omg. just now on TV i saw the first real trailer for The Punisher... and despite the "MARVEL" logo at the beginning, they're selling this thing more like A Man Apart type of theme (i.e. guy loses family/wife;seeks revenge on those responsible - which really is the Punisher origin at its core) rather than pushing another "comic book" feature film. i dunno whether this is the way to go w/it or not. too early to tell... but at least it's rated-R! yeehaw... finally a Marvel-licensed flick w/some teeth. here's to hoping it's a decent flick. oh damn, it opens in 1 month! crimeny. that makes 3 must-see flicks in the next month. yep, i'm such a geek.
