There is a sneak preview about 5 minutes away from me tonight, and I just heard about it about an hour ago - I'm thinking of driving over there and demanding tickets, since its so close  . |

I l-o-v-e-d this movie, albeit not for the reasons I was expecting. I think most of you guys will have a freaking BALL with this flick. Enjoy!
Also, there's an interview piece with Robert Rodriguez over at JoBlo's and here's what the director had to say about the DVD:
| We shot the full stories of the books, and I knew we could truncate it down, knowing that we weren't going to lose any scenes; eventually they would all be available for people to see. So the DVD will come out with the theatrical cut, and then there'll be a separate disc that's got the individual episodes separated with their own title card, and you can just watch The Big Fat Kill from beginning to end, the full cut. That's a single story. Then switch over and watch The Yellow Bastard and that's forty five minutes. It'll have all the material back in. So it'll be like the experience of picking up the book, where you pick up one story and you read it from beginning to end. And it'll have all the material in it. You can have, you know, shuffle your own version of the movie and just watch them all separately. |

Great news. I figured Weinberg would like this one. He likes the blud and guts!
Ebert gave it  here
Can't wait. Great news about the DVD breaking out each story. I'll be interested to see how RR weaves them in the film.
Take care,
Chuck |

Ok, some things I'm really getting annoyed with in movie reviews.
I've read a few of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the negative ones, to see how people could not love the Sin City stories.
Exactly as I expected, all the knocks are against the violence and the sexism.
I just love how I've read several reviews who said the movie was entertaining and cinematically well done, but all that darn violence was offensive and unnecessary.
Oh well, to each their own, I guess I now know which movie reviewers look for the same things in movies as myself .
Ebert's review was outstanding, might I add, as I just finished reading it 10 seconds ago. |

I'm not surprised Ebert liked it. Visually bold films always get good reviews from him.

Robert Rodriguez on the Sin City DVD special features from JoBlo's interview:
Quote:

And then I'm gonna add on another…it'll be a twenty minute film school, probably for this one, cause there's so many things that - and I want another ten minute cooking school to be “Sin City Breakfast Tacos,” which I'll make a home-made flour tortilla, and it's the best meal you can probably ever learn, so yeah.

But...where's the "Ten Minute Fucking School"?!

I just caught the end of an interview on NPR this morning. They said an extended interview is on-line, but I haven't found it yet.

Went to the midnight showing last night. Thankfully I got there about 40 minutes before the show, because to my surprise, it was sold out by the end, and the theater was packed tight. The film was of course incredible, and I will try to see it again later. Glad they're already thinking of making more, and the DVD will be mine as soon as it's released.
