terrorists on American soil. Good idea. The FBI does that, and they do it, well.

So how should the rest of us fight terror? Oh, right, by not rocking the boat. Never complaining, just stewing in our anger and writing angry screeds online and in comic books. Gettin' the ol' job done, aren't we, Frank? Thank God we've got you on that wall, because we need you on that wall.

Remember the Frank Miller who donated to groups that supported creator-owned companies? The guy who printed "Give 'em an inch, they'll take a Mile" in big bold letters on the back cover of one of his books? He was talking about CORPORATIONS, not big government.

He was protesting corporations that exploit their workers.

Remember the Frank Miller that co-founded his own comic publishing company, Legend, and extolled the accomplishment of the Image comics founders who left the big bad Marvel all at the same time? You know, those guys who staged a...let's see, what's the term for it...oh, yeah, a...walkout. Just walked off their jobs, the lazy ****s! Gave the finger to that gracious corporation that so generously employed them and thousands of others, to go..."freelance." Yeccch. Just the word itself makes me feel grimy.

In short, just to be as clear as propaganda: the young Frank Miller would look at what you've aged into and be sick.

On a personal note, I've been trying to decide for months if I should sell my old Frank Miller comics to make some decent cash or save them to give to my nephew when he's old enough to appreciate them. I'd like to think that he would be as inspired by them as I was, that they might even change the course of his creative ambitions as they did for me.

**** it, I'm going to Ebay right now and unloading these tainted piles of crap. And I hope you're currently working on some new lunatic book so I can scoff at it as I buy other books by still relevant artists.

I wonder if John Byrne has become a right-wing psycho nutjob, too? Nah, he's Canadian and wayyy too nice a guy for that. But you never know, these days, you never know.
