It'll be more like the Crazy 88s fight in Kill Bill. I think.
Because it's black-and-white, that's exactly how a lot of it comes across. Except unlike in Kill Bill, there are also guns. And people getting reamed with bullets.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

Steph, don't go see it. I wish I'd been a little better-informed as to the full extent of the violence. I can handle a fair amount of blood and gore, but Sin City (like Kill Bill) definitely exceeded my limits about a half hour in. Not that it's not a good movie, 'cause I think it probably is, but I watched a lot of it through my fingers, so it's hard for me to tell.

I was just going to say that the violence is so cartoonish, I barely noticed it. But if you are on the sensitive side, stick with Kate.
I liked it in many ways, but nothing about it made me say "Yay!" But aside from one storyline being too long and Jamie King sucking like a Hoover, I have no specific complaints.
I do have a few theories...

Are you referring to her performance, or how she got the job in the first place?

Bwah! That would explain a lot.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bob also advised me against seeing it because of my aversion to gore, Steph. So I'm skipping it, Clive Owen be damned.

I watched "You'll Never Get Rich." I didn't love it. I mean, I loved the dancing, and I loved Rita Hayworth, but I hated the fact that Fred Astaire's character was all over the place. Sometimes he was in control, smart, and logical, but more often he was a lying idiot, who was a tiny bit creepy. And I didn't care so much for that. It made it difficult to like him, and I love Fred Astaire.

He had the best jokes of anyone working. Truly a tragic loss.

In the boys dressing room at the musical (where I'm usually helping out), they've been playing all of Mitch Hedberg's cd's on a loop for the past few days. It's really just very sad.
