What did Frank Miller say about the failure of this movie?


the movie did horrible at the box office but it makes me wonder, What did Frank Miller thought about all of this?
Makes me wonder what he said or how he felt about his directing debut being so badly received.
Did he ever said anything?

I'll look down, and whisper no

probably the same defense he used for All Star Batman and Robin: "it was satire, people didnt get it".

I think he was too busy looking for a hole to dive into.

Basically , in a round about way.

* It's a parody , and no I did not say it's noir it's always been a parody.

* Its deep and Satirical.

* Your not smart enough to get it, I get it but you don't.

* I'm a genius surrounded by idiots.

* Needed more whores.

* The wouldn't let me put any scary Muslim's or leftist hippies in it.

* Whores, whores, whores.

* DK2 is better then Dark Knight returns and I was totally not high when I wrote it....

* Whores , whores, whores.

* Stop calling it Sin City lite.

* Alan Moore cursed the production, he's a Warlock in real life.

* *beep* you thats why *beep* it I'm cashing my cheque and going home.

It looks like someone left the asylum door unlocked again.

Mad..mad you say. I'm not mad, not according to my City . My City she loves me, she is good to me. My City feeds me, comforts me and according to the Spirit it takes me for walks and tells me bedtime stories if I'm a good little vigilante.

That's nice Sirus.

Now walk back inside with the nice men in white coats and they'll give you some cookies and milk before you have a long and much needed rest. The might even put The Spirit on television for you.

Acutally point of fact there was a Spirit pilot with the guy from Flash Gordon . It also had Ebony White but a more updated version of it. I saw it once on TV. It actually was pretty good if a touch Campy but it was the 90s after all.

He wasn't immortal but did survive near death.

Not bad at all.

No Octopus , I think that was a seductive Criminal mastermind and the Spirit had this cool hideout in the graveyard.

And yes , he lacked a borderline sexual fetish for his City.
