Since this movie wont hit UK theaters till August, I can only wait impatiently. *groans*

June 3rd for the UK, actually. Same week as The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse and Kung-Fu Hustle. Good week. Would have been an even better week, but Nightwatch (the Russian fantasy thing that Tarantino said was his favourite film of last year alongside Shaun of the Dead) just got booted to October.

Still damned irritating we have to wait two months, though…

I knew it.

‘Cause the last I heard is they moved it from June to August. Then if it is in June, that’s better than waiting till August.

I work at Miramax and saw a screening.

It’s really good. I know you all will enjoy it!

Jerry…have you been living under a rock, not only af airly well casting, from what I hear, and preveiws I’ve seen, an Amazing story line..off the WALL visual effects and jessica alba….this my friend…will not suck..

Ebert gave a grizzly over-the-top action film 4 stars. Need I say more??

Damn…!!! Jessica Alba looked so damn hot in this movie… I know im gonna see this movie again and again…

This movie sucked the sweat off a dead man’s balls. It was poorly acted and written, boring, and unentertaining. If you like this movie, you’re a retard.

Im anything BUT the religious right. This movies total unrespect for females, including, but not limited to, the violence acted out and portrayed on every female in the movie, preying on women’s worst fears and blantent sexism and misyogny sickened me. This movie is for a twisted teenage boy, and I dont think that it should have ever been produced. There is enough violence and hatred in this world WITHOUT this movie!

“This movie sucked the sweat off a dead man’s balls.”

i missed that part

ill have to see it again

but im a retard, what do i know

I hated this movie. There are so many high profile actors and so little acting. In place of an actual story line was gratuitous violence. I walked out of this movie and demanded my money back. What a waste of time. Quentin Terintino has absolutely no talent. I fail to understand how anyone can see this as anything but his sick and twisted mind being expressed on the big screen for people without any sense of individuality to cling to for an identity. You could feel the absolute unnerving feeling from everyone in the room. The guy next to me was drunk. He had the right idea, the only way I could ever make it through that abomination again would be if I were totally wasted. If this is the state of movies to come-I going to start reading more books.

Sin City was honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. I will admit I have no clue who Frank Miller is~ or what the movie was about before I got there. I think about 10 people walked out within the first 30 mins…I wish I was one of them. I am not a comic buff…but I can appreciate a good story and interesting special effects. This movie has no plot really- I didn’t understand most of the movie, and the people I went with didn’t get it either. Please don’t waste your money on this film- it was like torture having to sit there debating on whether to leave or not. Believe me- the story does not get better as it get towards the end.

Religious Right or not, no amount of yelling from Evangelicals or Feminist groups is going to change this fact: Western Culture is currently more obsessed with sexual degeneration and bloody, violent dismemberment than the Ancient Romans. Fifty years ago, you either had to be a cop, personally involved in organized crime, or in the military during wartime to see the kind of vile garbage that is currently piped into the theaters and telescreens of America on a daily basis. A whole lot of people call this transformation “liberation.” Some people, probably ones over fifty, might refer to it as degeneration.

You decide.

If you look around, and recall times past, you may notice that in recent years, musicians have become less and less talented, and are now either manufactured sex puppets who don’t write their own lyrics, or obscure social outcasts that can play guitar, but only know how to scream into the microphone like rabies-infected Gorillas. Everywhere the culutre bombards us with sexualizing propaganda, suggests that women are barely more than blowup dolls that move and talk, and increasingly decides that ANY form of public expression, no matter how disgusting, debasing, or evil (yes THAT word), should be tolerated by all for the sake of free speech.

Countless people say “If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.” Alright, lets say I manage to get major theaters to release a film of mine that basically drags all of THEIR deepest-held values and beliefs through a mile-long mud trench, and then takes a huge, diarrheal dump all over them before lighting them on fire. If, after that, they don’t call for my lynching, I’ll commend them for being blindly devoted to tolerance, even if it means the destruction (or at least the significant weakening) of their culture. If they do, I’ll say “Now ya’ll know how us Evil Right-Wing Fundamentalist Christo-Fascists feel.”

By way of clarification, I loved “The Untouchables”

It was, however, far more violent than any of the dramas on television today.

It is extremely easy to look at the old days with rose tinted lenses, but were they really that good? Would you really want to live in an era or be around when the following events took place?

1) In 1939-1945 an Austrian man decided he wanted to run the world and in the process killed over 6-million Jewish people and millions of American, British & French soldiers.

