If you're going to see Sin City, see it digitally projected. Robert Rodriguez's shimmering silvery black-and-white photography is heaven on the eyes, and digital makes it look that much better. The photography (and a sincere congrats to Rodriguez for getting this aspect right) is all this movie has. Sin City is geek noir, or noir for T-shirt wearing, beer-bellied guys who rarely get laid and didn't graduate from college. Hard guys talking tough and fatalistic and cryptic, constantly shooting or slugging bad guys or getting shot or slugged themselves...sucking cigarette smoke and worhsipping women for their goodness while smacking their lips at their carnal allure....and I am telling you it's all crap. And the odd thing, it doesn't read like crap when you read one of Frank Miller's graphic novels.
