Cool Trailer (Sin City)

Never read the comic, never heard that they were making a movie about it, but this trailer looks pretty interesting.

H/t to Petite Dove.

You've never read Sin City?! You disappoint me greatly. Your geek credentials are hereby revoked!

Yawn...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

How bad can it be? It's got Mickey Rourke AND Jessica Alba.

Ham and cheesecake, in one delicious meal.

Cheers,

Jessica Alba may in fact be the hottest woman alive.

Good God.

Posted by: Henry on January 17, 2005 02:34 AM

Jessica is also playing Sue Strorm in the up coming Fantastic Four movie.

Ace, my pal, run, don't walk and read Sin City before you run and don't walk to see the movie. Frank Miller certainly has the goods.

Posted by: David on January 17, 2005 11:49 AM

Brass: WHAT?!? Don't get me wrong, Jessica Alba is very, VERY, hot, but Susan Richards she ain't.

Posted by: madne0 on January 17, 2005 11:55 AM

I agree, but she is actually playing Sue Storm, girlfriend to Reed Richards. Also, Ben Grimm is being played by the guy from the Shield.

Posted by: Brass on January 17, 2005 02:38 PM

David,

Let me ask you this:

Will I get full value on the comic?

Posted by: ace on January 17, 2005 02:41 PM

Seems to be another movie done mostly or entirely in front of a blue screen. I hope it's impressive. I'm probably not interested in seeing it, but I hope it does well, if only to boost that kind of filmmaking further.

Posted by: Russell Wardlow on January 17, 2005 04:28 PM

Oh, and Jessica Alba is a ditzy no-talent trollop.

Posted by: Russell Wardlow on January 17, 2005 04:29 PM

Brass: Sue Storm is Susan Richards maiden name.

Posted by: madne0@hotmail.com on January 17, 2005 05:44 PM

Thanks madneo, I was just pointing out that she's not married in this one so we can expect a sequel.

Posted by: Brass on January 17, 2005 05:53 PM

I don't particularly like the female leads in the film. They are all pretty much unremarkable actors. However, i think specifically for a movie that is being adopted from a comic book this might not be such a bad thing. Contact Joshua if you want to see a longer (more impressive) snippet of the movie (highly recomended).

Posted by: Petitedov on January 18, 2005 12:02 AM

The funny thing is that Abla's a blonde in the FF movie, but the guy playing Sue's blond-haired brother Johnny is a brunette. Anyway, the Sin City movie probably won't be very good, but it'll be cool to see Mickey Rourke chopping Elijah Wood's arms and legs off. Oops, did I give it away?

Posted by: Jim Treacher on January 18, 2005 12:43 AM

Jeez. In Return of the King he only lost half a finger.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
