I actually forgot that I saw that film in the cinema. It made perhaps the smallest impression on me that any film has ever made.

I think Eva Green was in it.

No, you're thinking of 300 2.

(I'm sure she was in both)

It was very handsomely shot and fairly good overall I guess, but it just felt completely superfluous in a year with The Visit in it

I wonder if it had to do with his increasing budgets, he seemed to work well within limits and once those limits were removed, his dumbass excesses were easier to indulge.

Although, I did find that Sin City held up ok for me. There's a lot of dumb stuff in it, but Marv's story is so energetic that I got sucked into it all again. Bruce Willis' story fell flat for me on the 2nd go around though.

I used to like Birth.Movies.Death or Badass Digest because it was a cool catch-all movie site with a lot of different opinions on things. You get one guy praising one movie, another guy hating it, and some interesting think pieces in between. Lately though, if Devin doesn't like a movie, the whole site doesn't like a movie. It's really dull.

Like, anyone on the comments section who disagrees gets poo poo on by everyone, while Devin gets full praise on how good of an article it was.

It probably is the better story, but Mickey Rourke's just on fire as Marv. I also dig Elijah Wood's turn a lot and think the visual style really compliments that particular story.

On that note, Top Secret! is one of the funniest movies ever made and probably the best movie parody. I just love how it manages to spoof WWII movies and Elvis movies at the same time.

I feel weird spoilering this, but I'd give Carnage a lot of credit for one of the best vomiting scenes in movies, right up there with Robert Rodriguez's Misbehavers segment of Four Rooms.

The best vomit scene belongs to Henry Fool.

My favorite are the ones that claim that Trump is going to run to the left of Clinton because he made incredibly vague statements paying lip service to some leftist ideas before trotting out his actual, nearly universally far-right, proposals

And yeah holy poo poo The Midnight Swim is the real deal. First impression is that it sits right below Sicario and right above The Nightmare on my end-of-year rankings, but I get the feeling that might change as I ruminate on it more

Sin City 2 is on par with Attack of the Clones with how boring it is. Visually too.

I think the odd decision to cram Marv into literally every story no matter if he fits there or not was one of the worst things about it. That and the fact that despite being made by the same people and actually having a slightly higher budget it somehow felt like a lazy rushed mockbuster of the original.
