So I went to see Sin City today and ... well, before I mention anything else, I should bring up the fact that the ticket counter girl tried to card me. Which, BWAHAHAHA. That's officially the first time I've ever been carded at a movie theater.

Also, before the movie when they were showing those annoying commercials, one of the new ones was for a local church, asking people to come and visit after the movie. Uh, I hate to break it to you, movie theater, but that was a waste of a minute, especially before that movie. It'd be like me saying I wanted to mourn the loss of the Pope by watching Nick Stahl get castrated twice over by Bruce Willis.

In any event, somewhere between Clive Owen and the ten minutes of Scruffy!Nick Stahl I got in the beginning of the movie, I got my superficial little fangirl squeals in my head. Of course, Nick Stahl was playing a psychopath (hell, they both were), so I really didn't get to savor the fact that longer hair and a five o'clock shadow just ... mmm.

Elijah Wood is fucking creepy. I mean, his eyes have always kind of straddled a fine line between "Ooo, pretty!" and "GYAH! Put down that butcher knife!", but Jesus. That expression on Kevin's face when he was getting eaten by the dog isn't leaving my head anytime soon. But hey, he killed Charlie Brown to get that sweater, so he's got that going for him.

What else? Oh, yeah. Mickey Rourke needs to get more work, Power Boothe is scary always, Carla Gugino has really great breasts, Jessica Alba with the blonde hair is starting to grow on me, and when Rosario Dawson and Clive Owen kiss like that, I spontaneously orgasm. (But don't we all? ;))

In other news, I killed time before the movie editing The Monsters of Moosic and plotting out the X-men movieverse plotbunny that won't leave me alone. I'm debating whether to just start working on it or save it in case I can work my xmmficathon assignment around it. As far as I can tell from a quick glance at the requests, unless I got really, really lucky, I might as well just start writing as soon as I finish the 10.5 summary. To sum up ... boy, do I have a lot of crap to write and/or edit in the next few months. Sheesh. :)

Elijah Wood yaye.

Also, all the men in the theatre did spontaneous squeals (yes, I said squeals) of sympathetic horror as various nuts were not so much cut off as ripped off. In one blinding moment of sudden clarity, I realised that every male in the theatre had their hands delicately cupping the dubious future of society in their warm little hands. Any movie that can subconciously cause a packed theatre full of college males to cup their balls and cock (shriveled state[s] notwithstanding) in a public display of masculine affection ought to be lauded.

That happened in my theater, too! Made me dance happily in my head. hee hee

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Mine three. Including my friend that I was sitting next to.

[pervinca.livejournal.com]

My guy friend actually groaned like he was in pain. It was... odd. And amusing.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

I'm a chick and even I whimpered and squirmed in my seat (More then I was already).

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

I demand some kind of review!

And for Sin City to open in Britain already. Stupid bloody trans-atlantic delays.

[saturnalia.livejournal.com]

Word. I can't believe we have to wait until June.

[wer-bin-ich.livejournal.com]

Carla Gugino is HAWT. And yes Elijah Wood was extra creepy and he did it so well! That movie made me all sorts of happy.

They carded all of my friends and I at the theatre door too, after we already bought 10 tickets, and we had to get refunds because apparently looking 20 isn't convincing enough to get into a 17andup movie. I've never been carded like that either :p. We eventually got in though. Elijah Wood looked too much like Harry Potter meets Charlie Brown, and that expression was disturbing. Not to mention the yellow brains all over the floor and neverending castrations.

[eruditz.livejournal.com]

I got carded too! It was weird, because they're usually very lenient about these things in Quebec. Any twelve-year-old can normally get into a 16+ movie here.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

They showed an ad for a limited-release childrens' cartoon movie before I saw it.

Just...WTF?

[anniesj.livejournal.com]

DUDE! They carded me for Sin City, too! I had to dig for my driver's license, because I haven't been carded for a movie in YEARS. I mean, yeah, I don't look 23, but I look old enough to get into a goddamn R-rated movie!!

