Default SIN CITY

IGN reviews Sin City and titles it , "Pure entertainment with insanely cool visuals. The most faithful comic adaptation of all time!"

Is anyone else excited about SIN CITY? I'm definitely seeing this opening night!

Well no one seemed to care much about it when I posted the trailer way back when, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. Never read the comic, but I hear it's fantastic as well.

I recently just read all the comics to prepare. After reading them and then watching the trailer again its amazing how I can tell exactly what part each little snippet is from. Though the movie does seem to be heavy on color compared to the comics...and lacking in the nudity...though no breasts means even less penis. I may even *gasp* pay money to go see this movie in the theater.

I've been keeping up with this movie for a while.

It's my "must see" movie of the year, right up there with A Scanner Darkly.

I've had a bit of a Jessica Alba fetish since Idle Hand came out way back in the day. Oh, and she was in Dark Angel too. She's so hot.

But yeah. I will definately be seeing this movie.

You know, I've been a semi-fan of Bruce Willis since I saw The Sixth Sense. I don't really remember many movies of his I might have seen before hand...

I liked Unbreakable, too. He's just a fun guy to watch. I'm excited about Sin City.

The look of the film is interesting of course. I'm interested to see how the general public will take such a stylized film. Typically audiences seem to stay away from anything that could be even slightly different from the normal formula. Hopefully Sin City will be one of those exceptions that explodes with popularity and changes the film industry for the better. Or something.

Yep...

Those that have read the books know that this movie is going to stir up a lot of controversy. I love the books, just so you know, but this movie is going to get a lot of bad media attention. The books are BRUTALLY violent and have no characters with even a shred of moral values. But then again thats the point.

As for it being the next Dick Tracy... well if Dick Tracy involved dismemberment, decapitations, sexism, perverted clergy, cannibalism, rape and valuminous nudity (which the movie does have minus Alba) then it would be the next Dick Tracy.

I can't wait fo this movie. I will be seeing the first matinee available on Friday just so I can see an untouched print. The books changed the way I looked at the comic medium and what it could do and I was always sure that they would make a great movie, but I never thought anyone would have the balls to make an honest interpretation. Thank you Robert Rodriguez.

I recommend that everyone who sees this movie reads the books its based on. If you like them, I also recommend the following:

Preacher
Earth X
The Watchmen ***a must read***
The Dark Knight Returns ***another must read that I am waiting to be made into a movie**

EDIT: For those of you that see the movie for Jessica Alba, you'll soon forget who she is once you see Carla Gugino butt ass nekid.
