SIN CITY

[DeathsHand]

I havn't seen a movie in the theater for quite awhile, I'm planning on going to see this one Friday as it looks quite swell...

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.

Good call strangler.

I've read the sin city books but none of frank miller's other books.

I want to bad.

And, I'm definately seeing this movie on opening weekend. I've been drooling over this movie for a while. gah

Recently read The Dark Knight Returns. Might have Klaus Janson as one of my professors in the fall. *cross fingers*

As for the movie, just wanna be sure I read everything it's based on. Are these the only ones or are there more of the shorter shorties in it too?

- The Customer Is Always Right
- The Hard Goodbye
- The Big Fat Kill
- That Yellow Bastard

I pretty much read everything including the shorter stories except for Family Values and Hell and Back.

[Vampyr]

I own the Dark Knight Returns...and it is fantastic. Probably my favorite comic novel that I have ever read. I was hooked from the moment I read the introduction. It sent shills down my spine.

I havn't heard of those other books Strangler, but I'm definatly going to hit ebay and look for them.

And yeah...Jessica Alba is one of the sexiest women on earth.

[Professor S]

Just so you guys know, The Watchmen (a quality/legendary graphic novel I pointed out before) is now in pre-production, accoreding to IMDB, with a budget estimated at over $100,000,000.

This makes me happy

um, I guess I didnt make myself clear...

Style wise...the way the movie looks like moving comic book. That's how I wanted to labell it the 'modernized Dick Tracy'

I know nothing about the story or premise of Sin City, and I never pretended to...

[Professor S]