2) In August 1945 the Americans dropped an Atomic bomb on Hiroshima killing millions of innocent Japenese. This was done to speed up Japans exit from the war and was also seen as the perfect time to TEST the A-bomb!!!!

3) In 1964 the Americans enter into a war with Vietnam that lasts 11-years. Millions of American and Vietnamese are killed and injured.

4) In 1919 the British gathered a group of 50-soldiers in the Punjab area of Amritsar. Once gathered they fired 1650 rounds of amunition killing 349 and injuring a further 1500 Punjabs silently protesting against British rule!

5) After the passing of the Prohibition act in America, alcohol became the biggest black market entity in the states. American gangsters grew from this. As rivalrys grew over 500-men were killed between 1926 and 1929 culmivating in the St Valentines day massacre of 1929.

That is not to metion the following: -

1) The rise of the KKK and their subsequent racial, political and homophobic abuse and killings.
2) The Krays and London gangland violence, protection rackets!
3) Numerous wars and atrocities in africa, including racial “clensing” and political murders.

The list could go on and on. And not all the people involved were cops, soldiers or gangsters. Hundreds and thousnads of innocent people were killed or injured by these events. Many people witness these events with there on eyes!

The world has always been, for many people, a terrible place to be. We in the Western world have not seen the half of it! Thanks to us, millions and millions of people in Africa, Asia, Middle East and even South America are dying and suffering!

Yes todays world is a bad place. Yes drugs, paediphilia, rape, gun culture is on the increase. Yes the internet does aid criminals and sicko’s. I lock my doors, I don’t leave things lying around, I dont allow my girlfriend to walk around late at night on her own. Does world is scary.

Film does show all the above, in the extremes. Film does portray killing, rape, drug taking. But is film to blame for all that is wrong with the world? When films were not as graphic as they are today, when the world was supposidly a better place, what made people commit the acts that are noted above? What was to blame then?

Surely our leaders should shoulder a lot of the blame? When governments and politicians set the sort of examples in the past that are noted above. When they justify killing and hurt in the name of “war”. When they have allowed / continually allow the atrocities and desolation to take place throughout the world. What sort of example has that / does that set to people of today?

I could go on for ever, because as much as film sometimes crosses a line it maybe shouldn’t cross, to blame it for all that is bad is such a narrow minded view and opinion!

FINALLY THE END!

what happened to movies that don’t need senseless violence to drive a story? Or is violence used in this case in place of a lackluster or non-existent plot? Maybe it worked for a comic, but it did not pass for a movie.

I guess the point of this is that everyone in Sin City is rotten. Ooo haven’t heard that one before. Problem is, that means I don’t care for any of the characters. They’re all trash, people I don’t feel bad for or want to know. Victims of their own circumstances. I wanted Marv to die way before he finally did. In fact, I’d hoped this pathetic movie ended completely at that point. Put it out of it’s nihlistic misery.

My eyes glaze over the violence. zzzzz. it’s not entertaining, it’s not funny, it’s just plain lame and sadistic. Why are so many of you so into violence? Got nothing else to shock you anymore? Did the media tell you it was “cool”? ooo, blood! yay, senseless death and murder!! why do you need to be shocked to be entertained???

Get lives people. Get some taste while you’re at it, and some normal human emotions that are not influenced by movies and tv. You are not a victim of your society, just because others around you have low moral standards doesn’t mean you should sink to their level just to be liked. losers.

And just because you don’t understand what people write doesn’t make them elitist - it makes you stupid. Maybe you should read the Times more often. It’s only written at a 5th grade reading level - you might be able to handle it if you try real hard.

Damnation. Sorry for the spam. Was not in any way intentional. From an absolute Frank Miller and comic book fanatic, I can say this is the most honest comic book adaptation I have ever seen, and could hope to see. I’ve been waiting years to see a Return of the Dark Knight movie made, or even a batman: year one. But Warner Bros. are morons, and are making Batman Beings instead. I am impressed with Robert Rodriguez, and the casting director. Never have I seen so many big names in one picture. They all get great screen time, and all have stellar preformances.
As for the whole “violence” bitching I have been reading on here: Read the damn Sin City comics. Having already stated that this is a great adaptaion, you can already guess that the violence and all that was in the comics to begin with, and pulling no punches. I for one am glad that nothing was edited out. The film noir tribute was apparent in the comics, and brought to absolute life on the silver screen. I love this movie. Feel free to disagree with me; it is your right. But will I care? No. Not really.

