bones weep tedium Wrote:I think that 'Sin City Style' of film making is getting a little bit over done now. It's a gimmick that won't sustain another film before the appeal is thoroughly used up. It looks like Sin City mk.02, and to be honest I didnt think much of Sin City mk.01 anyway.

I'm not sure whether Frank Miller is ever going to redeem himself in my eyes after the abysmal Dark Knight 2.

Quote:Sin City mk.01 was a violent work of art. So, until you can recommend something better, I'll keep on liking it.

Or do you sign your posts for the same reason that you sign your kills? :eek:

Wapitikev Wrote:I own the comics...I appreciate them compared to other comics. In that same vein I appreciate the movie versions versus other movies. Since Hollywood has shown such damn poor taste that they've left Repairman Jack I: Claws of the Rakoshi unmade, I have very few cinematic options to which Sin City and 300 compare unfavourably.

Quote:As you well know (and have commented negatively on, before, friendo) some of my posts are longer than a normal screen-height...so I sign my posts for two reasons:

A) out of courtesy to the reader so that they don't have to scroll back to the top of my post to see who the hell the wacko was that wrote the magazine article

...and...

B) out of habit from doing so in A)

You may use this post as an example of A). For all shorter posts, please refer to B).

I am truly and deeply sorry that it offends you to see me type my name at the bottom of each post.

Heh.

The film is a gimmick stretched out over 90minutes. The comics span awesome-average in various respects, but I don't think that they work well as storyboards at all.

A lot of movies are weak becasue they stray from the source material too much. I felt that Sin City was too faithful.

You bastard. You didnt even sign your name at the bottom in this one. I'll see you hang for this. :mad:
