Marla's Revenge

So Marla decided to engage another sneak attack just as everything was going fine, sending me to the hospital for yet another week. Which just so happened to be the week my cousins came to town. So that kinda sucked, but we still managed to have fun in the hospital. Besides, I think they had a good time here, so that most definitely rocks. Hopefully once things settle down here again, I’ll be able to go visit them, along with all you other peoples up in MN whose visit is waaaaaaaaay overdue…for like a month!

Anyway, before I got sent back to the hospital, I was going to talk some more about Sin City. So here goes. Sin City was incredible. Today I talked to a friend who asked me what I thought of the movie. I said it was amazing. She said I’m the only person she’s talked to who liked it, cause every single person she knows who’s seen it, hated it. I could see why people might not like it. Actually, I can understand if people hated most it. It’s not exactly your conventional movie. All the voice overs tend to turn people off. And if you aren’t aware of the genius of its original form, you really won’t be able to appreciate it as much. But even if you don’t like the incredible stories, the awesome actors, or the spectacular dialogue, you gotta admit the technology behind it is just bar none. I don’t like it when people completely bash a movie and don’t even want to give any aspect of it a chance. I like to look at everything in there. Case in point: I can say that Queen of the Damned was a bad movie. In fact, the words you’re likely to hear me say are “Queen of the Damned was the worst movie I have ever seen”. However, at the same time, I will acknowledge the fact that Stuart Townsend did a better job with certain aspects of Lestat’s character than Tom Cruise. And that the music was amazing. Basically my point is this: if you watch Sin City and then tell me that you hated everything about it, I will call you a liar. And if you swear upon everything on this earth and in the heavens that you really did hate everything about it…well then…you’re just an idiot…and a liar.

By the way, I enjoy comments. I really do. In fact I encourage it…just not anonymous ones. So please leave your name. Or at least a pseudonym I’d know. Thanks.

moonib!
so glad marla has relented and you are back home!!! i want to see Sin City sooooooo bad. unfortunately, i do not think that arman could handle it- and therefore i must wait and wait and wait.... i fear we will be forced to watch it on our teeny tiny television when it comes out on dvd- and that seeing it in such a small format would result in missing much of the experience. oh well. tiny people. love 'em- but can't take 'em to to the movies. (unless you are an ignorant, abusive parent)
