Obviously, they were casting her for box office results, which is funny because, as she's proven with her last bunch of films, she doesn't even guarantee that!<BR/><BR/>I also agree with you about Carla Gugino. Wowzers. Now, that was proper casting. I also thought that Elijah Wood was a real surprise. I had no idea he could play such a creepy character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-79416157292377929962008-08-08T14:43:00.000-04:002008-08-08T14:43:00.000-04:00Great post...Really the only problem I have with t...Great post...Really the only problem I have with the film is Alba (whom I don't dislike but she's out of her element big time here and is distracting at best)...otherwise, it's one of my favorites of the decade and if I can be just a guy for a second...my heart literally stopped during Carla Gugino's sections.<BR/>oh and Mickey proved himself once again as one of the true greats here...Nostalgia Kinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506680500183270767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-49507248745894487362008-07-31T16:42:00.000-04:002008-07-31T16:42:00.000-04:00the king of cool:Agreed.

I wish Rodriguez would stop dicking around with RED SONJA and the zillion other projects he's juggling at the moment and get back to SIN CITY 2.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-48500188208264872122008-07-31T11:47:00.000-04:002008-07-31T11:47:00.000-04:00I loved Sin City.

I guess, coming at it from the angle where I was a huge fan of the source material, I kinda got past the "look" of the film and got into the content, which is good ol' pulpy fun. But it really is a film that invites repeat viewings. There is a lot going on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-11057009469424331972008-07-30T06:24:00.000-04:002008-07-30T06:24:00.000-04:00This is a film I need a repeat viewing of, somethi...This is a film I need a repeat viewing of, something about it didn't sit right with me. <BR/><BR/>It looked beautiful, some wonderful original and striking ideas, like you say in your essay 'Finally, somebody has realized that the panels of a comic book are perfect storyboards for a movie adaptation'.<BR/><BR/>And I think that's where I have the problem with the film as I spent the majority of it spent in admiration of the film process rather than enjoying the actual film. <BR/><BR/>Great piece though, once again you've got me re-thinking my original perception. <BR/><BR/>On a seperate note, I've tagged you to take part in a 12 movies meme.

So far, the trailers for THE SPIRIT look like a retread of SIN CITY and for anybody who's read the original comic book, it doesn't resemble Miller's comic in the slightest!<BR/><BR/>But you're right, Rodriguez and Miller made a great team and really taught each other a lot and it shows in the final product.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-18627405125751083292008-07-29T07:40:00.000-04:002008-07-29T07:40:00.000-04:00Sin City is great for what it is; Miller and Rodri...Sin City is great for what it is; Miller and Rodriguez worked great together, too. I'm not sure it's something they can recreate again. They seemed to hold back each other's excesses. For example, Miller's The Spirit doesn't seem to have any of what made Sin City work.Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.com
