Back on the Sin City thing...

I saw a trailer on kraydon's journal. This was my response:

My impression of the trailer (I've read the comics) is that they absolutely nailed everything with Marv. He's perfect. He's like the comic book Marv but in motion. His scenes look just like the comic.

Everybody else? Eh. Though they also have Jessica Alba doing a pretty convincing Nancy there, other than the not-topless thing and the ominous fact that she'll have to a do some scenes later that require more acting ability and less cute undulation.

But Marv? Shit, now I'm gonna go see that movie just for him. Gimme. Hope there's a lot of him. If everybody else sucks, I've still spent a quite excusable nine bucks.

[For the record, there is almost no Kevin, aka Frodo, aka Elijah Wood in the trailer here. So I have no clue how good or bad he is in this. But the brief visions of him looked promising, especially combined with how good most of Marv's scenes look. Kevin appears almost exclusively solo or with Marv.]

I didn't really care a whole lot one way or the other for the comic, but honestly when I first saw that trailer a whole new love blossomed in my heart.

well, ok, maybe not, but still, it looks awesome. At the very least, we will see the redemption of Mickey Rourke (not that beating the shit out of Enrique Iglesias wasn't a good point along those lines).

Wog. What a cast! Looks very intriguing.

I was a little disappointed that Jessica Alba plays Nancy instead of one of the other 'girls.' I mean, Nancy, at least as drawn, is a BIG girl.

Yeah. Sadly, you'd have more trouble in a movie making that central a (partly nude) character a big girl.

*I'd* got see it, obviously, but Hollywood's not as big on that.
