Elijah Wood is going to creep me the bugfuck out in Sin City. I see it coming, but it's not going to stop me watching it, no sir. I've watched the trailer about a bazillion times now. So very pretty.
My love for me now / Ain't hard to explain / The Hero of Canton / The man they call...ME.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I saw the Sin City preview last night finally and HOLY FUCK!
I gotta see that movie.
Gotta give Rodriguez props for staying faithful to the visuals.
And Frank Miller and Quentin Tarantino.
How many directors does one movie need?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to give Rodriguez the props, since in everything I've read, it was his choice.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Sean, did you see it at the theater? Or online? Because I want to know what it looks like on the big screen.

Fair enough. Though I can't imagine how, since Miller was right there, it was made without some input from him.
Quentin was there just to be Quentin, I imagine.

On TV, during the Simpsons. I too would like to know how it looks on the big screen.

Not to mention that Miller should get some props in there somewhere for having done the drawings that Rodriguez chose to emulate, n'est pas?

Well, if I was giving props for creating the visuals, I'd give them to Miller. But I'm not. Rodriguez's insistence on sticking to source material is reflected in the adherence to visuals, and in making sure Frank Miller was right up in the project.
For that I give Robert props. Doesn't take anything away from Miller -- his good works are other.

Hayden,cool! Can you believe the HFQ?!(Dude, it's a gritty show and I was manifestly surprised,I thought there could be an upgrade, profanity-wise.) And I want it in my obit that I taught David Simon the expression HSQ although he's been applying the skill for a very long time. Been watching season 2 again, but stopped for a bit because Frank Sobatka makes me cry like a little girl. Guess I need crimping up, still. Maybe it was even "HMFSHQ" Damn, that's The Bomb. I've done everything I can do but get on my knees to save it...would that be solicitation...Levy would know. "I'm like a marriage counselor...here so he remembers to bring flowers and she remembers to suck a little cock." It would be funny, if not terribly productive, if Simon brings a bouquet to the next sit-down with the brass.
