Sin City seen

[cleolinda]

Well... now. I... kind of don't know what to say.


ETA: Let me clarify. I want to see it again so I won't be peeking through my fingers at all the jump scares and gore this time. It was worth the first $6, and it would be worth another $6.

ETA 2: Awwww, shit, another thunderstorm. Excuse me while I go back up my Word documents...

Was it worth shelling out the $20 for?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

O.o I'm going to see this in about 2 hours, and I have no clue if this is a positive or negative endorsement. Hmmm...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Go see it. Just don't eat too heavily beforehand.

[robot-sarah.livejournal.com]

WASN'T IT AMAZING?! :D :D :D

[leucocrystal]

I certainly thought so!

[viverra-libro.livejournal.com]

You can't leave it like that! There's a rule! I'm sure of it!

Was it good? Bad? Awful? Partly awesome and partly awful? We want to know!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It was good. Just very visceral and overwhelming and I need caffeine. And maybe some brain bleach for the parts with Elijah Wood and Nick Stahl.

is that a good I don't know what to say or a bad one? eeep

[brittanygrace.livejournal.com]

WHAT?!?!?! You, Cleolinda, doesn't know what to say???

No. No, I just won't accept that.

[genepool23.livejournal.com]

C'mon. Tell us everything you can about it in 15 minutes.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Jump scares! Gore! I can't wait!

$6? Damn, movies are cheap down South. I'm about to pay $7.75 here, and that's the student price.

I was going to ask you to start with like/don't like, but I guess the ETA answers that.

Soo jealous of you going to movies while I sit in an office - sigh.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

I'm going to see it in two hours. *IMPATIENT IMPATIENT IMPATIENT*

[agentsculder.livejournal.com]

I really liked it. But if gore is had for you to handle, I wouldn't go see it. But it is, without a doubt, a major cinematic achievement. I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen. I'll probbaly go see it again tomorrow. Hopefully there will not be a crying baby at that showing.

I have a review posted at my LJ if anyone is interested in reading it.

[(Anonymous)]

Gore doesn't bother me, but I think I would see it anyway based on the following magic three words "shirtless Clive Owen".

[takarakanashi.livejournal.com]

Yeah.. I heard Quentin Tarantino co-directed it... or guest directed... or something. So I decided that I'd try my hand at it. We're going to go see it prolly tomorrow... for free (my fiance' works at a movie theater).

I've already heard that it was quite bloody/gory... is it Kill Bill bloody/gory... or beyond that?

[robot-sarah.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really have the same effect as Kill Bill because it's in black and white. Or maybe it's just me. It's gory, yeah, but again, it just doesn't have the same effect on me because it's not in full color.

[zrath.livejournal.com]

I think I know where she's coming from.
There are some movies I've seen that are good, but that I don't feel very motivated to see again.
Like "Kill Bill Vol. 1". Or "Once Upon A Time In Mexico".
I could see it again, but I hesitate.

And then, there are the good movies I never want to see again.
Like "Requiem For A Dream". Or "Mystic River". Or "The Wall".
Seen it once, was enough. Good, but bad for my soul.

"Sin City" sounds like the first case.

I'll probably go see it, as soon as I get more bucks.

[pesky-pesky.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you. I never want to see those movies again, but that doesn't mean I disliked them, which makes me feel icky about myself.

[lizzyrose89.livejournal.com]

Most excellent. As soon as it's out over here, I'm going to see it. If, that is, I can manage to trick my friends into thinking it's a chick flick.... Erk!

[ruination.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I might be seeing it tonight! Thanks for the awesome reveiw! I can't wait to go now!!!

[longtimegone]

Awwww, shit, another thunderstorm. Excuse me while I go back up my Word documents...

Grrrr. I know. I work in Homewood but live in Inverness and I am dreading the drive home.

Grrrr.

