She's the girl in "Sin City".

Correction. She's a girl in Sin City. There are three interwoven plot lines in the movie and the plots are atemporal, in a manner reminiscent of Pulp Fiction.

Alba told Lettreman she was given the script and told it was her choice how much she showed. I guess she opted not to show it all top or bottom.

Wise girl. It would have detracted from the plot if she had shown T&A. It doesn't make a difference for other characters in the movie. For hers, it would.

It looks like she was playing a stripper, so I wondered if she would reveal all. I can take it or leave it. Read the Dark Knight when my son bought the series, but I can pass on Alba.

Read an interview of Mickey Rourke in (of all things) Rolling Stone yesterday. A weirdo obsessed with proving his toughness. The article claimed he made 1.3 million during his boxing career but blew it.

What's really disturbing is the number of movies based on comic books ("graphic novels", hahaha!) Talk about your dumbed down population.

Oh, get over yourself, maybe people just want to go see a movie and don't care that someone is squaking all kinds of moralistic crap over it. Don't like it? don't go see it.

You however are in the minority on this thread.

Hell, I'm a minority in the so-called conservative side of the Tweedledee/Tweedledum parties!

Most of your fellow travelers have gone over to the other side.

BIG LOL! Quite the opposite my friend. How do you think you became the majority party?

Judge not lest ye be judged.

Liberals have been trotting that quotation out for eons whenever they wanted to cloak some action or activity that they knew in their hearts was perverse. Of course the context in which our Lord uttered those words was one of person to person relations, not Judeo-Christian mores.

Oops, almost forgot, go forth and sin no more. ;o)

I didn't think it was digitally rendered. At least, all the pictures I've seen are not rendered. Anyway. Read the first book in the series. Didn't like it too much. Don't like a lot of what Miller's done. Will probably skip.

I thought so to until my husband read what is in the movie, we won't be going.

Are you and your hubby on the opposite sides of favoring violent movies?

I think that's hilarious. I thought my wife and I were unique.

We actually like the same kinds of movies, even violent ones to a point but mostly sci-fi, fantasy or action flicks with a few chick flicks thrown in. There is a point where it is only about the violence and that does not float either of our boats.

My husband read about all of the anti-Christian garbage in this film and it turned his stomach.

"What's really disturbing is the number of movies based on comic books ("graphic novels", hahaha!) Talk about your dumbed down population."

You really need to go to a comic shop and ask for some recommendations of award winning comics.
You cant condemn an entire medium and embrace another. Films have been poor representations of comics in recent years anyways. They rarely get it right.
You would be surprised at the complexity and mature nature of many of the stories. Many of them have nothing to do with stereotypical capes and superpowers, comics have come a long way in the last 30 years. There are all kinds of stories that comics are the perfect medium for. And you dont need a 100 million dollar hollywood budget.
