Frank Miller's Sin City (the movie) - Page 4

Not Afraid · 04-03-2005, 08:48 PM

We saw it tonight. Not really they type of film I usually see and LOTS of violence that had me covering my eyes (I'm a wuss with violence). There were things I likes, things I could appreciate but didn't like and other things than just made me roll my eyes. I was really bored the whole first Bruce Willis part, Marv kept me a bit more captivated, and Clive Owen is HOT! I like the way it ended - by that time, I was at least engrossed.

Anyone know which part Tarrentino directed? I put my money on the car scene with Clive and Benecio talking. That was the best part of the film, IMHO. But, I'm not going to be specific yet about anything.

I am a comic book virgin. Having not seen Sin City yet (Monday's my "alone at the movies" day) and not reading or listening to too many reviews, I am very excited to see this movie. I'm loving what everyone has to say about the film.

Though, I must admit... I heard a review / behind the scenes interview on Sin City on NPR. The interview.. .done by my View Askew Master, Kevin Smith. You can hear the interview in both it's short (14 minute) form and the extended (58 minute) form here.

I can't wait to go tomorrow!!

Also being a comicbook virgin and hearing the NPR interview (short version) I think helped me appreciate the film more. It was a lot of fun, made more fun by the swanky company. It's Noir, and sometimes ridiculously Cliche, but the film really seemed to succeed and keeping it like a comic book. It also didn't hurt that all the female character's wardrobe seemed to stop at lingerie - but YMMV with that one

OK. The Vahala monologue was just cracking me up. So ridiculous.

Aw, my little Valkyrie didn't you think it romantic?

I found this great Clive/Dwight quote on IMDB:

Quote:

It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people.

There ARE parts that are sticking with me. Some great lines. But, oh so SILLY at times!

I thought all the women looked incredibly gorgeously hot. Alexis Bledel's character and I have the same jeans. My husband pointed it out, and I was like, "Hey, quit looking at her ass!!!" But when they're all nekkid with their tits ahoy, I didn't care.

It was right on. Anything else would not have been cool or true to the books.

I could have done without the "yeesh." Everyone was giggling at the three yeeshes.....but I didn't really dig it. To me, it just didn't play. But, jeez, that's all I have to complain about, so I'm thinking I must really love the movie.

I loved the "noir" feel of the voice-overs. They pulled it off. Could have been horrible, but they made it work. I think it would be fun to spoof this movie....so many possibilities.

Huh, I don't recall any scenes where a woman character wore jeans?

I remember the Zoro hat & mask, that was cool

Nancy wore jeans at her home, and Alexis Bledel wore jeans at the end of the movie....before getting on the elevator.

Not that I notice clothes or anything.......

Claire, Michael Madsen is even more bloated in real life. Just check him out on the fugging it up website. Sad. I almost cried into my computer keys.

I LOVED Sin City. So much fun was had watching it in good company. Elijah Wood was *perfect* as Kevin. Those Converse just abuot kill me. Ah, Marv. Ah, Dwight.

Rosario Dawson, I wonder how many punk rock teens will show up with your haircut at school on Monday. Alos, Rosario, you were really, really, really, really hot.

One of the best on-screen kisses I have ever seen. Yummy. Yummy. Again, yummy.

Nick Stahl, I recognized your voice, you little yellow bastard. I love Nick Stahl's voice.

"She grew up, she filled out." Yeah, girlie, I even liked you. And I don't usually like you. But you, too, were hot.

The movie was hot.

And very well done. I love punk rock comic book noir. Thank, Frank Miller. Thanks, Rodriguez. Thanks, Q.T., whatever parts you directed. Thanks hot actors and awesome make-up people. That WAS Marv.
