Wall of Mouths

“secretary” = Eric.

Whatever :p

True man, you guys have had it since April 1st if I’m not mistaken. Lucky :) I’ve heard nothing but good stuff about it from everyone that’s seen it. A Dame To Kill for is actually the only Sin City graphic novel I don’t have, as I’ve never been able to track down a copy :mad: Will have to get on that one sharp-ish.

Edit: just saw your mention of April 1st. D’oh.

I already heard they are going to do another movie covering the last three books.

FN yeah I heard that too. Can’t fucking wait.

Hooker = Japanese.

Nail gun = Black & Decker.

“But your honour, I can assure you it was an accident. It wasn’t premeditated”

“Uh-huh. Mr D, are you familiar at all with an Internet message board called Wall of Mouths?”

“Shit. Okay, I confess. I murdered her with an icepick and a copy of Clive Barker’s collective works.”

I have that book and yes. I think with enough time and a good shot I could take out a small thin hooker.

Saw it last night.

Nice and violent.

I found that although I loved the movie and how it stuck to the comic books faithfully, it seemed to drag on.

My solution when it comes out on dvd- I’m going to watch it in chapters. That should help!

Okay, here are a few thoughts:

- Using three storylines (the three different books) and jumping back and forth is quite a good idea. It’s an idea taken from Pulp Fiction, but good nonetheless.

- The casting for this was near-perfect. I wasn’t too sure about Brittany Murphy’s acting (“You damned fool, you damned fool” was a bit over-dramatic) but a stellar cast otherwise.

- The women looked hot, the guys looked cool and the violence was gratuitous (sp?).

This is basically a comic book brought to life without any bullshit commercialisation put in to ruin the experience for the fanboys. Anyone who’s a hardcore fan of the books cannot be disappointed or else they’re just elitist ingrates. FACT!

No, it IS taken from Pulp Fiction. The comics were released separately, so you did get each story on its own all the way through. Rodriguez is going to include the possibility of seeing each story separately on the Special Edition DVD.

Ugh. Those little tidbits where a character from one story appears in another one is not what I referred to when I said

When Marv is sitting in the saloon in ‘That Yellow Bastard’ in the comic book, that is STILL ‘That Yellow Bastard’. When reading ‘That Yellow Bastard’, after Hartigan gets shot, you don’t see Marv and Goldie making love on the next page, do you? No. Because that’s a different story. So when that happened in the film, that was Rodriguez and Miller’s adaptation.

Quote (author unknown):

And there are movies before pulp fiction that did the overlaping storylines. Mostly independent forigen movies…

I’m sure there were films that did that, although I haven’t seen any that did. The point is, would this film have done it if Pulp Fiction hadn’t done it? There’s less of a probability of it doing so.

So you didn’t like the film?

Why didn’t you like it? I don’t see how it could have been done better. The only difference between this and the comics is what I’ve pointed out, and since you already said you consider it all to be one story…
