WORST DVD EVER: The (first) Sin City dvd

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

OK so I bought the Sin City dvd on Tuesday (because I HAD TO HAVE IT) and it is, frankly, terrible. No commentary, a ten-minute featurette, NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING.

Obviously, there is a much better Sin City dvd in the works. Does anyone know a release date?

Personally, I feel that a future, better, edition does not justify giving this dvd NOOOOTHIIIIING. Even the first LotR releases had extra features. Raaar.

I recently overheard a co-worker complaining about the acting in Sin City. "It's so unnatural, I mean, Acting 101 anybody?!?"

So I punched her in the eye.

As I said on the previous thread, I walked out of the theater with a sense of dread, and on the verge of weeping for what our culture has become.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 19 August 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

And then I openly wept for the future (not really, but I was crying inside).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 19 August 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

I felt a little like that but moreso after i saw Once upon a Time In Mexico, in which robert rodriguez paid tribute to sergio Leone by completely missing the point of everything he ever did.

― gear (gear), Friday, 19 August 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Haha, good point.

I think Sin City just seems like the ultimate conflation of porn and violence, but made for children. It is f*cked.

― gear (gear), Friday, 19 August 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

I'm trying to figure out how this movie was "made for children".

― The Ghost of I Thought I'd Cornered The Market On Empty Patronization (Dan Perry, Friday, 19 August 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

maybe in the sense that tittays are "made for children"

and the blood in the film looks like tit-milk

― gear (gear), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

I mean, even the "blood" which invariably splatters everywhere at the end of each clunky vignette is gooey white stuff.

I think I'd be more ok with it if there was at least a wink of humor, but it takes itself so seriously.

As for the kid appeal, I guess I should say adolescent boys who are often attracted to things called "comic books".

Walt Disney Presents: Sin City.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

i'll say this is a better comic book movie than road to perdition, but that's saying nothing since that one is the worst film i've seen in recent years.

― gear (gear), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

Maybe the future special edition DVD will include the good version of the film.

Speaking as a fan of the Sin City comic, I was bored by the movie. Speaking as a filmgoer, I was bored by the movie. Speaking as a perv, I was bored by the movie.

Spencer OTM about lack of humor which totally deep-6'ed the film.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

I think I'd be more ok with it if there was at least a wink of humor, but it takes itself so seriously.

Um, what exactly do you mean by this?

As for the kid appeal, I guess I should say adolescent boys who are often attracted to things called "comic books".

What part of the phrase "empty patronization" was unclear, Spencer? Comic books are pitched at different age levels; things like "Sin City" and "Maus" are not being pitched to the same group as "Spider-Man" and "The Uncanny X-Men", which in turn aren't being pitched to the same group as "Archie". Conflating all of them into one "THEY'RE FOR TEH KIDDIEZ" stance is prejudicial, incorrect and stupid.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

e.g. even when Marv was cracking one-liners that were great in the comic, the film delivered them in such grim and gritty earnestness that they weren't funny.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

The dog eating from Frodo's bloody stump was just beyond the pale and something no one should ever have to see.

Dan, see Leeeeee's agreement for lack of humor confirmation.

As for comics being pitched at different age levels, anytime I've been in a comic store, I mostly see male teenagers.

Thank you for protecting my virgin eyes, Spencer; Lord knows I'm not an adult who can decide what I can and can't handle when it comes to disturbing visuals in my entertainment.

― The Ghost of When Did Spencer Turn Into Tipper Gore? (Dan Perry), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

Dan, I'm just saying I found the quality and presentation of violence to be uniquely perverse in this film.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

And I looked around me after the film and saw lots of teenagers saying how cool it was and it really upset me. I think that's ok as I'm usually pretty open-minded and even relativistic about this kind of stuff.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

i liked the movie! mostly!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

Dan, I'm just saying I found the quality and presentation of violence to be uniquely perverse in this film.

OTM. Except I take the term "uniquely perverse" to be a recommendation rather than a criticism.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

If all you were saying was "I thought the presentation of violence in this movie was too unpleasant and perverse to enjoy," I wouldn't have an issue with what you're saying. It's when you go into "And it never should have been created and I'm going to imply that everyone who enjoyed it is defective OH THINK OF THE CHILDREN" hysteria that I take issue, and this is coming from someone who feels the entire Grand Theft Auto series is a prime example of the worst American entertainment has to offer; the prime difference is that I'm not running my mouth off about how it would be best for everyone if the GTA games were banned or had never been created.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

Also: unless this flick was rated lower than PG-13, then there's no reason to think of the kiddies (unless they were accompanied by an adult or legal guardian).

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

Dan, I NEVER EVER said anywhere that it should not have been created or should be banned. My frodo stump comment was intended to be along the lines of "delete internet plz" or "my eyes" etc. Phrases I learned from watching you Dan!

That's funny, I'm usually the youngest person in the comic store (and I'm there pretty much every week).

I can see Leee and Spencer's points, but I liked the movie anyway.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

Weird, because GTA is produced by a bunch of Scots who seem to revel in parodying American culture. Hang around in Ammu-Nation for a while and listen to their PA run rampant over redneck red-scare 2nd Amendment rhetoric.

Sin City I liked OK, but the undercurrent of urpiness I got looking back on it seems to stem more from some intangible aesthetic problem more than the violence.

