Damn straight.
PLEASE DON'T SUCK by Toxic Frog	Mar 7th, 2005 06:34:07 PM
...and please don't wuss out on the violence and nudity. I was disheartened to see Gail with her bra on. (Remember the 10 minute glimpse from a few months back she was topless).
I prefer the first trailer too by Gheorghe Zamfir	Mar 7th, 2005 06:35:31 PM
This is the trailer for everyone put off by black and white, try to appease them by shoving every name involved onto the screen, which, as a sales method, probably not a bad idea.
Junior/Yellow Bastard by Virtual Satyr	Mar 7th, 2005 06:40:15 PM
Nick Stahl is one hell of underappreciated actor...he is perfect for that role in Sin City.
Did someone say RUTGER HAUER? by vekt0r	Mar 7th, 2005 06:40:30 PM
I thought so.
How is it that a movie that stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Beni by Charles Grady	Mar 7th, 2005 06:42:15 PM
I, for one, CANNOT wait for this, just based on that CAST alone. Seriously, how many movies can boast a cast like that? Yet, I'm afraid that this will tank horribly, likely because the visual style and subject matter are so alien to most "generic" moviegoers. After all, the fucking PACIFIER just had a 30 million dollar weekend. Sad to say, despite pretty much THE BEST CAST EVER, mainstream America will go to see RING 2 or GUESS WHO? for the 2nd time before they go to see anything like this. And that's sad.
Please be good! by Towers	Mar 7th, 2005 06:45:41 PM
I really hope this doesn't suck.. And I really hope it does well box office wise.
Special guest director? WTF?????? by Voice O. Reason	Mar 7th, 2005 06:52:53 PM
How's THAT work, exactly? And how much actual directing did Frank Miller really get to do?

Director Credits by Gheorghe Zamfir	Mar 7th, 2005 06:57:31 PM
I'm not entirely sure about Miller, I think he gets a co-director nod because Rodriguez used the comics basically as story boards, I don't know if he was on set to do any actual directing though (like I say though, I'm not sure). And Tarantino came on a directed a segment of the movie, so that's what's up with that.
Oh wow you can't save it to your HDD. Why would anyone wanna do by Orionsangels	Mar 7th, 2005 07:01:35 PM
Actually everyone wants to save trailers. It's all we wanna do, but some studio morons just don't get that
Thanks Alexandra DuPont! by Orionsangels	Mar 7th, 2005 07:02:36 PM
You're the sweetest, you know it
Bruce's scar by kahootz	Mar 7th, 2005 07:07:47 PM
Is it just me, or does it switch sides in the middle of the trailer? sorry to nitpick
as long as they play the music the entire time it'll be great by Fantomex	Mar 7th, 2005 07:09:24 PM
this is a great music video, but everytime the music stops for someone to deliver their lines I just cringe. I HOPE this isn't a great movie with awful acting like sw ep2, but we'll see.
Can't save to HDD? WTF? by empyreal0	Mar 7th, 2005 07:11:53 PM
Jesus, make yourself a little HTML script with this link http://progressive.stream.aol. com/aol/us/moviefone/movies/20 05/sincity_019736/sincity_trlr _02_dl.mov open it in a browser window, right-click, save-as. How hard is that?
I can almost forgive Rodriguez... by koosbane	Mar 7th, 2005 07:13:32 PM
for making Spy Kids 1-3 now. Judgement is reserved until I see the final product.
How the hell did Josh Hartnett find his way into this movie? by NiceMarmot	Mar 7th, 2005 07:30:40 PM
A whole lotta good actors and character actors in this and there's mannequin boy, sticking out like a big red thumb in a b/w film about toes. This guy makes Affleck look like James Cagney for chrissakes! Does he have some serious dirt on Rodriguez or something?
Digital bra on girl gettin' the gun from the dresser by George Newman	Mar 7th, 2005 07:36:01 PM
the trailer started out slow, but got great
well that just kicks unholy ass by K\|LLDOZER	Mar 7th, 2005 07:46:03 PM
my trust is now in the hands of the very capable Frank Miller. Please be the coolest comic book movie ever made - tall order after Conan The Barbarian, Spiderman 2, and Superman - but hey...
That is badass. I can hardly wait. by Big Bad Clone	Mar 7th, 2005 07:49:13 PM
Stupid fucking people will say it sucks when they realze it's black and white. "What's wrong with the colors, yo?"
Not enough Jessica by columnboy260	Mar 7th, 2005 07:51:59 PM
The trailer needs more Jessica Alba, definitely. I got a wallpaper shot of her from the official site and it's stunning.
