Hmm...I didn't care much for the first Sin City. I was saddened to see that Frodo had taken to cannibalizing people while they were still alive.

Damn that ring.

As a Tarantino fan I totally disagree, the movie was awesome. Just like KillBill it has a certain cheap flavor -but a totally super one-.

I might have liked it better had Tarantino been more involved.

I was about to say "Tarantino was involved? I'll never watch the movie again."

He directed one short scene (the driving to the pits with Dwight and dead Rafferty).  I have to wonder why he was involved at all.

Boru

Because Tarantino. Of course.

It just seems that if Rodriguez was going to involve him at all, he should have made better use of him.  Arguably the weakest spot in the film.

Oh, please. How many times have you had conversations with dead people that went exactly like that.

Let me see...*counting on fingers*...carry the two...*mumble mumble*...that time in 1998...

Nearly one.

Weird. I see old friends every night.

The British/Irish guy, you mean ? his accent is cool BTW

FTR, that is actor Tommy Flanagan and that is his natural speaking voice. Has appeared in Gladiiator, Braveheart, Alien vs Predator, 24, Westworld just to name a few I can think of.

He is a quite accomplished actor despite the "Glasgow smile" he was given by a gang when leaving his job as a DJ in a club in Glasgow. No mean feat in the Hollywood delusion of "beautiful people".
