Sin


Originally uploaded by hundrednorth.
I am waiting downstairs for D so that the two of us can watch Sin City.

I thought it would be great.

Now I'm scared.

We had a friend over for dinner and she mentioned that someone she knew walked out after 10 minutes due to the violence.

Gratuitous violence of the comic book style, Japanese animation, Kill Bill variety... I can (mysteriously) handle. This is what I thought Sin City would be like.

Violence of the reality, drama, Schindler's List, babies suffering and crying out for their tortured mothers... are definitely NOT something I can watch, listen to, or read about without paying for it with about 6 months of insomnia.

I'm hoping it's a gratuitous blood splaying across the room and raining down on sullen, sexy breasts... kind of violence - where the bad guys always lose and the good guys are always in a bad mood.

Please. Please. Please.

(then again, school starting and insomnia might not be a bad idea)

EDIT: Okay, apart from the creepy farm reference that kept kicking me out of the show and reminding me of Willy Picton, the movie was amazing. Gratuitously violent, moody and probably quite a treat to see on the big screen. Bruce Willis - such a sexy guy.

I really had no desire to see this movie, but after reading your review, I just may go out and rent it.

what dragged you in?
- the gratuitous violence?
- the bloody breasts?
- bruce willis?

it is pretty violent, but in a cartoon kind of way so that although i winced, it was still entertaining.

man, i'm demented.

I fell asleep during Sin City...but I fall asleep during a lot of movies. What I saw was pretty good.

I'm not with ya on the bruce willis thing and slasher stuff. Woody Allen and sullen breasts is more my thing. I think there may be a bit of the lesbo in you. I'm o.k with that I think Brad Pitt is hot. :)

come now, isn't there a little "lesbo" in all of us?

It was classifying it with type of violent movies you listed you liked, Kill Bill, etc. I guiltily enjoy that type of movie. Bruce Willis doesn't hurt the appeal at all.

I loved it too, which was such a nice surprise.

And anyone who DOESN'T want to jump Jessica Alba is clearly asexual. Yum.

It was a treat on the big screen, but I only got to see the first half.
