Sin City

[Rain Man]

Looks pretty weird...

[OssMan]

Rain Man's Doo Doo Butter

[The Fugitive]

It's from Frank Miller. Of course, it's going to seem weird.

I can't wait for it myself, I've always loved the novels, it'll be interesting to see if the movie's as good as the book. With the cast they've got, I can't see how they can go wrong.

Plus with Quentin behind the scenes, you know it'll be good.

Yeah just ask anyone who saw Hero.....:shifty:

[John la Rock]

why is almost everybody creaming themselves for this movie?

It's not going to be that good

Tarantino got that released uncut, he had nothing to do with making it

[Boondock Saint]

I am so pumped for this. Either it will be awesome or just blow. I don't see any in between with this movie.

Yes, because you've seen it already, of course.

[YOUR Hero]

Keanu Reeves in it?

[Buzzkill]

yes

[I-Hate-You]

No he's not.

yeah it looks quite odd, but in a "I want to see it" kind of way.

The Servant - Cells (Instrumental) (http://www.pixelblur.com/media/audio/cells_full_instrumental.mp3)

Here is the instrumental, sorta. Sounds like the vocals were just digitally removed, and relatively poorly at that.

Poor indeed. Better then nothing I suppose.

[MVP]

I think it's looks great, but I'm afraid I'd jynx it by over-hyping it myself like I did with Kill Bill, which I didn't like.

1) Frank Miller. He could wipe his ass on paper and the graphic novel would sell 15 million.

2) Tarantino. He could take a dump in a film canister and people would still cram into the theaters to see volume 2.

3) Big names.

[Blitz]

It has 8.9 on Rottentomatoes.com so far. Only 7 reviews, but still...

Don't think it has anything to do with Tarantino, to be honest.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Tarantino directed like 1/3 of it

-edit- oh wait, see what you mean. Actually I'd probably agree, none of the hype I've seen has anything to do with Tarantino, more with how it's been shot and how most of the performances are great, career-best in some cases.

[Shaggy]

I just read in a review about the movie that it is really Gory.....they say that people get dicapitated and disfigured and they say at one point someone gets the crotch ripped out by hand.....now that is pretty damn violent

[Rain Man]

I'm fucking pumped about this movie, all the commercials look sweet

More like 1/18th of it, he just directed one scene.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I've heard conflicting reports that he did one scene or he did one of the three threads *shrug*

Either way, not much.

Your choice.

Of course, I think you're wrong, to be honest.

[KayfabeMan]

I'll wait to see it, however, I still want my Jessica Alba poster from the movie theater :mad:

[Fignuts]

How many posters are there? I'd like to try and collect them all.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

About 6 I think

[tucsonspeed6]

I'm not going to bother seeing it. I figure there's enough fanboys out there who think they have to throw their money at somebody because a movie is "different" to make this one a box office buster anyway...

[McDoogle]

Yea so I saw this movie and it's pretty good. NOTHING SPECTACULAR, but pretty entertaining. The quality of the movie was horrible though so im goin to see it again in the theatres.

[Bazooka]

yea, that's a sweet tune and this movie looks all right... I probably won't see it till it comes out on DVD though... just so I get all the behind the scenes action and the movie at the same time.

Killer cast too, most movies I only recognize 2-4 people, and this film I recognize like 10 people.

Anyway, I found this 7 min clip if anyone want's to see, it looks all right:

[The Answer]

Just saw it and I thought it was pretty cool. Best comic book movie I have seen. Mickey Rourke I salute you :y:

[Requiem]

Wow, a piece of art. I loved it.. just got back from seeing it.

[Smitty]

Saw it today. Soooo good. Reminded me of an ass-kicking Dick Tracey, Kill Bill, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit all rolled into one movie...and on steriods.

[Requiem]

Yeah.. :cool:

[slextremely]

Yeah this movie was awesome, blew my expectations away and they were pretty high. 9.5 out of 10

[Requiem]

Shit, I'll give it a 10 out of 10, and I don't think very many movies are that great.. There are maybe 5 movies I've seen in my lifetime that actually warrant a 10 out of 10..

[slextremely]

Does anyone have any idea wich scene Tarantino shot. I could'nt figure it out.

[Smitty]

I believe it was the scene where the "dead" Jackie Boy is talking to Dwight in the car.

[Funky Fly]

That movie was pretty fucking good. The talking head scene definitely felt different than the rest of the movie, so that was probably the Tarantino scene. This is one of the few recent action movies that doesn't feel PG-13.

[Requiem]

Yeah.. plenty of gory violence, and tits and ass. DS and I got carded twice, and I don't even get carded to buy smokes :mad:

We got carded buying the tickets, and before they let us in the theatre... wtf?