This movie may have real visual quality, and moments of great violence, but the acting was awful!!!!!!!!! The dialogue was so stilted and fake-sounding. The dialogue is done so awful that you want to laugh or cry, but you end up annoyed. Not what I imagined at all. This movie is about as good as Dick Tracy 2.
Bruce Willis, is a damn good actor and his performance was great. The only problem was that Jessica Alba was pitiful, over acting/under acting, had no chemistry, lack of follow-through, no talent and most of all she can not act, therefore she made others acting generic because of the major contrast; steven Hawking could have done a better Nancy. She brought less value to willis’ performance and made it less effective. They should have substituted a broom stick for her. Alba, however was the worst, but she was not the only person who retarded and made this movie pathetic.
The females in this movie were carelessly casted, and taken from one teeny bopper-romantic-sleazy-millena TEEN movie (scream, Gilmore Girls, American Pie, ect.) and put in a role that was not qualified. The only 2 really good female actresses was Rosario Dawson and the ninja girl (who did not say a single word), these two carried the movie’s mood and style in great understanding.
The best damn character of the movie had to be Mickey Rourke, who looked and acted with a quality that contrasts much of the cast. Marv was a really strong character that had the tone of MTV’s THE MAXX. This movie was literally carried by the quality acting of Rourke. Willis was good, but Alba is so awful at acting that she vandalized the quality and performance of Bruce and the strength of other characters whom she interacted with.
The darkness and the artistic aspect was okay. There was way too much CGI and graphics. They used pointless special effects way too much. They did everything in CGI, even cars driving away or coming. This pointless use of graphics is real reminisent of AHHH..HEEEMmmm.. Spy Kids… There was benefits to having this movie in black and white they could do poorly and black out flaws. This movie was really over done and in said, was done impulsively.
The choices in cast was a real failure. Sin City is the type of movie that would appeal to those who were tired of reading the comic with one hand (attthem, men). The sleaze was abnormally accurate to what MOST men dream; subordinate females, skimpy out fits, helpless women, damsels, underwear clad, camel toe flashing, a girl who ’saves’ herself (looks 16 but they had to make it less pedophelic by suggesting she was 19) for a man who is in his 60’s. Yet, it is rich in “‘moral value’” when he tells the girl that he is in love with her and always was. Well in the beginning it shows this little girl at age 8… makes you think…
Overall, I got the best entertainment from the blackness of the movie. I can not remember the last time a black and white movie was interesting visually. It was a shame that most of the blood was not clear, or even red. This movie was overdone in every other part and used obvious computer graphics that were low in quality and sequential clarity, but they could not add a contrasting color to the blood. Why? because the blood was not even real in this movie.. Which the blood had a matte appearence and was not visually apparent in this movie. There was parts of violence, but all the best parts had a black screen and the character was filled in solid white, when brains were blown out and ninja scenes took place. The only total color that appeared in this movie was while Bruce was in the strip club; oh you get to see sleaze in full color nudity sex and riding but yet the violence is censored! This is ridiculous that the sexual and promiscuous aspects are bright and noticeable and embraced, but the violence that serves the main purpose of the comics to emphasize the horror of life in sin city. The ‘what it takes is balls’ comic theme is transformed into a really good interpritation for women to see how pathetic, annoying, nerdy, dillusional, conditioned (classically), and shallow many men are. The characters besides Rosario, the ninja girl, willis, Elijah, and Rourke, were chosen by a rising fallace. I mean Elijah Wood actually looked like a great and talented actor in this movie!!! Well then I must look at the caliber of ‘actor/resses’ and then it becomes obvious! The other people were asthetics (nice to look at), period. Yeah, many may say this movie was violent, yes it was, but you could not see the vast majority of it. Yeah, it was definitely sleazy and over the top sexual to a point of desensitization. The only emphasized coloration at all was mainly to show off women’s bodies and their helplessness; which manifests into all women being prostitutes. Nice!

Overall, I was expecting something comparable to kill bill I. I was expecting blood & guts in extreme detail. What I got was a softcore porn that made me want my money and 2 hours and 8 minutes of my life back.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.. UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE SUCKY ACTING especially ALBA and Brittany Murphy. Or you are horned up to see Alba dance on a pole like a sloppy and extremely unconvincing stripper. This movie is overrated, says something about men, and THE BAD ADAPTION OF COMICS TO FILM STILL SHOWS TO BE A FAILURE.

