That's really not too relevant. The simple fact is Skycaptain was abysmal.

Oh yeah. Who was the girl that was assassinated by that creep with glasses who hangs out in 'The Farm' ? She was hot as well.

the one where she had her hand eaten off? That's gugino.

gugino was also in that tv girl detective show that really only aired for one season or so. can't remember the name of the series.

I think Carla gugino might be coming back to TV. Thank god.

She was the best thing about Sin City period.

They made Carla Gugino wear tight clothing as the cop on Karen Sisco... that was hot too. After seeing her body in SC, I'm surprised she never did more on Sisco... it was a late-night show anyway. She deserves more recognition.. she can act on top of it. What show is she coming back to tv with ?

I still haven't seen it.

The stuff with Josh Harnett was originally a "test" by the director. Frank Miller had been sitting on the rights for Sin City for years beause he didn't want Hollywood screwing up his stories. Rodreguez (sp?) did a almost panel-for-panel recreation of the short story shown at the beginning of the movie. He told Miller if he didn't like it, he at least had a little short he could show his friends. Miller liked it and sold the rights so R could make the movie.

Originally, Becky (the blue eyed hooker) was killed in the Sin City comic when the hookers killed everyone in the alley. The director put the scene at the hospital for symmetry. The Bruce Willis story was broken into two parts and ended very similarily. Marv's story had its' own symmetry. The Big Fat Kill with Dwight.... not really. So you could say the movie ended where it began, in a sense.

is there a sequal in the works?

They are planning on making part 2 and 3...check imbd.

It's too bad both the Willis and Mickey Rourke characters are dead -- Rourke as Marv was great.

Good movie if you like noir and action.

THRESHOLD (Friday, 9:00 PM CBS) stars Carla Gugino ("Sin City"), Charles S. Dutton ("Something the Lord Made"), Brian Van Holt ("House of Wax"), Robert Patrick Benedict ("Felicity") and Brent Spiner ("The Aviator") in a suspenseful drama about a team of experts who are assembled when the U.S. Navy makes a chilling discovery: an extra terrestrial craft has landed in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Gugino) is a government contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios. When her plan called THRESHOLD is activated upon the news of the UFO, she and her hand-picked team of eclectic specialists get to work deciphering the intention of the craft and preparing for the possibility of a crisis situation -- an alien invasion

I would think Dutton was in something more famous than that.

Is the latter one Data?

its absurdly violent, almost to a the point of being funny. I loved it for the violence, not the acting.

I just watched it the other night also, and it is absurdly violent to the point of being funny. I totally lost it when Benicio Del Toro got it. And then again when he was mumbling nonsensical in the car with that gun barrel sticking out of his forehead! :laugh:

If "a mute Frodo in a Charlie Brown shirt" qualifies as a cr@ptastic character, then you lose.

This was just a copy and paste.

Dutton probably was, Spiner was Data.

I guessed it was a copy/paste, but I was questioning the original source. One would think that CBS would sell it better.

 

[Proletariat]

Its pretty much a couple of hours of the most gruesome mindless violence ever.

Go see Batman Begins.