[Funky Fly]

LOL

That is why you buy tickets in advance online. :cool:

[RemyRed]

It sucks

[Requiem]

LOL

That is why you buy tickets in advance online. :cool:
Didn't matter.. we already had our tickets, and inside the building, at the entrance to the theatre the thing was playing in (like, the room with the screen and all), they carded us AGAIN there... ridiculous.

[Gonzo]

SPOILER WARNING IN THE TITLE. Fuck.

[Boondock Saint]

Awesome. Simply awesome.

[Fox]

Just got back from seeing this movie, and I'm pretty divided to be honest.

First of all, amazing visuals. The black and white with splashes of color worked perfectly and was done to artistic perfection. Mickey Rourke's character (Marv) was amazing. Even with the strict comic-book style, lame-ish dialogue, his character was believable and I really didn't find his lines to be all that ridiculous. Hell, all of the actors involved in this story took the dialogue to a top notch level of believability, with the exception of Brittany Murphy, who I thought had no purpose of being in this film. The beginning and end with Josh Hartnett was brilliant.

My problem with the movie is that it isn't really a movie perse - it's three different stories rolled into one. Now, while Tarrantino uses this style to perfection, Rodriguez did not manage to pull it off so well. Quentin's movies are filled with great dialogue and great character build-up, while Sin City is filled with brutal violence, sex, and often ridiculous premises.

I have no problem with violence and see action choreography as an art, in its own way. But you can only watch a guy take ten bullets to the arms and torso and get back up before you get tired of it. You can only watch a guy's limbs get blown off so many times before you want something new. You can only watch someone's balls getting blown off so many times before it loses it's shock value. About half-way through the movie I found myself bored with the over the top violence, and trust me, there is A LOT of it. It makes up about 50-60% of the film.

Was it a good movie? Of course it was. It was a style that has never been done before with actors that played their parts to the hilt and stories that were fairly captivating.

Would I pay to see it again or buy it when it comes out? Probably not. Like a comic book, you can only watch this movie so many times until you know exactly what's going to happen in the next frame. For a film to have that again-and-again feel, there needs to be something that draws you back every time. The violence doesn't do it. The stories don't do it. The characters don't do it.

Good movie? Yes. A classic to watch again and again? No.

Worth my $8 and my Friday night? Definitely.

[slextremely]

I have never heard of Mickey Rourke, but he was excellent in this, also Elijah Woods character was crazy.

[Gone Mad]

I loved it. I saw it right after my class, and was something else. I LOVED the Marv character and Mickey Rourke, I salute you. Elijah Woods character was probably my second favorite, just the scene with him and a book were just great.

Brittany Murphy is what killed it for me, as she can't act without using those eyes and they just stay in the same place. But besides that, the violence, the story, the art.... everything was just awesome.

[John la Rock]

I'll see it next weekend. have 3 assignment and a final to worry about first

[RoXer]

Very good movie.

Which scene did Tartino direct? And was Hartnett's character only in two scenes?

[RoXer]

And I agree with Fox on almost every point. However, I am going to buy the DVD.

[slextremely]

SPOILERS?!?!
Tarantino directed the scene where Dwight is driving with the "dead' Jacky Boy.(as posted by Smitty.) And yes Hartnett was in the first and last scene of the film. I liked his charcter though, i wish he was in more of it.

[Crimson]

Ok more on Hartnett..who was the girl in the beginning in the red? and in the end how did all that tie in?

[Requiem]

Basically, it was just saying he was about to kill the one chick like he did at first..

[Fox]

Ok more on Hartnett..who was the girl in the beginning in the red? and in the end how did all that tie in?

Josh Hartnett's character is a hitman. The girl in the red was his target, and he approaches his female targets as a suave individual and offers them a cigarette. Subsequently, he kills them. His "I never knew what she was running from," line indicates that he doesn't know anything about his victims - he simply does his job.

The girl at the end betrayed the old town girls by ratting them out to the mob. Hartnett arriving at the end and offering her a cigarette indicates that he has been hired to kill her.

Like I said, brilliant way to begin and end a movie that really has no beginning or end.

[Lamuella]

I thought this movie was as close to perfect as a film noir could get.

It adapted Miller's books absolutely flawlessly. It looked utterly gorgeous. THere were at most two acting performances I'd give less than 10 out of 10.

All the leading men were stunning. Almost all the leading women were stunning (I wasn't a huge fan of Britany Murphy). After this and Closer, Clive Owen is a god in my eyes.

I will own this the day it comes out on DVD.

[Fignuts]

OMG! This was awesome. You can't fully appreciate this movie unless you read the books. Every story, every line of dialogue, even every camera angle is taken straight out of the book. Phenomenal. Also, I liked the format of the seperate stories, rather than meshing it all together, like fox said.