Also, when Clive and Rosario kissed, I whimpered. WHIMPERED. Holy SHIT.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I didn't end up having to give them my ID, which was a good thing because I didn't have it with me. I think the fact that my immediate reaction was to laugh and go, "Thank you! But I'm twenty-seven," was the reason they let me go without pushing the issue. Heh.

And those kisses! I can't remember who said that it plays off that rule about prostitutes not kissing because it's too intimate because, oh, my GOD. So much hotter than if the two of them had had sex. I want to be Rosario Dawson when I grow up! (Except maybe with a different outfit. ;))

Because the world needs more orgasms...

I'm starting to think men making sympathetic noises when people get castrated is pretty much gonna happen in every theater. (Even better: women cracking up.)

Dear Robert Rodriguez: if you do a sequel, feel free to make it mostly Family Values and A Dame to Kill For, because those are alllll Dwight. (FV is actually Dwight + Old Town girls vs. The Mafia.) And some Gail, because the two of them kissing was hotter than actual *sex scenes* in other movies. Which takes some doing.

My friend Ro and I went to see it with our boyfriends. We were in hysterics and they were curled up in the aisle groaning. It was great. :D

[telaryn.livejournal.com]

I feel like I've been run over several times by a semi after seeing that movie. Guh!

I literally don't know what to think.

Not to mention, crevette's husband stopped me stone cold at dinner afterwards with the comment "well, the movie had your favorite type of meat in it...pulled pork".

I just...yeah. Literally.

I actually do keep coming back to the fact that I'd never seen someone's genitals ripped off before.

That and I will probably never watch Frodo the same way again. Sam is *damn* lucky he made it back from Mt. Doom in one piece, and I think someone needs to do a head count of the Elf-babes in the Western Lands sometime soon. *shudder8

That second time Bruce Willis castrated him, the entire audience I was sitting in either groaned (the men) or burst out laughing and/or cheering (the women). I had a good audience, for once.

And Kevin just ... between the glasses, and the hopping around, and the terrifying look on his face, I am so going to have nightmares about that. Elijah did a great job, because he certainly scared the pants off of me.

[boozinjoebubala.livejournal.com]

here's where I whip out my geek creds. I've only seen a guy get his "goods" ripped off his body in one other movie... and that would be Street Fighter with Sonny Chiba doing the cock pulling.

[fyrdrakken]

Bagenders has had a whole hell of a lot of fun with the idea that the Ring business left Frodo messed up in the head, but the thought of him going serial killer in Valinor... um, shouldn't amuse me as much as it does.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Bouncy Frodo was terrifying. Nightmares, man, nightmares. I will never look at Charlie Brown the same way again.

Clive. Clive. Clive. I was so mad that he wasn't naked at his first appearance. That kiss made me so, so, so horny. Nnng. I need an icon of Gail now. Dominatrix, yes.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The kisses between the two of them were just GUH. Hot, hot, hot. If anybody wants to get me anything for my birthday in September, I'll be happy with someone sending Rosario and Clive in costume to my house to make out in front of me. Oh, yes.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Just when Clive was talking about how she was his and everything, damn, that got me too. Every time she referred to him as "my man" I got a flash in my mind of the two of them having hot, dirty, fighting sex.

When the Yellow Bastard got castrated by ripping, I could just look down the row of the people I came with and saw the guys either cradling their crotches or looking horrified and uncomfortable.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Someone needs to write Dwight/Gail sex. My hormones are demanding it. Hell, I'd write it if I thought I could do it justice.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

If someone gives porn like...hey...

guede_mazaka wrote some Dwight/Gail. No porn, but smokin.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Fuck. I must look like all of my 35 years because I wasn't carded. And I even had a god-damn student ticket.
The theater had a dude posted outside the theater door checking tickets to prevent the kids from buying tickets to the Heffalump Movie & then going into Sin City. That dude didn't check my ticket either. Bastard. I guess I am officially old!

And yes, my husband did the whimper & cradle parts thing too! *gring*

[wiesbaden.livejournal.com]

Still trying to sort out if I liked it or not, but I was taken aback by the family of four in the row in front of us who brought their eight-year-old child to the film. I mean, what the hell?

Also, every time a woman wearing naught but a thong whipped out a big-ass gun, I giggled - I mean, really, where had she been keeping it?
