The Spirit is a 2008 American neo-noir superhero film, written and directed by Frank Miller and starring Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Dan Lauria, Paz Vega, Jaime King, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson. The film is based on the newspaper comic strip The Spirit by Will Eisner. OddLot and Lionsgate produced the film.
The Spirit was released in the United States on December 25, 2008, and on DVD and Blu-ray on April 14, 2009. The film was a box office flop and received negative reviews, with critics citing its unnecessary humor; melodramatic acting and style; lack of originality; sexist, exploitative overtones; and the stark divergence from the source material.
In a cat-filled mausoleum in Central City, Denny Colt, also known as The Spirit, receives a call from Detective Sussman about a major case that could involve the Spirit's arch-nemesis, The Octopus. The Spirit dons his costume and travels across rooftops while delivering a voice-over soliloquy about the city being his one true love. A woman (Kimberly Cox) is being mugged in an alley below. He manages to save her, receiving a knife wound that he barely seems to notice. The woman asks, "What are you?", with an arriving officer answering, "That's The Spirit". The Spirit runs away, catching a ride from Officer Liebowitz and heading toward the flats.

While I was in Sweden the weather was extremely sunny and nice, so this was a sign that we need another festival, and that's how I decided to go to Indian Spirit in Germany, and Im really glad I did!!! :) I wasn't thinking to make a video out of this festival, was more focused on taking photos (you can check them on photos section) but I couldn't help myself of shooting some video after all (its a festival!!) so I managed to create this short one ;) Feel free to tag any friends you see ;) It was quite strange the stage "thing", opening a new stage every 2 days, with a total of 3 stages, but in the end it was fun, anticipation everyday for what we shall experience in the next stage... ;) The music was not full on but more psy progressive, but I liked it. And met some reaaaaaaaaaaa...
"The fight's gone out of me. I'm ready for you, Lorelei. Come. Come. Come. Come. Come. It is time. Come. Come. No more pain. No more suffering. Give up the last of it, Denny. Give up the ghost. Give up the spirit. Yes, my darling. Yes. No. It is done. It is done. It is done. What's it they say about when you die... ...about your whole life flashing before your eyes? Forget all that. All I see are women. My sweet Ellen, always there to put my ragged pieces back together. And Sand. That poor lost soul. Beautiful, beautiful Sand. It's so funny my last thought would be of Sand. No. Lorelei, you're not for me just yet. No, not again. They need me. I gotta go back. I will always be with you, Denny Colt. You won't escape me forever."
The billion-dollar aircraft was taking off with three others on their last flight out of Guam after a four-month deployment, part of a continuous U.S. bomber presence in the western Pacific. After the crash, the other three bombers were being kept on Guam, said Maj. Eric Hilliard at Hickham Air Force Base in Hawaii. There are only 21 B-2 stealth bombers in existence (20 now). The final report into the crash of a B-2 Spirit bomber belonging to the United States Air Force (USAF) in Guam has determined that the crash was caused by moisture on sensors which caused the jet to receive inaccurate data. It was the first loss of a B-2, which costs US$1.4 billion (in the top 10 mishaps of all time). Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332038,00.html#ixzz1AO1QQVh1 http://www.usato...
