IMO, Frank Miller may have redeemed himself.

I wasn't as big a fan of Sin City as Hyperion (coff coff fanboy coff coff), but I have always wondered why an event like Thermopylae, chock full of historical significance and photogenic heroism, didn't get alot of cinema time, as opposed to Pearl Harbor (Micheal Bay, yay) or The Alamo. Apparently graphic novels, (I'm thinking V for Vendetta), are the new Hollywood well to draw from.
