Sin City .... Thoughts?
 
I saw it opening day... I won't say I wasn't pleased, but I think I was expecting something else. Kinda ruined parts for me. Don't get me wrong, the stuff with Marv and Dwight is awesome.

And, a note: Voltron and I talked about this, and we came to a conclusion.... We've never seen so many whores. Ever.

And Jessica Alba.....



Oh man.

Voltron 04-03-2005 10:52 AM

I loved it. I've never read the comics, though. I just love ninja hookers. You can kick my ass any day, baby. Grrrrowrrrr.

More whores than any movie has ever contained before? Sign me up!

Sin City hasn't come out here yet, but I suspect it'll be here in a week or so. And disappointing or not, its guaranteed to beat the hell outta at least the last half a dozen movies I've seen.

Brodie 04-03-2005 11:15 AM

Lets not forget Nazi Ninja Whores.

Barkworm 04-03-2005 11:19 AM

I envy you all, the movie won't be out here till late summer.

Voltron saw the damn movie without me. What a jerk. :cry:

But we're seeing it again Tuesday! Oh yeah.

Ooh man, I saw it just yesterday, actually...!

You see, the type of person I am... I'ma kinda happy-go-lucky person and... as much as I love violence in movies ((ooh yeah!))... this one was hard for me to watch :( ... I sat squirming in my seat, diverting my eyes at any extreme gore scenes that I could. I really like violence... but this was twisted violence :O .... a LOT of people left the theater cause they couldn't finish watching it! I felt proud though, cause I stayed :)

I walked out of the theater traumatised! :o and my boyfriend wouldn't stop poking fun at me. He's more of a movie buff then I am, and stuff like that don't phase him as much as it does me T_T

Being the type of person I am, I gotta let things digest a little and then I look for the positive sides. All in all, the movie was very well put together... the elements of contrast were very powerful, and I don't at all regret seeing it. I really liked that big guy with the "ugly mug"... not sure of his name... but he was the one who killed the cannibal! I was rooting for the big guy! And all them hookers! YEAH! With guns!!!! Stalking over buildings! With the leather and the attitude! Highlight of the movie!!!

and.... damn you, Mr Frodo... you creeped me out most of all... :( .... emotionless cannibal with glasses... ~shudders~ he still creeps me out...

the reason WHY I jumped into the movie without knowing what to expect is cause I'd seen Sin City in the comic stores for the longest time... alwayse caught my curiossity. I knew it was very dark and that it played with your mind... but I had no idea to what extremes! Next time I'll know better and do a minor research first. If I'da known about the heavy corrupted content and explicit-ness, I'da been better prepares and less traumatised :) ...

But I still liked it! I'm glad I saw it! ((probly won't see it again anytime soon though))

Ugly mug guy was Marv. The best thing he does in the flick is when hes driving the car and holding the one guys face to the pavement when going about 90 mph.

Voltron 04-03-2005 07:45 PM

OH MAN! THAT WAS THE BEST! You almost had to do a double take when you saw that! On a side note, you should put spoilers around that Brodie.

In addition to it being badass, I've heard there are a lot of swastikas in the movie. Is that true?

DrSpengler 04-04-2005 12:08 PM

Saw it opening night; loved it. Seems to be getting a lot of flack from critics, though. Entertainment Weekly gave it a C because it was "too stylised and too violent". But then, they gave Catwoman a B+, so what do they know?

EZweasel 04-04-2005 12:41 PM

its an amazing movie. one of the better ones i have seen in a while. I would probably give it a about an 8.9 out of 10. it is so close to being a 9 and probably will be the second viewing. Also critics actually liked this movie. The only one who didnt seemed to not like it because of moral values....its called sin city what did they expect. anyways rotten tomatoes eneded it with 78% fresh. that is dang good in my opinion. Catwoman got 11% or something, but i cannot remember right now.

cqb101 04-04-2005 03:07 PM

I saw it opening night(ALmost went to the midnight premiere, actually) and I ****ing loved it. I'm a fan of the comics, and it was a near perfect translation of the books. Definately in my top 5 favorite movies.

Hahahaha! Funny how all the guys at the theater went "Ooooooooooooooooooooh! OMFG!!!" simultaniously, each time he did that. I just though it funny. Muhahaha... guess I'm kinda evil that way!

Okay! So I saw it tonight with Voltron, and I have to say it was quite possibly the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life. On the way home, I compared the movie to every other movie I have ever seen, and it conquered all of them.

The plot was fantastic and it really kept me fully interested. Usually movies with violence of this nature tend to sacrifice some story, but this did not. The narration of the film was simply spectacular. The adjectives used, the tone of the narration, and the overall coming together of the film in that club where the other protagonists were located in the bar really struck me as amazing. I really enjoyed the separation of the stories, much like in Pulp Fiction, only easier to follow.

Personally, I really thought the black and white with certain colors used was quite brilliant. The visuals used in this film were wonderful. I particularly liked the coloring of the eyes. I felt that brought depth to the characters in some way. The violence in this movie was unlike anything I have ever seen, with the exception of Kill Bill. Being a lover of violence, this tended to my need for carnage, and it delivered in all sorts of ways that I never thought would be brought to the big screen. Simply wonderful.

Overall, this movie had everything I ever wanted in a movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves violence, a good story, and an appreciation for movies in general.

GOnna unblock me, yet?

Oh yeah, sorry. My bad.