― disco violence (disco violence), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

the main problem with this film (moreso than the source material, which i liked a little more) is that robert rodriguez is a total hack

― gear (gear), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

But gear, how do you really feel about rodriguez?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

all i know is every interview i've read with him keeps gushing about new digital filmmaking technology that allows him to make movies super-fast and film "on the run" practically, when if anyone could stand to lay off the coke and take some time with his films to make them not blow, it would be him.

but in all honesty i don't think rr/sin city should be singled out. not to go all morbius, but i don't think american mainstream films are made for anyone other than high schoolers.

― gear (gear), Friday, 19 August 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

Obviously, there is a much better Sin City dvd in the works. Does anyone know a release date?

Haha, yeah, I'm still waiting on Kill Bill.

And thanks for elaborating on your opinion on the movie, Spencer--I was going to ask about it myself before Dan beat me to the punch (the horribly gory, black-and-white punch IN THE TESTICLES)--I find your position very interesting now that you've elaborated on it. While I agree Sin City isn't a good film it's a very entertaining movie (two things I find are very, very different) to me at least, violence and over-the-top melodrama and all. However, I am also lucky enough to never be around teenagers long enough to hear them talk about the film--if I heard them talk about it I'd probably start hating it as much as I hate Donnie Darko. :p

It was boring and way too long and me and my boyrfriend both wanted to walk out on it but dammit we paid good money for that shit and there were some TX rollergirls in it. My brother gave me a bootleg DVD long before this crappy version came out and we use it for a coaster b/c we have no desire to watch this movie again.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 20 August 2005 06:46 (twenty years ago)

OK, a few thoughts...

A) If anyone who saw this movie didn't catch the humor in the dead Benicio chatting away in the car scenes, I am confounded.

B) The violence in the movie is an example of faithful adaptation of the subject material, and thus should be lauded, not damned (go after the comic if you find it distasteful.)

C) Complaining about Rodriguez embracing the cheap and fast aspects of digital filmmaking, given his history as a filmmaker (El Mariachi made via his credit cards, personal loans, and borrowing his friends cars) is shortsighted at best.

Getting back to the original question, the fact that Best Buy bundled the purchase of the film with a Sin City comic (outside of the film's story curve) alone makes it a worthwhile release.

And it's a great fucking movie.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 20 August 2005 07:00 (twenty years ago)

I thought it was actually meant to be funny, surely no film would be that serious and actually be supposed to be taken at 100 percent face value? It was full of clichés and stuff, I laughed alot of the way through, not as you would while watching a comedy admittedly, but there's a grim humour about how over the top the violence in it is, almost irony perhaps.

It actually reminded me most of a PS2 game, it had that gloopy feel of slightly clichéd plot and ridiculous characters all mashed together into a story, and I think it was really good for this. With the "playing" element removed you could still watch it as entertainment, the same sort of weird reality that you see in video games alot, whatever melange of influences from other areas of cilture gave birth to that.

i thought it was just really boring and adolescent (in a bad way), even for an ultraviolent comic book movie. very pretty to look at though, i'll give it that.

― latebloomer's rectal mocha latte (latebloomer), Saturday, 20 August 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

this film was v. violent and creepy but that's what the movie was

it was easy enough to detach it from life because it looked very unreal and, yes, it was full of hard-boiled/pulpy/etc. cliches, in character and dialogue

it was difficult not to laugh at michael madsen telling bruce willis "you've got a bum ticker" and the ton of v. deliberate double-negatives and lots of other things that were said/done

B) The violence in the movie is an example of faithful adaptation of the subject material, and thus should be lauded, not damned (go after the comic if you find it distasteful.)

I don't read funny books, I don't care about them in the least - I did see the film. Faithful or not, then, my problem is with the film. It was Rodriguez's choice to be 'faithful' in his adaptation - if that makes for a terrible movie, then it's his fault.

I'm not sure why a "faithful adaptation" should be lauded in itself. Some things shouldn't be faithfully translated, 'cuz the source material sucks.

It's not shortsighted at all. Rodriguez can brag all he wants about his "fast, cheap and out of control" methodology - but it still (more often than not) creates terrible movies. That's the point. You have to back up your methods with decent films - and Rodriguez doesn't. Whereas, if he had some other people offering input or taking on roles, he might make something decent again.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Saturday, 20 August 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

The source material doesn't suck. If anything, RR sucked the gonzo fun that was apparent from the Marv story and instead gave us the third reversion of Psycho.

"....[w]hile Junior has his way with victim number four. VICTIM NUMBER FOUR!!! Nancy Callahan, AGE ELEVEN!"

If they were being genuinely dead serious with that line then yes, the movie is terrible. Otherwise it is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BRILLIANT.

Although I really think this debate just shows the differences between people who enjoy primarily intelligent, thoughtful films, and those of us who like us some explosions and pulp violence and goofy melodrama with our daily sodium intake.

also, the fake noses and chins and clive owen's accent

I'm going to be the nerd who points out that less extra features on a DVD = better picture quality. There's a limited amount of space available, and every commentary track, featurette, etc takes bandwidth away from the actual movie. You can scoff or roll your eyes, but it's true.

This can be true but it not always true as sometimes they don't even use up all the space even when they have it (and even when they use it all they still often screw up transfers!).

I should note that even thought I don't like the movie overall, I think it looks great (which is usually enough for me, but not in this case).
