		Miller even went so far as to include references to Spartan leader King Leonidas and The Hot Gates, the Aegean cliffs where his men made their last stand, in the Sin City novel The Big Fat Kill.
		It's a particularly important distinction in Miller's work because comic books are particularly notorious for their loose adherence to the laws of mortality; characters die and are reborn as often as those in soap operas, often with as much disregard for history, logic, or basic common sense.
		Miller has another Sin City movie on the horizon as well as a new graphic novel that will surely be even more political and even more hotly debated: a Batman story where the Caped Crusader takes on Osama Bin Laden.

	Frank the Monkey. The Entertainment Guide for Dublin
		Frank Miller’s latest film adaptation sees the action take place in ancient Greece, as 300 Spartan warriors take on Xerxes’ Persian hordes in a bid to defend their honour and their freedom.
		Changes from history were made by Miller and Snyder so as to appeal to a wider audience and create a more exciting and visually stunning action movie, rather than a typical historical epic.
		Frank Miller was inspired by the original Battle of Thermopylae after viewing the 1962 film "The 300 Spartans" as a child.

	The University Star (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This was creator Frank Miller's 1998 response, published in the letters section of Just Another Saturday Night, to fan Michael McClelland's qualm over a rumor he heard, fearful that theatrical adaptations only "suck the souls out of comics." Miller's answer no longer holds water, obviously, with Sin City released this past weekend.
		Miller, as the guest screenwriter of the two forgettable Robocop sequels in the early 1990s, left the business betrayed, his butchered scripts mere skeletons of the ideas and subplots he had originally planned.
		Before even garnering the rights to make the movie, the director secretly shot what would be the intro, showing it to Miller with the guarantee that if he disliked his work, he could keep the piece to show to friends, and the film would not be made.

	Moviehole.net - Interview : Frank Miller
		FRANK MILLER: My book had been out for a few years; and it seems to be a story that every generation has to revisit, the same way “The Alamo” is. [Producers] Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton wanted to adapt my book.
		FRANK MILLER: A hero is someone who does the right thing for his tribe, for his honor and for his society because it is right and not to be rewarded in any material sense or to even be given credit of any kind.
		FRANK MILLER: Absolutely, and it is ironic that a tribe that was as tyrannical to so many of their subjects was also a fountainhead of freedom, but those were times full of irony.

		That's because when Rodriguez first decided to bring the graphic novels by Frank Miller to the big screen, he chose to lift many of the images and accompanying dialogue exactly as they appeared on the page, with scarcely any changes in the angles or lighting that defined these individual panels.
		In fact, Rodriguez felt that Miller's contributions were so important to the finished motion picture, he insisted the artist receive a co-directing credit -- and then resigned from the Directors Guild of America when the organization wouldn't allow it.
		The characters, meanwhile, are the perfect archetypes for this sort of pulpy material: The femme fatales are opinionated and independent, and you can tell the "good" criminals from the "bad" ones by the manner in which they place their own lives on the line in the service of others.

	Metroland Online - Movie Reviews
		Miller’s influence, as the author- illustrator of the milestone 1986 graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, is all over Tim Burton’s Batman, though he’s totally uncredited; and his screenplay for Robocop 2 resulted in a movie so atrocious that he vowed never to allow his stuff to be filmed again.
		Sin City, based on Miller’s comic series of the same name, got made only through the perseverance of codirector Robert Rodriguez, who courted Miller with a self-funded short film faithful enough to the original that Miller relented and gave the go-ahead.
		Rodriguez was so dedicated to honoring Miller’s vision that in order to share credit he resigned from the Director’s Guild of America to circumvent the guild’s one-director rule.

		After a crooked politician is murdered in a gang hit, Dwight and Miho go searching for the killer.
		Frank Miller was at the top of his game with this graphic novel.
		Originally scheduled to be a new mini series, Miller decided to release it as an OGN because in his words, his audience was "literate enough to handle a story meant to be read in one sitting." I think this was probably in my top 2-3 favorite Sin City stories.