Yeah, I hope Lucille had a bra on JUST for the trailer. by IAmJacksUserID	Mar 7th, 2005 07:56:33 PM
As someone else pointed out, in the 10 minute Comic Con footage, her boobies were quite visible. This is my tops most anticipated movie this year!
Scar by WorstPoochieEver	Mar 7th, 2005 08:00:54 PM
Yeah, Bruce's scar is on the right side of his forehead (his right) for all but the close-up in the car with the switchblade, where it jumps to the left. Hmmmm. Also, why is Devon Aoki in a bunch of shots but not mentioned on the cast list screen? Also, Clive Owen was the tops in Closer.
I wanna see this movie so bad by Juggernaut125	Mar 7th, 2005 08:03:03 PM
that I wish it was on DVD right now, so that I can watch it over and over and over and over and over.
ah, sweet downloading... by mikkimouse	Mar 7th, 2005 08:23:11 PM
the trailer is now on my desktop and my life is complete. april 1 cannot come soon enough.
Sweeeeeet by AWDH	Mar 7th, 2005 08:43:42 PM
Sweeeeeet
SA-WEEEEET! by screenplaywriter	Mar 7th, 2005 08:50:13 PM
Damn, what a bad-ass, ballsy, action-packed trailer. That and the "STAR WARS: EPISODE III-REVENGE OF THE SITH" trailer make all the movies this summer look like sheep to the slaughter. Damn, that's gonna be one tight-ass movie! And I mean it with the pun intended seeing as there's so many fine vixens in this movie: Jamie King, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy, and Jessica Alba.
Why Josh Hartenett is in it: by playahatersball	Mar 7th, 2005 09:19:05 PM
Prolly the same reason Elijah Wood is; they were both in Robert Rodrigez' seminal work THE FACULTY. Also Spy Kids one and two are some of the best action movies for children since Goonies
this trailer was very well done, and one of the coolest movie tr by SirBiatchReturns	Mar 7th, 2005 09:23:19 PM
i will be seeing this in theater most definitely. Everything about it just says "fresh"!
Hartnett is in it by critical_theory	Mar 7th, 2005 09:50:32 PM
Becuase Rodriguez shot a promo to show to Frank Miller with Hartnett in it. He shot the promo to convince Miller to give him the film rights to Sin City. Miller has always been understandably leery of giving up film rights to any of his works... gee I wonder why?
"I don't know if [Miller] was on set to do any actual directing by boomstick81	Mar 7th, 2005 10:18:27 PM
Miller was constantly on set. Miller and Rodriquez truly co-directed the movie.
This is the ONLY comic movie I'm gaga about right now... by Anlashok	Mar 7th, 2005 11:06:54 PM
I've got my fucking fingers and toes crossed!
Even if it sucks, I give kudos to the makers of this film for tr by Hung-Wei Lo	Mar 7th, 2005 11:11:58 PM
I'm not saying original, because that's relative. It is, however, not like most movies. And for that, I anticipate its release more than any other. Already less than a month?! Sweeeeet.
I noticed the bra as well... by Anlashok	Mar 7th, 2005 11:15:25 PM
Tell me Carla is still brandishing those tatas in this film, it's bad enough fucking Jessica "I'm playing a stripper who doesn't strip" alba is to fucking good to show hers.
half of me loves it and the other by speed	Mar 7th, 2005 11:19:54 PM
half wishes it had been a pure black and white hard boiled film noir shot on 35mm. it:s extremely stylised and that:s both a good and bad thing. but damn does it look like the comics. and i love sin city. so i think (and hope) i:ll be a happy camper. this, batman, HHGTG and a star wars prequel that looks like it:s actually a star wars movie all within the space of f few months! could be an awesome summer!
Perfect. by Aust1n	Mar 7th, 2005 11:48:14 PM
Every note.
With every progressive trailer/footage, I get more and more conv by Reverendz	Mar 7th, 2005 11:54:09 PM
I was psyched until I saw the footage from the 10 minute preview, and everything since has just confirmed the crushing feeling that this thing is going to suck eggs. The posters, the trailers, yes yes they're stylized and yes they look like the comic, but so what? The stageyness, the bad delivery of every line I've seen in trailer or promo. I just can't quell that sinking feeling that this thing will be pretty eye candy, but no substance, no pacing and no balls.
