Sin City

[ursus]

Anybody else interested?

Or are you all sick of adapted comix?

I'm going, yesser...

[ignom]

I've never read the comic, but the movie looks interesting. It has a pretty good cast.

I know beefy will see it just for Josh Hartnett.

[Beefy]

It has enough going for it that I'll go.  That said, I think they may have taken the whole adaption thing a bit too far.

[Bishamonten]

they're going too far into making it look exactly like Frank Millers work.  While I love the Sin City books, I think they're going to end up with a campy looking film.  Also, I think they may be packing too much into one film.  Last count I saw said it was 3 books in one film.  That's a lot of material to do justice too.  I'm cautiously optimisitic.  The casting of Clive Owen as Dwight, was inspired though.

Jessie and I watched Sin City last night. It was neat.

[ReBurn]

I'm watching it now.  I hope at some point tonight I'll be able to sleep.

[Jessie]

I liked it.  It was weird.  I liked the way it looked.

[Beefy]

I still haven't seen two worse performances by anyone on screen this year than Michael Madsen and Jessica Alba in that movie.

[Jessie]

I'm trying to remember Michael Madsen's role.

Jessica Alba kissing Bruce Willis grossed me out some.

[ReBurn]

Michael Madsen definitely sucked in that move.  But he sucks in most movies, in my opinion.

But you liked Josh Hartnett's part, though, right?

[ignom]

He's the one who played Bruce Willis' partner.

He totally carried the movie.

How bad do you have to be that your sucktitude outweighs Hartnett's?  Pretty damn bad.

Jessie, Madsen was Bruce Willis's partner(?) at the beginning of the film who betrays him.

He's the one who played Bruce Willis' partner.

Right, I remember now.

I saw that.

Shh.

[ReBurn]

One day I hope to be as cool as Rutger Hauer.

[Beefy]

"All these memories will be lost... like tears in rain."

No one is as cool as Rutger Hauer.

Except maybe Dolph Lundgren.

Yeah.  It's definitely a toss-up there.

[ignom]

I didn't even recognize Rutger. After the opening credits, I completely forgot he was in the movie.

[Alice]

Yeah, Madsen wasn't great.

However, the man makes me drool - so I think my brain just glosses over his bad acting and makes him appear okay.

Jessica Alba always sucks.  I can't stand that girl.

[ReBurn]

She's pretty easy on the eyes.

[VikingJuice]

I enjoyed the film but it's been so long since I saw it in the theatres I can't remember anything about it.  Josh Hartnet was in it?  I've forgotten a lot.  And yeah, Madsen sucks in almost everything.  You should see him in Species II.  Despite the fact that the WHOLE movie was terrible, he was even more so.  The ONLY thing that carried that film or the one before it was Natasha's bod.  And I use the term "carried" very loosely.

[DownSouth]

Jessica Alba will never be hotter than she was in Idle Hands.

[Jessie]

Jessica Alba will never be hotter than she was in Idle Hands.

Seems to me that if the hands weren't idle it'd be more fun.  Maybe I'm talking crazy, though.

[Alice]

Who cares if he can't act?  Look at him!

[ignom]

Who cares if he can't act?  Look at him!

Tom Sizemore?

Jessie's probably the only one that would get that, and she probably won't either.

[Beefy]

Jessica Alba will never be hotter than she was in Idle Hands.

While it is pervy to say so, as she was so young at the time, I'd have to agree.  That film was the one moment that Alba was worth paying attention to.

[Jessie]

Tom Sizemore?

I don't really get it, but I sure thought that's who that was.

I was just thinking, "Isn't that the dude that was with Heidi Fleiss?"

[Beefy]

Tom Sizemore?

Same difference.

[Beefy]

FYI - a very young Michael Madsen can be spotted in WarGames.

[Alice]

Really?!?  Is he hot in that too?

[Beefy]

He's wearing a military costume.  You tell me.

I'll have to watch it and get back to you.

Well, I guess he realizes his Hollywood career is over.

[ignom]

Tom Sizemore?

Same difference.

Have you seen Pauly Shore Is Dead yet? I know you had it in your queue at one point.

Still in the queue.  Everything took a hit when Dead Like Me Season 2 came out.  That, and I'm really slow with Netflix.

Okay, I have a question for all you folks who have seen Sin City.  I just finished watching it for the 2nd time and noticed something that has me curious.

Quit reading now if you don't want spoilers...







































seriously, quit reading...



































have you stopped?



































okay then...


































When Bruce Willis arrives at The Farm at the end of the film, Elijah Wood's character is seen sitting on the porch, perfectly healthy, reading The Bible (I am supposed to capitalize that, right?).  Well, as we all know, Elijah's character had his arms and legs cut off earlier in the film and was fed to attack dogs.  How the hell is he sitting on the porch?  Bruce can't be imagining it since he never met that character before (it was Marv/Mickey Rourke that took care of Elijah).  Was this in the comics?  Is it a statement on religion?   A statement on the enduring nature of pure evil?  Did this scene actually precede Elijah's doom, ala Pulp Fiction type story hopping?  Anyone else notice this or have thoughts?

[ReBurn]

I think that it is just several overlapping timelines that aren't necessarily going on all at the same time.  It seems to me that the Hardigan timeline concluded before any of the others really started, even though it is the one the movie ends on.  If you were watching closely you would have also noticed that Marv turned and looked at Hardigan when Nancy jumped off the stage and hugged him.  At this point, if the timelines were parallel, Marv would have already been dead.

Good point.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but my thinking was that Bruce saw Woods reading then went to take care of the yellow guy (was that Nick Stahl?) While Bruce was snooping around Marv showed up on the other side of the ranch and started beating the ever-loving crap out of Woods. That was why Woods couldn't go apeshiat on Bruce, he was getting the crap beaten out of him at the same time Bruce was killing the yellow guy.

Damn you Catchr for getting me hooked on YTMND.

I don't remember.

I don't know. Did Marv have all of the cuts on his head in that scene?

I don't know, I saw it opening night and that is the only time I saw it, but that was how I explained it to my girlfriend afterwards. So if I'm wrong I was wrong then.
