She did order the hit on herself. That's why he's cashing 'her' check in the morning. He's a hitman- so I imagine he has no qualms about people ordering hits on themselves. I read this one and it was never explained why she ordered the hit on herself, but I would imagine it was the same circumstances as Goldie (if not THE same circumstance)- someone was going to do a lot worse to her if she didn't do something about it first. I was kind of hoping the Dwight story took place before the Marv one and Kevin was on the elevator. Her death would have been more fitting.

I've got nothing to liken it to because I've never seen anything like it. (And most likely neither have you.)

...that the girl at the end of the movie and the girl at the end of the movie had put hits on each other. Josh was cashing the check she had paid for the hit on the girl at the end.

And my take on the movie: Loved the Goldie episode--my favorite of the Sin City graphic novels. And the movie overall was a cinematic treat; however, unless it has some extra features on the DVD, this version is not a keeper.

Imagine if The Crow had been filmed the same as the graphic novel. It would have been a classic.

I've been waiting for today! October 1st is Sin City opening day in Japan. At last I saw Sin City.*whistle*. This is f**king awesome! Terrific! Brilliant! Fabulous! Oh, I'm still excited! What a excellent visual! I got astonished.

All the men were tough, all the women were beautiful and tougher than men. In the movie, Mickey Rourke was perfect. I've never seen like this Mickey Rourke. I'm not his fan, but I like him in Sin City. Also Bruce Willis and Clive Owen were good casting. Elijar Wood and Nick Stahl were creepy!*shivers*. Anyway, I like all characters, but one of my favorite reasons is........Jessica Alba! (Did I say it in Fantastic Four, too?) Big Grin

I've never read graphic novels before, but now I'm very interested. Smile

My favorite line;"Marv was just born in the wrong century. He belongs on some ancient battlefield, swinging an ax into somebody's face. But here he is, here and now. And whoever killed the woman of his dreams is going to pay. In blood."

Actually this movie has a lot of great lines. Very cool. I want to see sequels!

If you like Jessica Alba.... have you seen this? I don't know if the movie is any good, but you'll probably like the trailer. Wink

I thought it was fantastic too.

I was really glad to see Mickey Rourke get a really good role in the film. I've always liked him. I guess he's a little strange, but he's a terrific "character" guy to me. He is really able to run the spectrum of characters. He's been doing basic bit parts for quite a while, so it's great to see him in a prominent, role in a great film.

It reminded me of "The Deep"