[pens-pics-press.livejournal.com]

Sin City is good ? I'm so glad been dying to see it myslef. Did the email get to you ?
-press

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No, I never got an email. Let me check my junk folder.

[missbingley.livejournal.com]

That was exactly my reaction!

I knew it was going to be bloody, but that level of gore and scary jumps was just...it was interesting. I hate seeing scary movies in the theater for that reason. And it was just so--so different, I guess, though that's a dumb description. My head was spinning on the way out.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Seriously, the spinning is why I came home dazed. I'm still marshalling my thoughts.

All I know is, I really want me one of those three main guys. Possibly a Dwight, if I can swing it, but a Hartigan would be nice. Even a Marv. The movie had a very strange sense of chivalry that was sort of attractive in its own way.

[sexion8.livejournal.com]

I so totally forgot that Elijah Wood was in this so when he appeared on-screen as a psychopathic freakball, I brayed laughter before I could stop myself.

He looked like a crazed Harry Potter in a Charlie Brown sweater. I even exclaimed out loud in a lousy English cockney accent, "'arry Potter!" I was subsequently hushed by my husband...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I know, man. I spent most of his scenes giggling. Sometimes in horror, but still.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

I think I want to see it, but I have to ask.. is it scary? Like horror-movie scary? Or is it just extremely gory?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Just really gory. It's not "scary," although there were things that made me jump. I can't remember what, though.

[iamthemoon.livejournal.com]

OMG! It's been raining and storm down here like MAD! Flooding all up in Escambia and Walton counties...I'm glad I live on a hilltop. ^ ^

[maverickgirl.livejournal.com]

So. Fucking. GOOD. I'm going back tomorrow. I <3 Bruce Willis - a phrase I never thought would leave my person.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I <3 Bruce Willis - a phrase I never thought would leave my person.

I know, dude.

[malenky-devil.livejournal.com]

OMG I saw it today and it was sooo good! I never understood the Clive Owen=sexy thing until I saw this movie and it hit me like a ton of bricks. CLIVE! CLIVE! CLIVE!

Oh, my Benicio, there is still love for you too.

My room mate fell asleep during it, but I was leaning forward in my seat watching it. I never thought I'd like Bruce Willis so much. She at least stayed awake for the Elijah Wood bits, and even though he was creepy as fuck, boy can still do no wrong.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'M SAYING, MAN. I so want a Dwight of my own. I literally just curled up in my seat and went "Eeeeeeeeee!" (silently) when he first walked up behind Brittany Murphy in her apartment. "Oh shit! Oh shit! Shit's gonna go down now! Eeeeeeeee!"

I never thought I'd like Bruce Willis so much.

DUDE, for real. Although I laughed a little too loud when he said, "I'm old enough to be your grandfather!" That had to hurt.

She at least stayed awake for the Elijah Wood bits, and even though he was creepy as fuck, boy can still do no wrong.

Goddamn, he was like >><< or something. WTF?

[are-there-stars.livejournal.com]

AHHH! I just got back from seeing it aaand that yellow guy scared. the. crap. out of me. Not just an "EW you're ugly!" kinda guy but a "EWWW YOU HID IN A CAR and SMELL" kind of guy.

Also, am I the only one who thought the Nancy vs. Hartigan thing wasn't gross? Because, aww!

[ulicqel-droma.livejournal.com]

I LOVE the graphic novel of That Yellow Bastard. It's a sweet love story, when you get right down to it. Hartigan is just that moral of a guy, that he wouldn't let Nancy get involved physically with a geezer like himself. It's not that he doesn't love her... he does... and he respects her too, and sees her getting into his pants are more degrading to herself than anything else. Old-fashioned staight-laced cop.

That's my $0.02 anyways.

[ulicqel-droma.livejournal.com]

*SO. EXCITED. TO SEE. THIS MOVIE.*

I have all 3 graphic novels it's based on. I've seen all the clips. I'm such a geeky fanboi. I'm gonna love it like whoa.
