Saw Sin City film last weekend.

[Deep13]

Goddamn was that ever dark! I mean really grim. Great film, but wow! I need some therapy.

1. I want to see it. It sure a a cult following among a segment of

the population (hip, fifteen to 30 yr olds)

[prolesunited]

2. I guess I'm not hip enough

I could appreciate the take on pulp fiction novels and some of the visual effects were really creative, but I really didn't like it.

I just forced myself to finish watching it because it was late back to the store and I owed fines. I couldn't bear to pay extra for something I didn't watch.

4. I suspect I may not like it -- seems technically/texturally interestingly

but a bit of a curiousity piece. And I just want to konw what it is. I am an Clive Owen fan and a Frank(?)Mille fan.

3. I'm hip? Sweet!

[Deep13]

10. I'm 38.

:P

12. Hey I'm 47 and simply loved that flic.....

One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time.....

Cool visuals, good story, great acting, rory gilmore dressed in leather and lace, and, a great soundtrack.....

What more could you ask

5. Have you ever seen the movie "At Close Range"?

[Deep13]

11. Nope, never heard of it.

[sasquatch]

19. It's the best movie Sean Penn and Christopher Walkin have ever done

[Deep13]

22. oooo, Walken!

Patron St. of the cow bell.

I liked that Prophecy trilogy only because Walken is so freakin' bizzare.

[sasquatch]

25. You'll love him in this movie then

[Deep13]

26. "I pranked him to death with a tire iron!"

"Sometimes I like to prank them for hours in my basement."

[pitohui]

29. that is an excellent movie EOM

.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. Great movie.

Christopher Walken + Sean Penn = :thumbsup:

[StaggerLee]

6. Frank Miller was the priest

And Elijah Wood was creepy!!

I enjoyed it. The first half was the best half IMO.

7. I absolutely HATED that movie!

We should've walked out. Don't know why I didn't. Afterwards, my hubby and I felt as if we'd been assaulted. Seriously. There's NO need for that much gratuitous violence, IMO. Who cares if it's "stylistic"?! Whatever. The world can be dark enough, as it is. My two cents.

13. Not everyone's cup of tea, BUT...

... the intent was to make Frank Miller's Sin City, not Hollywood's Sin City.

[alarcojon]

20. It probably wouldn't be my cup of tea

I've heard it was very violent and very misogynistic.

[Deep13]

23. That's true on both accounts.

I haven't read Sin City, but I have read some of Miller's other stuff. My understanding is he wanted to make an extremely grim portrayal of a city in decline where corruption makes life cheap. It was extremely violent, especially towards women, but it was an important part of the plot. I guess he figures that's how a lawless society would be.

8. did this have jessica alba in it?

i am not really that hip so help me out here.

[prolesunited]

9. Yes, it did

dancing quite provocatively in one scene.

[Deep13]

14. Don't mean to nit-pick, but...

...in the comic,..er..I mean graphic novel, "Nancy" dances topless. WTF?!

[WCGreen]

15. Well, JA isn't exactly stripper material if you get my drift....

[Deep13]

24. Ah, not enough of a front porch, ...

... rack, Van Dorens, shirt potatoes, fun bags, blouse bunnies, dual front airbags, torpedoes, bazzongas etc.

Sorry, just watched the horrendously bad Double D Avenger with commentary from Joe Bob Briggs who uses just about every euphemism for breasts in existence.

[CanuckAmok]

16. there weren't enough nude scenes with the lesbian lawyer.

my $0.02.

[maxsolomon]

17. carla gugino

the entire movie should have featured her in her apartment.

[Deep13]

21. True

[seemunkee]

27. Loved it.

I thought it was a great rendition of Miller's work. I've been majorly disappointed with the majority of comic book adaptations but this was exactly as I hoped it would be.
I love Franks work and have this signed poster in my workroom

[pitohui]

28. an ugly film w. no reason to exist

if one more dog ate off one more hacked-off head...

life is too short

[graywarrior]

30. I just watched it the other night

It was different and very dark. Benecio freaked me out a little.
