The Sin City Topic - VGF

**Sean P Kelly** · 02-18-2005, 10:28 PM

It's only 6 weeks before this movie is released into theatres.

It's weird, but this movie has become one my most-anticipated movies of the pre-summer movie season.

I think it's the film-noir style that's gotten me interested.

For those of you who haven't seen in, the trailer can be found at http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/sin_city/ (and if you like the song in the trailer, it's called "Cells" by a British group called The Servant)

Also you can visit the official movie website at http://www.sincitythemovie.com/ (note: The website has some R-rated material on it, just so you know)

Edit: I was also looking around for info on the orignal comic book, and boy does the comic have interesting artwork. The art for the Sin City comic is basically just Black and White outlines.

Too see what I mean, you can see some of the artwork (and info about the comics) at http://hem.passagen.se/fm4/sincity.html

I want to see it. Like the way I want to see God.

Feh. What can I say? I was hooked back when 'Sin City' was a comic series; I almost have to see the movie.

**Sean P Kelly** · 02-19-2005, 08:53 PM

Interesting note: Even though the movie isn't out yet, there is chance that a sequel will be made, which would adapt the Sin City stories not covered in this movie. One of which, which WAS going to be part of this movie, but cut for length, would probably star Johnny Depp.

A new trailer is up over at Moviefone:

Hell, I haven't even read the COMIC and I want to see this movie.

Koga · 03-10-2005, 07:29 AM

I haven't read the comic either, and I'm looking forward to this one. The cast should make this one worth watching.

**Booyakasha** · 04-01-2005, 06:36 PM

Just saw it. Damned fine piece of work.

imported_Andrew · 04-01-2005, 09:20 PM

WOW

Insane stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those visual/cinemotography effects become the next bullet time. Brilliant.

Story still has me a little confused...I need some CliffNotes. Once more people see it I'll get more specific, but I'll just look on IMDB for now.

Also... best line evar... "Hey!"

ocarinagirl · 04-02-2005, 12:44 PM

Ohhhh....myyyyyyyy...gaaaaaawwwwwwwwd.

Saw it yesterday. It is the awesome. Period.

Tonberry2k · 04-03-2005, 05:28 AM

I saw it tonight and was... amazed. Great stuff.

[sage] · 04-03-2005, 12:00 PM

Awesome movie. Probably would've been a bit nauseating at some parts if it had been full color.

Serial Miller · 04-03-2005, 12:00 PM

Great movie. Saw it last night. Lots of violence, but it didn't detract.

**Sean P Kelly** · 04-03-2005, 05:56 PM

Just saw it.

Definitely unlike anything I ever seem. This is definitely was a comicbook on screen.

Can't wait for the sequel (there is already talks of one, with one the tales staring Johnny Depp)

Tonberry2k · 04-03-2005, 10:45 PM

It's the first movie I can think of that's sucked me in and not let go since I was a kid.

[sage] · 04-03-2005, 11:06 PM

^ wha?

Anyway, which of the three tales did you guys like best?

Personally I thought the one with Bruce Willis was the best one, although the other two were enjoyable.

The Joker · 04-04-2005, 09:08 AM

This is by far the truest movie adaptation of a comic book I have ever seen.

My favorites are The Big Fat Kill and The Yellow Bastard. I would advise any who aren't big comic book fans, to brace themselves for some classic 1940's-50's old school style gum-shoe dialouge/acting.

Most guys will like this movie, very few women will enjoy on the same level.

Tonberry2k · 04-04-2005, 11:07 AM

I loved "The Big Fat Kill".

**Sean P Kelly** · 04-04-2005, 02:00 PM

"The Hard Goodbye" and "That Yellow Bastard" were my favourite tale.

Personally, I found Clive Owen to be the least sympathetic of the 3 main characters.