Now That I've Wiped The Pee Pee Off My Chair... by utz_world	Mar 8th, 2005 12:07:48 AM
...where do I purchase my ticket?!?!
have faith... by MrMajestyk	Mar 8th, 2005 12:55:04 AM
you fuckers. Everyone who badmouths this movie is going to see it. I also preferred the previous trailer, but the little caption "FROM DIRECTOR FRANK MILLER" gives me chills. I've read and/or seen every single thing Miller has ever done, and with the exception of DK2 & Spawn/Batman,and a cover for Prophet here and there, he's the goods. He's also obviously looking to make up for Robocop 2 & 3. I doubt Tarantino's part will be all that discernible from the rest, but it's worth the dough just for that. I'm not interested in Friday the 13th,Vega Brothers,(In)Glorious Bastards,his Chinese Gung Fu movie,Kill Bill 3,animated or following Vernita Green's daughter,Mr.Pink:The Golden Years until it's actually playing down the street. Also, what does it matter if the movie bombs? I don't think it will, but who gives a fuck if it does? Since when is that a measure of quality? See Blade Runner, The Last Detail, etc. The weak link to me is Brittany Murphy, who, unlike Alba, actually has important scenes to not just look good but ACT in. Squinty-eyed favorite whipping boy Hartnett doesn't bother me at all, since he has probably the smallest part in the flick(next to Marley Shelton). See you all April 1st.
No love for Alexis? by Lazarus Long	Mar 8th, 2005 12:57:58 AM
Apparently you people haven't seen enough Gilmore Girls to appreciate how hot the thought of Rory going bad girl is. All I hear is "Jessica Alba!" and "Rosario Dawson!" Hell, where are all the resident AICN pervs? Let's hear ya!
Why ain't this premiering at SXSW??! by 2	Mar 8th, 2005 01:42:09 AM
This looks way fun, Robert.
Well it just may matter if the flick bombs or not. by IAmJacksUserID	Mar 8th, 2005 01:58:41 AM
That could determine not only the quality of the DVD but the possibility of realizations of the other stories. I actually heard that the DVD will be a longer uncut versions where the stories will be told in a much more complete manner.
Sin City and Star Wars in the same year. Life officially does no by Lone Fox	Mar 8th, 2005 06:06:04 AM
Fact! Any fucktards that disagree are-- uh.... well, fucking retarded. Probably also a fact.

after the first trailer i was pretty worried... by mansep	Mar 8th, 2005 08:11:29 AM
but i thought this new was cool. i'm back to looking forward to it, eventhough i think it can never be as cool as the comics. and i hope its good and successful enough to spawn a sequel (just the one though)
My hopes at pretty high for this one... by ATARI	Mar 8th, 2005 08:40:07 AM
am I setting myself up for a big fall?

...that after they show the text "There is no justice..." the next shot is Carla with her new "digital" bra! How fitting.

Lucille's bra by Rupee88	Mar 8th, 2005 04:02:49 PM
Did they really pussy out that bad? I hope not. Well, I still support this movie and will be there on the first Friday, even though the lack of nudity (and therefore adherance to the source material) seems to be glaring.

PLANTS!! All of you!! ;-)
I hope by hamo455	Mar 8th, 2005 06:13:34 PM
that people go to see this. Good old LCD audiences may get turned off by the trailer. They need to push the cast, and throw Tarantino's name up in lights, which is a shame considering how good RR is in his own right.
You people are setting yourselves up for a dissapointment! by BigTuna	Mar 8th, 2005 08:35:48 PM
Geeze, the hype for this movie is getting me tired of this film already and it isn't close to coming out yet.
The hype by Rupee88	Mar 8th, 2005 08:46:02 PM
Yeah, it's getting to be a bit much, but I guess that ultimately sells tix which is what they are after at this point now that the movie is completed. As far as a disappointment goes, most all these superhero movies ultimately end up being disappointing, because they are not as powerfully entertaining as the best comics. There are a couple of exceptions, but mostly they suck. I don't really even see Sin City as a genuine film becuase they are reproducing the comics panels so faithfully. I am going to enjoy it for that aspect, but don't expect to be blown away by it, considering I already know the entire story and all the dialogue from the books. I'll be curious to see what Sin City "virgins" think of the film. I won't be able to judge it objectively.
the bra was digitally added for the trailers by Jarek	Mar 8th, 2005 10:22:55 PM
I'm sure the full nude glory will be there in the end.
Deac Speaks... if Alba refused to show her tits, they should hav by Deacon	Mar 8th, 2005 11:38:45 PM
my God it's the 21st century and she's too uptight to show her tits? what ? does the star of "Honey" and "Dark Angel" have integrity? at least Rosario Dawson (incidently, a real woman, curvy and very sexy, much moreso then Alba) can be a grown up and not worry about stupid things like that. it's just skin, the human body, jeez... "Oh No! nakedness! i am offended! i must ban this movie! because nakedness is EVIL!"