Courtney Love, would have played the best Nancy.
Fairuza Balk would have made the best Shellie.
Ani Defranco (barf) would have made a much more believable lesbian probation officer, rather than Carla Gugino’s fake breasts that do all the acting.
Then the girl from GILMORE GIRLS- what more is there to say “seventh heaven blah blah (sing it)” this just validates and seals the deal. The casting people chose all the worst actors from all the worst shows and teen movies. They went for asthetics over accuracy. They went for people that do not even look or have the capacity to act the parts. This was a major unethical representation of a classic graphic series. This movie…. was a crying shame… They should recall the movie and make it again.

I URGE YOU PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT, LUCKILY SEEN THIS MOVIE, TO SAVE THE 10+$$$$ AND WAIT TO BORROW IT. GO TO A MUSEUM FOR VISUAL QUALITY, AT LEAST IN PAINTINGS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PITIFUL ACTING. tHE VISUAL QUALITY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR INCOMPETENT ACTING. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!

I really enjoyed seeing this movie. I don’t think the acting was terrible but I do think they drew a lot of big names just to get people to see it. The stories were done well from the comic, and of course it is violent. Frank Miller’s writing style is that way. It is interesting that women or femenists find this offensive because it has strong female leads. None of them are weak, even in great danger they exibit strength and the character of Miho takes down whoever is in her way. I realize this movie is not for everyone, I would not suggest everyone to go see it. I did love this movie though. So I would recommend people who like violent movies to watch this. I felt the stories were good and it solves nothing for people to call other idiots for their opinions. I would definately own this movie when it comes out on DVD and have read a lot of good reviews on this movie. As for the bad reviews, well I have seen it for myself and have a conflicting opinion on theirs.

“There was senseless violence? I don’t know, the violence all made sense to me. A pedophile getting shot is going to bleed, a criminal electrocuted is going to bleed, a sick man decapitated is going to bleed.”

ok, logic boy. you missed my point. It’s not about the blood. all the supposed “good guys/girls” were just as bad as the “bad guys” so it doesn’t matter who wins. They all suck. Violence wasn’t used as self-defense, and there was no good case made for vengence killing, so the murder was senseless. almost everyone gets killed. If there is no point to living or dying, then who cares at all? what’s the point? where’s the conflict? these essential elements of any good story are left out, and the story becomes about empty, nihilistic violence.

Maybe the point comes across better in the comic book, but not in the movie. You can’t just take something from one medium and transfer it seamlessly to another without there being issues like this. Maybe I didn’t care for the characters because the acting and direction sucked so badly.

Miller and Rodriguez did a terrible job of convincing me to care for anyone or anything in this movie, because everything was overshadowed with sadistic bloodshed and violence. You may want to call this art, because it’s completely subjective, but don’t call it a movie because it doesn’t have the necessary elements.

“It’s a great film about chivalry in a rotten city. In a place where the cops and politicans are corrupt, and murder seems to happen everyday, there are three unlikely heroes that are just looking out for the people they love. ”

Again, who do they really love? Chivalry for whores? I was not convinced. I did not read the comic book, just because you did doesn’t mean you have to expect the rest of the movie-going world to understand, to interpret love out of bloodshed. I did not believe any of these people were heroes (heroes are murderers in MY world) and I didn’t feel any love. Marv falls for a whore he did one night…yeah, that’s love.

what kind of world do you live in? did you grow up in a normal family?? If this is your ideal of heroes and love, you’ve got major mental and emotional problems. Love does not equal sadism.

Oh and I love how this gets an R but the Passion gets an NC-17. I guess it’s ok to show ficticiously malevolent priests getting killed, but not an innocent like Jesus being murdered by the jews - something that really did happen.

“This movie may have real visual quality, and moments of great violence, but the acting was awful!!!!!!!!! The dialogue was so stilted and fake-sounding. The dialogue is done so awful that you want to laugh or cry, but you end up annoyed.”

It’s time for Film Noir 101.

Go read the books of Mickey Spilain and/or Raymond Chandler.

The Gangster and Private eye Films of Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Cagney and Edward G. Robinson.
examples: Maltese Falcon, The Roaring Twenties, White Heat, The Big Sleep and Key Largo

“The Big Heat” directed by Fritz Lang
“Kiss of Death” Directed by Henry Hathaway

To name just a few.

