LOL, I hope it's at least half as dumb as the original, because when it comes out on video, my buddy and I can rip on it while some of our other friends get all butthurt that we don't love it
Yeah, I agree with you. But then it's one of those 'comic-book-for-adults-so-it-makes-it-okay-to-like'. It's shit.
I always thought that guy had Italian background (his name sounds Italian), but apparently he was Irish. :dunno:
Spillane is an Irish name... Would more properly be pronounced Spill-ANN, but gets Americanized as Spill-ANE... Like many Irish names, it once had an "O" in front of it ("Grandson of") My great grandmother was a Kissane, same kind of pronunciation and it also once had an "O" ... Kis-SAN... Their are a shitload of them in Kerry and an area called "Moll's Gap" is named for a Molly Kissane, who was a long ago ancestor of mine...
I loved the stylization of the first one. Little disappointed to see Frank Miller directing instead of Robert Rodriguez. I imagine that's what held up the production of it to begin with.
Ahhhhh, the movie snob is at it again........ The first Sin City was a damn good movie, and I'm excited for this one.
It's over the top on purpose. Don't know how you can rip on a movie, that's basically taking the piss out of the genre to begin with. It didn't take itself seriously, it's supposed to be ridiculous. The black & white scenery, and the caricaturization of every character, is what made it fun to me.
IMO, you give the creators way too much credit I didn't see much tongue-in-cheek about it, especially from that hack Rodriguez
I think most of Rodriguez's stuff is hacky tongue-in-cheek works of art. Most of it doesn't really work for me either, but I like what he did with "Sin City" in tandem with Frank Miller as the consultant. It's an over the top cartoon. I dug it. I'm also a big fan of "300" (also a Miller creation), which is basically an over the top faux historical fantasy film. In the wrong hands, that style can be awful (see STARZ "Spartacus). I think both Zack Snyder and Robert Rodriguez handled their material about as well as could possibly be done, outside of a straight up animated feature.
Frank Miller directed the atrocious 'The Spirit' in this same style and it sucked so much that it is among my top ten worst movies ever made. The only redeeming thing it had was a brief shot of Eva Mendez ass and that was it.
Acting doesn't look as sharp and some of the actors seem miscast. Hope I'm wrong, but noway this comes close to the original, which was a very good film.
