Sin City (The Movie)

[Frustrated Father]

I went and saw the movie Sin City today and I have to say it is probably one of the more entertaining movies I have ever seen and highly recommend it as long as you aren\'t adverse to nudity, violence, extreme violence, some really nasty stuff violence and ... funny violence.

I found myself laughing my arse off at scenes that you know just aren\'t funny but you just can\'t believe they put it on screen, or more to the point, the circumstances that led up to it. I found myself chuckling and saying \'damn\' outloud more than once.

(shaking head and still laughing about the face on asphalt car driving scene).

Oh, and they have something against genitals in this movie ... you\'ll know when you see it.

The whole drawn backgrounds/rain/dark aspect with a bit of color thrown into it really was well done too. I expect this will be one of those talked about movies for a long time.

Anyhow, plan on seeing it again with the wife here next week as she\'s mad at me for seeing it (hey, she\'s out of town) and I certainly think it is well worth it.

Marv was the best ..

You are one guy I would believe FF- we seem to have similar tastes. Its on my to see real friggin soon list. Can\'t wait. So they actually try and keep it to the book huh?

 

[No Such Agency]

Yeah, I heard about the genitals thing... yeek!

Annoyingly, the only place it\'s playing here in Guelph is waaaaaay on the outskirts at the other end of town, and consequently almost impossible for me to get to w/o a car. I might have to try and see it in TO soon, I don\'t want to miss this one!

I can\'t wait to go see this. The previews kick ass. Just 1 more day till I can see it.

 

[freakinacage]

saw the preview when watching constantine on fri night. it looked like one of those films that will rule or totally suck. look foreward to seeing it now

Dude, if you\'re coming to TO, the wife and I are seeing it next saturday. You got my #.

Wooo! I saw it on Saturday. I loved it. The dark /sarcasimal humour was great. The jump around timeline confused me there at the end, but that\'s ok. Just means I\'ll have to watch it again to figure it out!

...and, its really too bad they couldn\'t get some better looking chicks for this movie

 

[erikvupes]

isn\'t Jessica Alba in this movie? She is not too bad! Maybe you were being sarcastic.?

 

[Frustrated Father]

Yes that was sarcastic in the extreme - some damn nice hard bodies in that movie.

Still, Marv kicks ass.

 

[erikvupes]

Oh good.... I was thinking everybody has to think she is hot too.

She looks good in the Fantastic Four movie coming out too.

Thanks for getting my back on that one FF- it kind of goes without saying thoughlollollol
Sorry new guy- brace yourself for what we say around here- is pretty out there some days, don\'t take ANYTHING seriously Welcome erikv, have fun in the pumkin patch.

 

[erikvupes]

thats good. I\'m usually not too serious about stuff myself.

 

[SaxonAngel]

odd...

No-one has mentioned how accurate it is vs. the comics.

The only cinemas here in the G-spot are the Cineplex at the mall (near my house), the shitty \"3-star\", the rep cinema downtown, and the Galaxy at the other end of town (very very far, and also where \"Sin city\" is playing). Surprisingly far for a \"small\" town in fact but it\'s really just that if I\'m going to spend >45 minutes on the bus, I might as well catch a greyhound to Toronto (1 hour) and hang with my friends there.

@Saxon - I haven\'t read the comics but I liked Miller\'s Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One books. He\'s got a dark, dark vision of what a hero really is, and he had it back when Spawn was but a doodle in teenage Todd McFarlane\'s schoolbooks. From what I\'ve heard the movie is pretty faithful to the comics, though it actually interweaves the stories from four separate series.

 

[erikvupes]

I don\'t know if I have ever read Sin City. I get it confused with Hard Boiled, another of Frank Miller\'s very dark work.

Frank Miller\'s versions of Batman are among the best out there, as is his version of Daredevil. He is definately one of the best writers.
