Sin City (2005) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

James Rogers

So glad I had the theatrical cut on blu ray. When I'm watching this I almost feel like I'm reading a graphic novel. Great way to close out the week.

If you're looking for another wild Clive Owen film, check out Shoot 'Em Up.

Some other people have sort of said this, but the "extended cut" isn't really a cut, to my recollection. As you can guess, the graphic novel is just individual stories, and the extended version restores the movie to that format, so it's basically just longer, separated versions of the three short stories from the movie, and as I mentioned on a previous post, they play the credits for each segment so part of the extended time is total BS. One other thing is that while only Sin City, The Spirit, and Sin City 2 look exactly like this, there are a small handful of additional movies that look *sort of* like this. In the mid-2000s there was a small amount of excitement around the idea of "digital backlot" productions. These movies are shot almost exclusively on greenscreen with almost no actual sets, just platforms and boxes and stuff so that people can sit or whatever. Costumes are real and most of the props are real but that's about it. The other most notable example of this beyond the above there are mostly from Robert Rodriguez, who was the biggest proponent of the technology. The third Spy Kids was shot like this, and some of his subsequent movies. The most famous example beyond that is probably Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004). Quentin Tarantino directed one scene of the film, which was Dwight in the car with Jackie Boy's talking corpse. The colored edge lighting sort of makes it stand out from the look of the rest of the film and is a subtle hint that this part was someone else's work. I have never bothered to watch Sin City 2, A Dame to Kill For, which was made quite a few years later. Maybe it's not very good, but if I were ever going to watch it, it'd be fun to watch it with you two, especially if Dan hasn't seen that one. Also, yes, The Spirit is widely hated (Frank Miller directed that one solo, without Rodriguez), but I had already been kind of in the mood to sit through it again and frankly that'd be fun to see too, but I also understand that with a limited amount of time in the day, better to focus on movies that weren't disastrously received.

Frank Miller was a very important comic book artist and writer in the 80's and 90's. He created iconic storylines for Batman, Daredevil and Wolverine. Sin City was his baby and features all of his qualities, vices and quirks as an artist. It's the hardboiled/crime genres, taken to its extreme with a sprinkle of japanese iconography, hyper-masculine anti-heroes and women as either femme fatales or damsels in distress. Also prostitutes, a whole town of them. Miller might be the best or at least the most influential libertarian comic book artist. A very interesting guy, with lots of demons and a very up and down careers from the 2000's onwards. As a New Yorker he was deeply traumatized by 9/11 and even wrote a 2011 book called Holy Terror which is just full on anti-muslim propaganda. Though he admitted in 2018 having regrets about it and the anger which he felt when he wrote it.

Yup. Extended Time Is Partially Bullshit also applies to the LotR Extended Cuts: 20 minutes each out of each of them are FAN CLUB MEMBERS lmao.