It’s funny, people complain about the acting, but fail to realize that thats how Frank Miller (y’know the guy that created the comic and directed the movie) wanted it. He’s keeping it to its medium. Over emphasis on certain words, gritty tones, low voices.

Also, to whomever wrote about the absense of definition between the good and bad guys, I say to you:NO SHIT! Sin City is alot like “the Tragedy of Julius Caeser”,in that, for the most part, there are no clear-cut “good guys” just protagonists and antagonists.

The only arguable exceptions being Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba.

Also the Marv/Goldie thing. You gotta look at it like this. Marv’s hideous. Girls don’t like Marv. The only real females in his life are a lesbian, and a girl who’s in love with an inmate. He’s also fairly insane. If someone acts like they love you and your in his situation, you can fall in love with a whore.

Then again, he didn’t know she was a whore until a few days after she died so he really didn’t fall in love with a hooker at all, just a girl who got close to him at a bar.

And another thing, for all those who care, try picking up the Sin City Graphic Novels(#1 Starts with the Marv/Goldie story.) Its scary how each shot is ripped EXACTLY from the comic. Seriously, its crazy.

Btw: Elijah “Frodo Baggins” Wood, kicked ass in this movie. Total ass. Like if their was some ass-kicking, he like so totally being do it. That is if his limbs hadn’t been hacked off by Marv(kick ass scene), whose actor I still can’t fucking figure out!
(I’m stubborn and refuse to look off any cast lists.)

-Xel, who also happens to be a retarded teenager.

Wow this movie freakin rocked!! The photography in it was exellent, and very well done. And i dont know how anyone can say that the acting was terrible or bad. It was great. The narraration was well done and helped you get into the story. And wehn i saw it yesterday some girls came along, and they thought it rocked as well. so i guess the girls here just have bad taste or something. I highly recomened this movie!

“A protagonist is generally someone you root for for some reason. I have no reason to root for murderers who kill for no good reason. You do? You’re sick.”

I’m sick then. I mean, I can’t root for someone that kills bad people? You must have hated Gladiator, Payback, and pretty much 90% of every drama and action film that comes out of Hollywood. I rooted for Marv because the only person that loved him was killed, and because he’s hunting down a corrupt cardinal who loves a cannibal. I rooted for Dwight, not only because Clive Owen’s awesome, but because he wanted to stop a bloodshed and protect Old Town. I rooted for Hardigan because he just did his job and saved a little girl. And after writing this I just saw that you said “for no reason.” What movie were you watching?

I’ve never heard of people saying that a movie is crap because the protaganists killed people. Except for some uptight evangelicals or something, I guess.

“Is it really that exciting for you to see a man have his penis ripped off? how lame your life must be.”

Wow! You’re so cool!!!

Normal men don’t fall in love with whores…and that’s what they are, whores. They are not just any type of woman, they strip and fck for money. Not the kind of girls most men would want (only the desperate ones) and not what women should aspire to be. But it’s how “mature” and ever-so-caring of you to think that it’s ok for women to walk around half naked and screw murderers for money instead of using their brains. What a kind man you are! You’re really helping to make the world a better place.

“…Marv because the only person that loved him was killed, and because he’s hunting down a corrupt cardinal who loves a cannibal…. What movie were you watching?”

Unfortunately the same one you did. Thankfully it was a bootleg and cost me next to nothing, which was actually more than it was worth to me.

I don’t think whores often fall in love with their clients. Do you call true love a one night stand? She didn’t love him, and he’s too stupid to get it. Great guy. Hartigan falls in love with a little girl who becomes a stripper. So you call pedophilia love too? I bet you thought Lolita was a great book. What’s next, movies with men falling in love with and screwing their dogs? Where do YOU draw the line, and who’s to say the media will stop there? Did you think Spanking the Monkey was a great film - about a guy who fcks his mother? He was a “protagonist” too, according to the definition supplied above….

Sorry, I don’t root for losers and freaks of nature. I don’t glorify prostitution and thuggery. And yes, it does make you sick and mentally disturbed. You might want to accept that and fix it, or else just give up and become like the trash insist upon defending.

“Wow! You’re so cool!!!” ….
“WOW! Once again, you’re sooooo cool! Idiot.”

Neither of you could address my point in an intelligent way, so you resorted to that. sad.

