Sin City is...

AWESOME!

I wish there were something bigger than <h1>. No, really. A few reasons why:

  • Cyrus is a really big Frank Miller fan, and according to him the storyline is preserved almost perfectly from the books.
  • Quentin Tarentino is a guest producer, and you can tell. Jeffrey Westhoff's quote from rottentomatoes sums it up well (even though apparently he didn't like the movie—unwashed miscreant): "You know you've gone beyond run-of-the-mill movie violence when you need to use the plural for 'castrations.'" Yup.
  • The visual style is literally breathtaking. It's insanely cool.
  • Clive Owen is a badass.
  • Mickey Rourke is even more of a badass.
  • Elijah Wood is a fucking psycho.
  • Holy shit there are a lot of hot chicks in this movie.
  • No, really. Take a glance over the credits.

By the way, have any of y'all ever noticed how much Kurt looks like Josh Hartnett?

Also, one of the trailers before Sin City is for a movie called Domino that looks really cool. It's based on the true story of Domino Harvey, daughter of Laurence Harvey, who was a fucking bounty hunter. Samus-style, biaaaatch (but without the Metroid).