Nudity vs. MPAA ratings by Zardoz	Mar 9th, 2005 12:58:59 AM
Maybe it was strictly a marketing decision, not a choice of Alba's to not include nudity. After all, you're gonna kill half of the audience this film is geared to if it's rated R. Personally, as long as the rest of the movie kicks ass, I could care less if I see any tits!
Zardoz Under Suspician by Itchy	Mar 9th, 2005 06:27:36 AM
"I could care less if I see any tits!" ?!? Did you really just type that in a paragrap discussing the desireability of seeing Jessica Alba's rack ? And then postulated it was due to marketing concerns ? Trust me - I don't think anyone would have a problem marketing a movie starring Jessica Alba's tits. If I was making a movie, I would scrap all extras and just film 5 minutes of her spreading cream cheese on her tits, and I would call it "Jessica Alba's Tits" and it would make $750,000,000 at the box office. The chick is just making the fatal mistake of holding on to the goodies until its too late and no one cares (see Meg Ryan)
There's no way in hell this could get a PG13. We've seen proof by minderbinder	Mar 9th, 2005 09:58:23 AM
So what's with the whining about the "digital bra"? What do you expect, they'd be able to put a topless shot in a release trailer?
The Trailers and Nudity by The PimpDragon	Mar 9th, 2005 10:24:25 AM
I'm sure that the only reason there is no nudity is to make sure that the trailer gets a green-bar rating versus a red-bar rating. They want this trailer to be in front of as many movies as possible, so eliminating nudity (albeit just for the trailer, I'm sure) is just a necessity for promotional purposes. Rodriguez wants to recreate those comics so nudity will be there; however, I have heard that it's been toned down some and I, for one, am glad. Who here REEEEAALLY wants to see Marv's unit or That Yellow Bastard's yellow nads? He/she who does is just WRONG!
Why would they add a digital bra for a trailer? by Rupee88	Mar 9th, 2005 12:50:21 PM
That is absurd. They have an entire movie to pull clips from..they aren't going to take an unremarkable 1 second clip and put a digital bra on the chick, so they can include it in the trailer. It seems clear to me that this is the way it will be in the film, and they probably reshot that scene with no nudity. If this film has no nudity, it will be a big disappointment, in principle. A PG-13 Sin City film would be a joke and I wouldn't go see it at all. I have to believe it will be rated R. And I hope I'm wrong about the bra, but I doubt it. Nancy not showing her breasts is already a joke and sacrilege...any more watering down of the source material will not be tolerated.
PG-13 Mamaries. by Shigeru	Mar 9th, 2005 01:33:51 PM
Titanic was rated PG-13 and Kate Winslet showed her bare: ass, boobies, and even a little bush. Rate it PG-13 and leave the tits in!! Everybody wins!
If Miller co-directs, it must be good... by SenatorNado	Mar 9th, 2005 01:55:29 PM
... I mean, those comic book guys really know how to make movies. I wonder why Stan Lee didn't direct SpiderMan, it would have totally roXor'd or whatever you nerds call it. I know I know, you all love you comic books, your HALO 2 and your hentai porn, but can we stop trying to literally translate that shit into film? It's your fault that shit like Elektra comes out in the first place. Thank you Harry for hyping up another piece of shit. And yes, I did enjoy the comic... book.
It could be a digital bra, although I think people are just jump by minderbinder	Mar 9th, 2005 06:12:23 PM
Haven't taken that close a look, can you tell it' digital, or are people just assuming based on the previous trailer. (actually, comparing the two, the bra doesn't look fake, and it doesn't even look like it's the same take as the other trailer) But that is done all the time, digital clothes have been added for boradcast versions as well as the trailer for My Father The Hero (thong changed to have more coverage). So there is precedent. That said, it's possible it's just a different take (or different shot) with the bra on. Could be an alternate shot for a broadcast version. Could be a different part of the scene, maybe she takes it off or puts it on. Maybe it was even shot for the trailer, if she has a small part in the movie (a scene or two), maybe she is topless in all her scenes and they just shot something so they have something "clean" of her to show. But it would make no sense to take the topless scene out of the movie. It wouldn't be for rating. It wouldn't be because the actress didn't want it seen, since it was shot and people have already seen it. I can think of no reason, why would they do it? I see no reason to assume it would be that way in the film.
Remember when the early Kill Bill trailers had the blood splatte by Osmosis Jones	Mar 11th, 2005 11:37:26 PM
It's the same MPAA deal here. It's either a "digital bra" or an alternate take.
Josh Hartnett looked... by viola123	Mar 18th, 2005 11:07:37 AM
Like he belonged to me. I thought it was a very well-done trailer too and Hartnett did stand out w/ how handsome he looked, but that's OK. It was a striking contrast and maybe that's what they wanted.