I’m not trying to be “cool.” I have no care to be considered “cool” by my anyone, including you. That may be the way you live your life, but definitely not me. Nor am I a movie buff who often goes on message boards or critiques movies. In fact, I barely even go out to see movies (too many urban scumbags talking on cell phones and yelling at the screen). No, I have a real life to live - a pretty damn good one - and I don’t have to live it vicariously through movies and comic books. I don’t resort to stripping or whoring either, and when things don’t go my way, I successfully refrain from killing people.

Oh, I guess because i’m against senseless violence and an oversexed culture I’m “evangelical.” I guess you bought into that whole “being christian is ‘uncool’” thing that the media keeps pushing just because so many people working in the movie industry are bitter about being jewish.

Yeah, I guess I am wasting my time writing. It’s just that this movie was so SO awful, and so many people seem to like it…. but I see why now…because it’s people like you, and people like you really aren’t very bright, or emotionally stable. I guess I’m just wasting my time trying to convince you how f’d up this movie really is. I should just give up on society too - or at least the media - because it refuses to hold itself up to higher standards time after time.

But you don’t get it. You never will. It’s beneath your level of comprehension. Thanks for driving that point home.

JD, you are amazing.
You just made fun of someone for calling you an idiot, and then did the exact same thing to them…using bigger words.

I think you’re missing the point entirely. It’s entertainment, not a treatise on life…or the way life should be. A movie.

If it’s true to the source material, and that was the director’s intention, then kudos to him for sticking to his vision. If you don’t like violence, don’t watch. If you don’t find it entertaining, don’t watch. Movies are supposed to take you away to a different, fantastic place. They are made so you can escape from your life for a couple hours. Just like watching TV. Just like READING A BOOK. It’s escapism…it’s entertainment. If you don’t like it, find something else to entertain you. But, don’t be-little people because you think you have some amazing life, and they are amoral. They have a different vision of entertainment than you.

Also, everyone’s a whore in one respect or another. It all depends on what someone wants out of the situation. Maybe you like a nice dinner and a night at the opera…and your date to pay? You just whored out your company for the price of that evening. Doesn’t make you any less of a person, does it?

“”Do you call true love a one night stand?”"

“What the hell is Romeo and Juliet?”

A one night stand and then they committed suicide.

So is the Christian Right going to protest in front of “The Globe” theatre demanding a feeding tube be inserted in the couple

the only thing I can say is WOW…. is there really anything more you could say about this movie? Long after you leave the theater your head will hurt from the over dose of violence and nudity. When I seen this movie an old lady actually got up and left completely disgusted after only 5-10 minutes. This is not the best movie to see during a double date as I soon found out, but i wouldnt recomend that you see this movie alone, take anyone just dont go alone because you will go completely insane without a proper outlet for your thoughts. Otherwise i enjoyed this movie….does that make me a bad person?

Is it just me, or did everyone here miss the fact that this was a maniacal and deranged movie? What’s wrong with you people, feasting your eyes on tortures and pointless murders, blood and gore and calling it “entertainment”. Have you all degraded to the status of animals? You are enjoying watching animals rip apart human beings, humans eating other humans and people being quartered, to name the least! If you really enjoyed this movie, I pity you - take a good look at your life - it must be quite void of culture and taste. I suggest read a book like something by Jack London or Galsworthy or Tolstoy and put some color in your life.

For all you out there that disagree with the violence in the movie, think about the story. The whole film was great, acting superb, and storyline was awsome. I have never read any of Frank Miller’s comics but I am going to buy them today. Once again for all you babies out there, stop crying over the f*&%in violence because no matter what, it’s all around us.

In a word; Disgusting!

Recently discovered my mom liked Sin City.

-Xel, another retarded teenager

JD. I loved this film and intend to see it several more times. And as for your last post I say… YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY RIGHT!!!

We all love the movies, but we all have different tastes and opinions and part of the fun for me is debating someone who disagrees with my opinion. If everyone agreed then the conversation would be very boring.

“You people keep bringing up freedom of speech…until you want to stifle someone else’s voice.”
No one’s been trying to stop you…well, maybe a few (I’m too lazy to read), but they’re either overreacting or are just stupid.
“And the “mommy” thing… proving my point that people who like this movie are immature fools.”
Only one person said that, but ok. Screw statistical analysis. And of course, calling someone you’ve never met and barely talked with unstable is perfectly mature.
“No, really, keep it up, because it’s just makes me look even classier and more intelligent compared to you.”
LOL, classic. Almost as good as punching someone in the face and saying that you’re more civilized.
Anyway, to stay somewhat on topic, I’m hoping to see the movie again maybe this week or the next, to hold me over for Hitchhiker’s. I hope to take a much more critical eye to it.