	Mark Crispin Miller
		The fact that they did not, but kept on treating this Bush as a god - even after he began descending in the polls, and notwithstanding the abundant evidence that he was not at all divine but barely human - makes it quite clear that the press was transformed big-time by the shock of 9/11.
		Such frank cosmetic touches are, to put it mildly, un-American, more reminiscent of the cult of Stalin than of anything in US journalistic history.
		Miller is quoted as saying, "One of the reasons I reproduce such long exchanges with journalists such as Chris Matthews and Bill O'Reilly is to show their unthinking complicity in putting President Bush across."

	Salt Lake City Weekly - Strike a Pose
		It was an experiment in re-creating the language of panel-art literature for the screen, and a lot of the time, it was pretty freaking awesome.
		Miller took as his starting point the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, when an invading Persian army led by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) threatened Greece with enslavement.
		With Frank Miller serving as executive producer, Snyder clearly embraces the Sin City blueprint for satisfying the comic-book audience base.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Reel
		Miller took advantage of "300's" double-page spread format to create not just picturesque settings, but also incredibly dynamic angles, poses, actions and beautifully rendered ultra-violence -- the best of which are recreated perfectly in the film.
		As in Miller's graphic novel, Xerxes and the Persian Empire are portrayed as basically mythical; a fearsome force of nature that blankets the world as easily as day turns into night.
		Miller told beautifully (and perhaps even definitively) the story of the Battle of Thermopylae from the point of view of the Spartans, and it is an incredible tale.

		Webb, 60, referred to [his Jewish primary opponent Harris] Miller in a televised debate as ''the anti-Christ of outsourcing,''...
		Also, a Webb flier contained a caricature of Miller with a hooked nose and cash spilling from his pockets.
		Combine this with the irrational hatred of the Kossites for Joe Lieberman (as compared to a half-dozen Democratic senators running for reelection who vote the party line far less often), and with the fact that my Democratic representative blames the Iraq war on the Jews, and it's amazing any Jews are still Democrats.

		That Yellow Bastard is the proof that Frank Miller gives as to why the enduring heroes in Sin City such as Marv, Dwight, and Miho aren't heroes at all, but merely grim reflections of the city that they live in.
		Frank Miller reinvented the quintessential comic book superheroes Batman and Daredevil, and he even created the enduring character Elektra in the Daredevil books.
		Frank Miller gave noir a new, gritty face with the "Sin City" series, and his favorite is reportedly "That Yellow Bastard.

	TheStar.com - entertainment - '300': Full-bore gore
		The movie, which opens today, is based on the five-issue miniseries by comics legend Frank Miller (Sin City), which was originally published in 1999.
		Miller has said he based the story on the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, which he saw as a kid.
		In bringing Frank Miller's graphic novel about the ancient Battle of Thermopylae to the screen, Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead remake) has demonstrated the kind of fidelity that could earn him an eternity ring, were such girly-man behaviour tolerated.

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: "Sin City": Bad guys never looked so good
		The hard-boiled, mostly fl-and-white underworld of Miller's pulp-fictional Basin City is occasionally punctuated by vivid jolts of color.
		Rodriguez and Miller honor the style and syntax of comics as gleaned from the medium's ongoing evolution: Brutish thugs punch with sudden, bone-shattering impact (you can almost read "Ker-raccckkk!!" on screen); blood spatters with artful precision; rain falls in horizontal streaks; cars careen exactly the way comic-book cars are supposed to.
		That's no crime, of course, but while the all-star cast is in fine form, Rodriguez and Miller are obviously catering to a juvenile mindset, and they're not entirely successful in weaving a satisfying yarn from three separate threads.

		Much slow-motion fighting with bloodshed, impalings, and decapitations, an adulterous episode with an implied rough sexual encounter, brief upper female and rear nudity, innuendo, some exotic dancing with a lesbian kiss during a brief orgy sequence, skimpy male attire throughout.
		Back home, Sparta's Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) futilely attempts to sway a corrupt politician, Theron (Dominic West), with influence in the Spartan Council to bolster her husband's troops, even allowing him sexual favors.
		With the graphic novel of Frank Miller ("Sin City") as a springboard, director and co-writer Zack Snyder takes a highly stylized approach.
