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. posted by Ace at 10:14 PM
CommentsYou've never read Sin City?! You disappoint me greatly. Your geek credentials are hereby revoked! Posted by: Mr. Bowen on January 16, 2005 11:02 PM
Yawn...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Posted by: Ron on January 16, 2005 11:07 PM
How bad can it be? It's got Mickey Rourke AND Jessica Alba. Ham and cheesecake, in one delicious meal. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 17, 2005 12:00 AM
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. Posted by: Brass on January 17, 2005 09:35 AM
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?

Jeez. In Return of the King he only lost half a finger. Posted by: Andrea Harris on January 18, 2005 01:09 AM

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. 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.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey vows to Somali criminals that he will not cooperate with ICE, then begins speaking in Somali
Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
