Sin City

Could there be a better combination of bizarre, fun, and funny? I doubt it. And visually.... Wow! I think it captured the mood of the comic perfectly. Gritty, with that, "It was quite. Too quiet." feel to it. Perhaps more of a guys movie, I think. Heh. Crazy violence, & hot babes!

You saw it? It only hits cinemas here in August! The envy.

Man, I feel sorrier for you SA members all the time!

I can't wait to see this flick ... I'm a huge Marv fan, so I'm very interested to see how Mickey Rourke pulls it off.

Just got home. I really liked this movie. Mickey Rourkes Marv was a beautiful performance.

Saw it today. I thought it was pretty good. A little bit on the 14 year-old boy side, but that's good once in a while. As much as I like Benicio

Spoiler

especially a talking, dead Benicio

, I could've done without the third sequence, though. It just seemed disjointed.

Damm it!

I want to see this movie SO badly! Now if my finger wasn't broken in 3 places, I wasn't on heavy meds and somebody could babysit Izaac Ringess!!! OOOOOOO! GRRRRRR!

danlo, I really feel for you, but you had to know flipping off Govenor Schwartzenegger would most likely result in a broken finger.

Has anyone noticed that Arrrnult and Stallone's faces are beginning to cave in syncratically?

Yeah, you just did.

great movie, one of my favorites ever

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 2:40 am

I just saw it again. What a flick!

My favorite movie ever. Saw it at a midnight showing the day it hit theaters, and I can't stop thinking about it. Oh, Marv!

This post might seem disjointed because that is the current state of my mind at this point in time. I blame society.

saw it last night......will be seeing it again...there are so many visuals I'm sure I didn't catch them all

But could someone explain:

Spoiler

How Kevin was sitting on the porch in sequence 3 when Hardigan and Nancy were at the farm?

The stories aren't arranged in chronological order.

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 5:30 pm

My question about that scene is - Why didn't he get involved?

Post by **Lorelei** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 5:54 pm

I was curious about that too....

I am unfamiliar with the graphic novels.....is this something that the character would do?

I wish I knew. I'll call some people and find out. I think Frank Miller is the best thing that ever happened to comics, and read whatever of his I can find. But I didn't know about Sin City until it had been going for a couple years, and I never got around to reading it from the beginning.

Sin City. I saw this last Friday afternoon. I think I liked it, I know for certain I did not like it as much as Fist and Faith. It was not really what my expectation was, and I am not sure if I knew what my expectation was. I take back all the bad things I ever said, maybe Bruce Willis can act (based on his movies and the insipid, vacuous, assinine 80s or was it 70s series I never thought this guy could act). His protrayal of Hartigan will break your heart. Mickey Rourke as Marv, reminded me so much of Moose Malloy from Farewell my lovely (aka Murder my sweet). Powers Boothe as Senator Roarke will chill you to the soul.

A final note. This is violent, violent, violent. (Godfather and Braveheart violent) It's definitely not for kiddies.

Definitely a fun movie. What a cast! I will forever remember Elijah Wood as Kevin. Frodo? Frodo who??

Quite the opposite of Syl, the third sequence was my favorite, though I agree it did seem a bit off.
