An innocent stripper / Better be good to me

I went to go see Sin City about a week ago. It was really good, not absolutely brilliant, but nice and violent. (That's the way I like 'em.) I liked Marv the best because he was such a freakin' badass. The one character that kind of bugged me was Nancy (the "innocent stripper"). It was like Miller (who did the original comics) tried to make

The movie was netirely about stereotypes, and really I think that was the point. While I've never actually read Sin City, I do know that the comics were an attempt at genre emulation. Film noir to be precise. Now we have a movie emulating comics emulating film noir, a copy of a copy. It's kind of interesting to consider, and I thought that it might be really bad for that very reason. In the end, though, I enjoyed it. It had some rough spots here and there. I liked Marv's story best, too. I also enjoyed Dwight, but thought a lot of the Old Town stuff was a little bit much.

I went in not expecting very much, but was pleasantly surpised by a fun movie. Not high art, but I'd never expect that of a film adaption of a comic. I might even see it again.
