lucylou's review of Sin City*
Just one quote - realize this is only two sentences. You should really go read her whole thing, it's hysterical. :)
I'll admit, I was laughing for the first half, up until I thought it would end, enjoying the outrageously bad cliches and male-fantasy gimmicks such as numerous assaults on the male genitalia, an actual heart-shaped, satin-sheeted bed, and the gross misunderstanding of a comic-book caricature, but the second half of the film had me slouched in my seat, having to pee and trapped by the FULL THEATER of people, as the movie went on and on and on for three days, and I started to hallucinate, much in the way of the native Americans undergoing rituals of extreme torture over many days. Around the fourth year in the theater, I started to realize that, having read a trade of the book, I'd obviously been right to toss the thing back at Toby, saying, "This is such garbage. Typical male fantasy bullshit, degrading to both genders. Frank Miller is an asshole with good dramatic shadow effects."
