Saw Sin City again tonight, and it was as stunning as it was before. This time, rather than really marvelling at the technical beauty of it, I got to sit and watch the stories unfold, and try to watch them for how they were in the movie, rather than how I remembered them in the stories.

I know this is weird, but Mickey Rourke’s performance as Marv is, to me, Oscar-worthy.

There were some really weak performances, most notably Brittany Murphy, but also to a lesser degree, Jessica Alba – though she does a pretty good job, Nancy Callahan is, in the comics, essentially the perfect woman, and as good a job as she does, there’s no real way to compete with the “real thing.”

All in all, though, both the fidelity, and the quality of the movie is astonishing – just a fantastic film all around.
