Sin City…

Or what to do graphically with a comic book, and what not to do vocally with a movie.

The movie was interesting. We got there late, but as for the movie’s sake i’m sure we missed nothing. The dialogue reeked. It was that corny testosterone laden dialogue. A few quotes from www.imdb.com:
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Dwight: It’s time to prove to your friends that you’re worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Becky: Oh sugar, you just gone and done the dumbest thing in your whole life.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Jack Rafferty: Babydoll, I’ve had one bad day. I’ve been beaten up everytime I turn around.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Lucille: Settle down Marv, take another pill.
Marv: Hey! There is no settling down! This is blood for blood and by the gallons. This is the old days, the bad days, the all or nothing days. They’re back!
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Dwight: I’m Shellie’s new boyfriend, and I’m out of my mind. You ever so much as talk to Shellie again, you even think her name, and I’ll cut you in ways that’ll make you useless to a woman.
Jack Rafferty: You’re making a big mistake, pal. A big mistake.
Dwight: Yeah? You already made a big mistake yourself: You didn’t flush.

Graphically the movie was gorgeous, and violent. Mostly violent.

Oh well i suggest watching it if you can get past the horrid dialogue. There was a scene where these models were standing on the ledge raining bullets down into a crowd of men and i’m watching them thinking that they should at least try and act like they are shooting, instead of acting like they are models shooting. Then there is horrid line about how his “valkaryie” is enjoying the kill and the woman he refers to is making this god awful ugly face.

I’m analyzing the film to much. To many scenes were so bad that people were laughing at the absurdity. Maybe thats a good thing? I mean absurdity is funny sometimes.

I’m tired. Overall i enjoyed tonight. I really want to hang out with Trey and HLF again sometime.