“Clock-orc-Orange”

Is that the “Lord of the Rings” version of the famous Stanley Kubrick film? LOL!!!

I really hate you all. When is it that you people are going to realize that this is a MOVIE, just a movie. There weren’t any real murders here, who else are we supposed to root for in this type of situation anyway the pedophile, you twats? Ah yes, the whole degrating of women, hmm well last time I checked none of the women actresses in this movie were held at gun point and forced to act. Tools. This thing was supposed to be a place where people review the movie, not a religous debate or a place where people post their hatred for another reviewer just review the damned movie. **If you liked it you did and if you didn’t then you didn’t. Tell us why but don’t attack another person who does like the movie.**

apparently all the people posting here just want acting and no style…hrm…well then, go back in time and see a shakespearian play and then tell me how good it was.

this movie perfectly reflected the comics, and even though it wasn’t ur average, nickelodean reproduction of spiderman, or xmen, it did an awesome job.

it was rated r, so those who saw it, and were infuenced greatly by it, should stick to pg and g movies, or grow up. i have respect for women, and i dont like killing people, but ill look at a nude chick and watch a dog eat someone for atmospheric effect so i can feel like im in a fantasy world.

besides, most of the people complaining just know the plot and nothing about how amazingly written and acted it was, especially by bruce willis, and elijia(sp??) wood rocked in it

Thomas Harris wrote Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibel and the upcoming Behind the Mask (his 4th Lectre Novel). Puzo’s novels are extremly violent, and Chandler and Spillane can be considered Mysogynist. And if you don’t think Shakespeare can be Violent Torturous and Sick you need to read Titus Andronicus.

I included Mark Twain, L Frank Baum, Louis Carrol etc. To show that I have a WIDE variety of tastes in books and in films.

I can revel in the stylish violence of Sin City, and still be excited about the upcoming release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

BTW “Clockwork Orange” is one of my favorite films.

You never saw “Clockwork Orange”?

It is the Best Kubrick film ever!!!

Close second is Doctor Strangelove, Then 2001: A Space Oddesey, Full, Metal Jacket, Paths of Glory, Lolita, Eyes Wide Shut,Spartacus…

What a great director!!!!

I agree 169% with the person who said it was escapism, that’s why i’m not as critical of the ‘lame’ dialogue and acting, a bit overdone voice-over - because I expected it, it’s adapted from Frank Miller for god’s sake!

So you feminist/religious fanatics out there[making a generalisation here] have to accept that this ‘√ɬ°rt’ is there to contest or most likely confirm some of the values out there, hidden within ourselves. It is, just a movie and as aesthetically pleasing those buxom dames are - and fulfiling certain people’s fantasies, these are always going to get soem viewers out there riled up - hence the MA/R ratings!

Although I have to say, if it wasn’t in the film noir style, I would dismiss it as a sexist, sadist - gratuitous violent piece, signature of most of Tarantino’s works

Miller touches on these subjects [violence, pedo and sadism], much liek nabokov does because he recognises these values within the context he’s in and if you can’t accept it then build a bridge and get over it.

sin city

As expected, considering the angle of the theme sin city stinks of

the usual half-assed American poser crap.

If you have been abused as a child and are into that kind of

self-degrading filth, don’t mess around and go straight to the

souse or get therapy. If therapy failed don’t be lazy, put the

work into it, get in touch with the right people and ask for the

private screening of the original Nazi snuff films. I do empathise

with the people who exist on that plane, they are ugly self haters

with serious sexual/social dysfunctions, they are to weak and

afraid to strive and better them selves, so they put their efforts

into turning everyone and everything around them into crap.

Enjoy the crap, it’s all yours.

P.S. Other then the above mentioned, the work it self is crap as

well, the CG is sloppy, green screen bleeds all over the place, the

looping is absolutely horrid and amateurish. Not only it’s out of

sync most of the time, it suffers from an unbearable alternating

looping stage hiss, which is up until now was found only in no

budget B movie productions run by dilettantes. College shorts are

looped better then that.

Anyone with the a decent home theater give that useless DTS

soundtrack a spin as a reference of what is bad, and if you can’t

hear it I hope you did not spend to much on the set up, because

you’re ether death or got sold on crap.
