Well, I expect him to "turn him" -- how about an undead alien superhero?

Would the kryptonite still bring him low?

I always liked Frank Langella as the evil Chief of State Bob Alexander in Dave.

You're LINT! You're a FLEA! You're a BLIP!

(And of course, Dave's response to this: "Well, maybe I am. But you're fired.")

I love Dave.

From the New Yorker review of Sin City:

Here is something that we never thought to see. Something that exists beyond the bounds of logic: a scary Elijah Wood. Presumably, the actor looked around, seeking a film that would dispel the ripe aroma of Frodo Baggins, happened upon “Sin City,” and found the role of Kevin – a mute, bespectacled type who removes the heads of young women and dines upon the rest of them. Wood is ominously good at the stillness of this maniac, which only doubles the shock. It’s like discovering that Gandalf used to lure young hobbits into a shed and show them his special wand.

"Special wand." Hee.

Yeah, one thing I've heard that I think is going to be very weird about SIN CITY is watching Frodo Baggins gnawing off a mostly naked Karen Sisco's hand

Frankenbuddha:

You don't actually see it, you just hear her describing it. Although we can always hope, on the DVD, that it'll be in the deleted scenes.

Frank, you don't actually see that. Thankfully.

Heh. X-posty but with different reactions.

My 76-year-old mom is amenable to seeing Sin City with us this weekend. She is pretty openminded--she really liked Pulp Fiction, for example, and likes new stuff and stylistically interesting work. She has already said she has no problem going ot the lobby if it gets too graphic (bless her heart) but I am worried the whole thing will just be too horrible for her, and we are better off looking for something else. I don't want her to spend the whole damn movie in the lobby, y'know what I'm sayin?

I haven't seen Sin City yet, so maybe I shouldn't weigh in, but from what I've read here, and what you say about her, I can't imagine there would be a problem.

I don't know Robin. It's way more violent and gory than Pulp Fiction, the violence is all just cartoonised so that the impact is somewhat less visceral. And there is little humor to break up the violence. Also, the portrayal of women is pretty abysmal. They're all victims, whores or objects.
