ShadowLord Wrote:My daughter forced me to take her to Sin City this weekend.I didn't expect much of the film which is perhaps why I enjoyed it.
The film genre was much like a "dime store paperback" being turned into a movie..and it worked.
Lots of action -- fun to watch -- no real theme or moral statement to be made.
Any one else out there watch the film?

(Did I hear it was based on comic books?)

Alan Wrote:Exactly, the correct term is graphic novel. Also, I prefer Trekker to Trekkie.
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Exactly! The phenomenon is pretty much over now, but in the 70s conventions I attended, Trekkies were sad clowns who wore Spock ears. Trekkers, on the other hand, were sad clowns who wore Spock ears but =talked= about the episodes. You might be a lifeform who knows his way around the ficton of the Federation, Alan. What show had Dr. McCoy yelling into his communicator, "Damn you, Spock!--I'm not beaming up without Jim!"
