Sin City

Quote from: "Mr. Analog"I could join you on the number 8, as long as your car is fixed when we get there lol (j/k)

Plugh, the #8 only goes so far... then at Lakewood or MillwoodsTown it's the 74 to South Common, be warned

There's apparently some express bus, a new route through South Common but it might be Saturday only...

I'm saying this based on the likelihood of Broken Car not being transmogrified into Working Car. And Mr. A feeling up to coming - which I presume is a make-it-or-break-it for our plans..

D'oh, okay so through all this I presume it's still a go right? I feel like Donny in The Big Lebowski sometimes

I'm in... will be at South Commons by 6:30PM

Darren Dirt · April 04, 2005, 03:31:46 PM

6:30 I'll be there too - PS: it's totally gonna rock, it's almost at #100 in the IMDB top 250!!! (Peter Jackson eat yer NZ heart out!) - heck even Ubersnob Ebert likes it! (not to mention all the 100% ratings on http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/sincity and http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sin_city/ )

Darren Dirt · April 04, 2005, 04:49:40 PM

Curses, them brain-mushing brain-mushers! (aka management).

We'll miss ya buddy, hopefully it's "SO GOOD*" that one of us joins you for a re-viewing on Tues or Wed...

*Gadzooks, that Strongbad's TGS is plentifully quotable...

Good? Bad? Ugly?

Melbosa · April 05, 2005, 10:55:53 AM

I thought it was good... not great but good. Just didn't have the *wow* feature I was hoping for.

I think Ustauk and DD really liked it though.

Ustauk · April 05, 2005, 11:16:44 AM

I thought it was a pretty good movie. Not the best I've seen but pretty good. Very stylish, and some of the dialogue reminded me of a fifthties movie, but that was appropriate given the source material's intentions.

Mr. Analog · April 05, 2005, 01:11:55 PM

So on par with say, Hellboy?

Sounds about right, I'd say.

I'd say Hellboy is a better movie in my books.

Can you really compare the two?

They are both comic-to-film translations, so I hope so.

Not directly, know, but I'd say I derived about even satisfaction from both.
