Does any one else think this is going to be amazing?

So stylish, so noir.. OMG. I don't know about the rest of you, but also have Bruce Willis in it is a big plus for me.

Has anyone read the comics?

I don't know much about Sin city, but I was thinking a "Sim City" movie would be pretty far out. With the small guy with the glasses who appeared in the SNES version, he could be like the main star. Yea, not a bad idea at all.

Apple Pro Underwear · Dec 25, 2004, 09:06 PM

my only thing is bruce willis

when he is in a movie...

it becomes a "bruce willis movie"

but i like everything else.

Mafia · Dec 25, 2004, 10:12 PM

looks awesome, but you can never tell with a movie like that. preview definitely made me want to see it tho.

Cubeoid · Dec 25, 2004, 10:18 PM

I think it has Devon Aoki, she's totally hot.

SOLIDAge · Dec 26, 2004, 01:06 AM

Anyone know the name of the music in the back?
it's pretty awesome.
the trailer looks so good.

Gankdawg · Dec 27, 2004, 06:30 AM

Pass. Jessica Alba's hot though.

mdc · Dec 27, 2004, 10:17 AM

the style of the movie looks really neat. i'll be waiting for this one.

paully dub · Dec 27, 2004, 10:40 AM

It's not a comic, it's a movie, live action at that. So why the hell do we need the grotesquely bizarre face.

Doesn't work for me.

Komisar · Dec 27, 2004, 10:55 AM

I think Bruce Willis should star in SimCity 4000. A story of a young mayor who builds his city in 3 hours and forgets to save.

wdlove · Dec 27, 2004, 01:53 PM

I imagine that it will be pretty good with Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood.

jcadam · Dec 27, 2004, 02:31 PM

Ahh, that trailer makes my tongue hard. Will definitely make sure I see that.

Makes me wish life was in black in white with li'l bits of exagerrated colorization here and there.

Judge_Fire · Dec 27, 2004, 04:41 PM

Interesting, though I'm waiting for someone to dare attempt Elektra: Assassin (Miller/Sienkiewicz)

Check it, bro':
www.elektrathemovie.com

Stars Jennifer Garner, who I can't seem to decide is hot or not. It has some elements of Elektra: Assassin, and hopefully is way better than Daredevil was.

As for Sin City....I'm looking forward to it, along with all the other comic-based movies coming out next year (especially Batman Begins)!

Shaddim · Dec 27, 2004, 08:17 PM

Ooooo... Frank Miller! *cha-ching*

I'm seeing that.

What, no Affleck in the Elektra flick?

I suppose that answers whether or not she died in Daredevil.

Komisar · Dec 27, 2004, 08:29 PM

Will mewtwo come back from pokemon to star in this movie?

90% of movie stars are about as hot as the pretty girl you see in the street

jennifer garner looks about the same as most pretty white chicks.

there are definately a few celebrities that are overwhelmingly beautiful. IMO, heather locklear is one.

what he said... I wouldn't pay for this movie... its more like the kind of movie you wait for a friend to buy/rent then you borrow it...

But I'm sure I'd enjoy Jessica Alba as a stripper...

Kenneth · Dec 28, 2004, 12:31 AM

I watched the trailer on big screen and it was amazing. I like the casts as well. Clive Owen is cool.. but NOT Elijah Wood.

jonasmac · Dec 28, 2004, 01:26 AM

Elijah Wood = Annoying

I got real tired of him in "Return of the King," but man, was he real annoying in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (great film, BTW).

Are you serious? Rodriguez got the look of the artwork down pat.

Demonhood · Mar 31, 2005, 02:06 AM

The stylish hyper-contrast look is a must see. Blood spurts out glowing white, limbs are severed with alarming frequency, eunuchs are forcibly made. It's glorious.

i read somewhere that Elijah's character doesn't talk in the movie.

but he looks totally badass. i dunno, must be the whited-out glasses.

E's Lil Theorem · Mar 31, 2005, 02:42 AM

Alba, Aoki, Jaime King, Murphy, Willis, Owen, Del Toro == I'm game!

there are 2 characters that have no lines.
and they're both pretty fierce.

The Godfather · Apr 8, 2005, 08:49 PM

I just watched Sin City today. Six thumbs up!

My heart pumps for Devon Aoki. Move over Lucy Liu

sums it up perfectly. *great* movie.

Yeah, It wasn't so AWESOME if you read the comics, all of the cinematography is done already in the comics.

ThinkInsane · Apr 8, 2005, 09:39 PM

I thought it was great. This is how a comic should be put on the screen.

Mickey Rourke has undone the years of harm he's done to movie making with this role. Clive Owen is incredible.

This ones a keeper.

I haven't read the comics. So you're saying if I had read the comics then I would have thought it was totally stupid?

RonnieoftheRose · Apr 9, 2005, 03:53 PM

What's the fuss? It's just another movie with people beating the **** out of each other.

have you seen it? i see no fuss except that people like the movie. and the style of cinematography has never been done before.

budster101 · Apr 9, 2005, 04:06 PM

I saw a program about the making of "Sin City" and it was very cool. I love how they decided to make a movie that represented the art without compromise. It was B&W, and from the clips I saw, it is right on the money. Very cool.

Actually it has been done. It's the same technique used in Sky Captain but in black and white and taking the graphic novel as its storyboard. Even Sky Captain wasn't the first. People say 'never been done before' when they haven't watched enough movies. They've been doing this in Japan and China for a few years now.

It's still people beating each other up. I prefer The Crow.

Mafia · Apr 9, 2005, 04:15 PM

lol. the visual stylings of sin city is incredibly different then what was done in sky captain and the world of tommorow. the way this movie was shot is completely unique to frank miller's novels. but nice try.

btw the crow sucks.

Are you kidding? The technological hurdles were amazingly bounded over -- the way snow and rain were shown, the way the bricks and mortar were reversedly displayed in light and night, in general the effects were new.

OT: can you please point me to a post in which you have a sunny disposition?

It's been done very well but the Chinese and Japanese have already been doing it.

None at the moment!

Aw **** I have it when I have to do this. I'll try to look up all the titles if I've got a spare moment but between work deadlines and Lumines posting on MacNN...**** life isn't long enough.

Sin City is great Mad Magazine material regardless. Waiting for the parody.

RonnieoftheRose · Apr 9, 2005, 04:33 PM

Just remembered one thing that I can say. The Japanese manga XIII had the same look, graphic and high contrast black and white. Originally the game adaptation had the same look but the developers went for full color cartoon glory because it was too adult.
