Frank Miller's Sin City (the movie)

It's gonna be an interesting year - Watchmen, V For Vendetta...

(I still get sad when I think of Tank Girl)

I was really excited about V for Vendetta until I remembered that people LOVE to murder his work on the screen. From Hell = crap. League of Extraordinary Gentleman = beyond crap.

Maybe filmmakers should just leave Alan Moore alone.

At least Natalie Portman is going to be in V, yes? I think she'd do quite well in that part.

Yes, that IS better. Heeee.

Damn comic book geeks.

As a poseur that hasn't read any of the aforementioned comic books (but enjoyed Tank Girl's on-screen crappiness) I'm up for this movie. I hope I understand it though.

Movie definitely looks visually stunning and fun from the trailers I saw.

Being a fan of the Gilmore Girls, for some bizarre reason I wanna see Alexis Bledel as a bad bad little girl.

Also I cant wait to see Elijah Wood, even though he's basically going to appear in silohette and in the dark. (Somehow, a lot of my dates end up that way, *yawn*) I wont be able to see his beautiful blue eyes and what in the world is sexy about Elijah sans SCARY BIG BLUE EYES?

AAAAAAA, I'm revelling in geek dom!!

Looking forward to seeing SinCity. Saw the preview when I saw Constantine and thought it looked AWESOME! I was by myself at the theatre and freaked out on how much of a geek I am! haha

I just came back from the big comic con going on in Long Beach and they had a bunch of Sin City stuff. Figures, posters and the such....

Elijah plays The Yellow Bastard BTW....

When I got home last night, Kelly was in bed reading A Dame to Kill For.....heehee.....I think he's getting excited to see all the half-nekkid chicks!!!

And when I'm online, I always have the Sin City website open in another window, so I can listen to the background noise....

I haven't been this excited for a movie for-ev-ah. It better not suck.

I went to Best Buy to pick up some DVDs yesterday (Orgazmo, anyone?) - and they were giving out a free Sin City preview DVD with every purchase. I took it home, but I'm not sure if I want to watch it before I see the movie. The "previews" tend to contain too many spoilers of late...

Hehe, don't think I'd actually buy it....but seeing it in the theaters is the closest I've gotten to the 70's porno theater experience.

The early reviews look pretty good for Sin City.