How does Elijah Wood go from Frodo the hobbit, to Kevin? Pretty Versitale.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He's playing a hooligan next (or in the near future)

You'd think he didn't want to be typecast as a small man with hairy feet :shifty:

[Crimson]

Haha, Frodo's character was awesome. I think the dialogue coulda been a bit better..especially right when they switched from Marvin to Jackieboy, they had similiar attitudes/dialogue. But no big deal still a good flick.

'That's a nice coat you got there..'

[RoXer]

That's a damn fine coat ya got there

[Crimson]

Old man dies, young girl lives...it's a fair trade..

[RP]

Mickey Rourke ruled. Hartnett was awesome too. I totally agree with the beginning and ending of this movie. It was brilliant. I hope they dont try to make some douche bag spin off of Hartnett's charachter. I mean i would probably see it cause he ruled. But still it would suck. Just leave it where it was left IMO. He was just plain smooth.

" Thats a damn fine coat you got there "

I havent said lines over and over again since " I'm Rick James bitch " was uttered out of Dave Chapelle's mouth on his show. Now i go around saying the " Thats a damn fine coat you got there " line non stop.

[Champion of Europa]

I loved this movie. 10/10 for me. Rourke, Willis, and Owen were perfect in their roles. I can't really pick one favorite out of the three. Each has their own little awesome thing. Jackie Boy is my hero.

:heart:

[Blitz]

I take away his weapon. Both of them.
:cool:

Yeah this movie blew me away. So many great characters. I will DEFINITELY buy the books now.

[Innovator]

"Get up old man!"

Marv is the man, plain and simple

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Man

I held off from reading the comics beforehand cause I wanted to go in blind, so to speak. I knew vaguely what to expect - noir, violence, all that stuff.

But Jesus Christ :|

That is some fucked up shit right there. Literally is a comic book movie too. Awesome work all round.

[Jason Cage]

holy hell. i orgasmed like 24890 during the movie. So incredibly awesome. I was totally marking out with the whole Kevin angle. God dammit, everything was just incredible.
Every story was so orgasmically well told. I'll go see it again.

[VJW]

I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully it'll convince Paramount to make Watchmen which is rumored to be going down the toilet.

[Bad Company]

Awesome Movie. Just saw it.
I'll definately go and see it when it comes out here.

[John la Rock]

Pretty good movie. Marv ruled all 9/10

[Supreme Olajuwon]

They had some special digital screening of this at one of the theaters in town so I went and saw it not really knowing much about the plot or the comic or Frank Miller or any of that other than a couple trailers. Holy fuck that was the most insane, crazy ass, what the hell just happened movie I've ever seen. Also Clive Owen is better than sliced bread.

[Triple A]

Yeah it was sick. I didn't really like the Clive Owen story even though he is God, but the other two stories were sickkkkkkkkk.

[YOUR Hero]

I really enjoyed this movie. I hadn't seen the comics before and had only this thread and the commercials to go on, in regards to what it would be like/about.

[FakeLaser]

I liked it.

I saw it when I was high though and had no idea what was going on, but everything was so tripped out.

[Adder]

Really good. Will this movie have sequels? It seems to me that it would be well suited for it.

[Ninti the Mad]

I went not really knowing what to expect.

Man, I am glad I did.

HOT movie. Way up there.

There are more comics in the series but I'm not sure there's enough to make another whole movie.

[Downunder]

Wow, just wow.

[Fox]

Sin City is an aquired taste, I guess. I live in a pretty small, redneck-ish town in Oregon and the movie only last one week in my local theater because, according to my rather idiotic and drugged out friend, "nobody was coming to see it." He disliked the movie and said it was "stupid," with no real reasons to back up his opinion. He then said "It looked like a comic book," and I ended the convo there.

[Zelda]

Awesome movie. I can't wait to see the original version.

[Blue Demon]

I saw it and thought it was good :y:

Enjoy. I certainly did.

[Downunder]

As in you liked?
Yeah I loved it - it was just like watching the comic on tv (I didn't see it in the cinema, it's not out here yet).

I told my wife I have a movie with Benico Del Toro in it (she loves him) and partly directed by Tarantino (she loves him too - but not for his looks) She's gonna hate this movie :D

[Disturbed316]

Finally got round to seeing this, completly awesome film. Pretty sick when her ripped out the guys nutts, but still funny in a sick way. The slight comedy from those two guys from the mob seemed to come out of nowhere, but was welcomed. Everyone in the cinema laughed their asses off when he was talking after he got shot with the arrow.

[The Destroyer]

There are more comics in the series but I'm not sure there's enough to make another whole movie.
Sin City 2 and 3 are on the way.

Just saw it today, and I absolutely loved it.
