***End Spoilers***
The beginning was from the short story "The Customer Is Always Right." The end was made for the movie.

Finally got it. Good movie. Shlubb and Klump are a lot more pleasant to listen to than read. Shame they didn't show Marv's mom. The Nazi with the arrows still my favorite part in the entire series. Gotta love that guy.

In case anyone is wondering about Dwight talking about his new face...read the books. Would explain it but they hinted at making a sequel.

I just saw this movie tonight.

Wow. I was completely blown away. It went above and beyond my expectations for the movie. I saw it with a friend of mine, and we were constantly talking about the symbolism of the colors that they used and the things that they said.

It was one of the best movies that I've seen in a long time. I think that Marv and Dwight were my favorite characters, but I also liked Hartigan.

And Jessica Alba...was just gorgeous. As usual.

I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD so I can buy it.

Eh...I've come to the point where I'm not sure whether it's worth it to see a movie the second time around...With theater prices at least at $7 some dollars...it's just too much. Being a college student, I'd rather see something new or save that money for booze or candy or something...

Yes, too true. It cost me 6.50 just to get a ticket, not counting a 2 dollar bottle of water and snacks.

But it was worth it. The theatre is very very nice. The picture quality is awesome, and the sound system is fantastic. Like when people are shooting or it's raining, you can hear it from the direction it is on the screen.

I think Sin City is one of the very very few movies worth seeing again.

Definitely one of the better movies I've seen in a while. Saw it the night after it came out, never saw this topic until now.

Beautiful art direction... just absolutely fantastic visuals.

So I finally saw the movie, a week late, I know, but I couldn't coordinate it last week. Anyway, best comic book movie I've seen. Period. Sure...Spiderman 2 was a good movie, but it wasn't as good of a comic-book movie. Sin City had everything.....hookers, boobs, great dialogue, good cast, good acting, good story...tarantino...I give it 14 stars, a pretzel, and this piece of lint I just found. Go see it if you haven't, otherwise you're missing out.

(And take it with a grain of salt, it really is over-the-top-over-the-top)

I got it Tuesday, the day after it came out. I got the one with Harttigan and Nancy on the cover.

I have a poster of the movie as well, but it didn't come with the DVD. Ulala got it for me for my Birthday...it's the one with Jessica Alba on it.
