Saw Sin City a week ago with , , , and . <\/p>\n

It’s a very stylish movie, with some good acting, lots of action, pretty scenery, an interesting, if not intriguing plot, and a dark, totally corrupt setting. I have to admit, my brain was hung up on the rampant sexist themes throughout the movie. Well, that and the near maximally misanthropic view of humanity. The men are all violent. Even the “good” guys. All the people in positions of authority are corrupt. The only non-hooker female in the whole movie is a lesbian, and dies quickly. Even the most competent women are incapable of stopping, or even slowing down, the major good or bad guys who are, of course, male, without a male lead on their side. Two of the three protagonists bite it. (Along with a slew of bad guys). All the chicks are hot (according to my internalized social judgement engine). <\/p>\n

Veris-uh-what-itude? If this thing weren’t so over the top absurd, it might be scary. (I think that was the intent) They play it serious, and it comes out as entertaining, and not entirely in a laugh at sort of way.<\/p>\n

This sort of thing is probably where my rural relatives get their impressions of the metropolitan areas that scare them so much. <\/p>\n

All in all, entertaining to watch … unless you’re sensitive to social realism in fantastic settings. =) And even then, I enjoyed it, even if I wouldn’t really recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
