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
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Frank, you don't actually see that. Thankfully.
Heh. X-posty but with different reactions.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

Not to mention that most of them are killers, just like most (all?) of the men.

Ann, that's a ferret.
After reading the above whitefont, I think I'll stick with Dick Powell movies.

Oh great, so all the women are lushes instead. :)

Frank, that's William Powell. Dick Powell was the young male singer in a ton of '30s musicals. "We're in the Money" and "Lullaby of Broadway" were from movies he starred in.
OMG, I just realized. He was the '30s version of Josh Harnett -- but sang!
