I'm all over it.

I've been a BIG fan of the comic since it started waaaay back in 'Dark Horse Presents' and have all sorts of cool Sin City stuff around my house (prints, Zippos, a mirror, etc) so you could say I'm a geek for it. I always hate looking forward to movies as they tend to disappoint me- a symptom of getting older I guess, lol- but I will be there tomorrow to see it and from everything I've seen it looks awesome!

I'm a big fan of Robert Rodriguez's work and of almost all the people involved, so at least I feel the heart of the film will be in the right place.... pulsing in someone's bloody hand after having been yanked from their chest...

I just cringe at the thought of Brittany Murphy.

I'll see it if I can convince someone I know to take me to a movie with "Sin" in the title.

Aside from the fact that that would be immoral and illiegal, you missed the point:

My town is spread out so you can't get anywhere without a car.... and since I don't have one, I'd have to find somebody to take me to the theatre. Even if I were to sneak in, I'd need a ride.

Besides, I'm 17 now. I don't have to sneak in.:

I downloaded the whole Sin City collection from a Comic torrent site, I think I might read some of those before I go see the movie, but I'm definitely going!

Yeah it was news to me until lately also. People apparently scan them and then zip them into files called .cbr's. If you have WinRAR you can just change the file extension to .rar, and extract all the pages! Kinda cool. I actually have caught up on a few series this way (I've been out of comics about 8 years now, give or take)

Actually, you could just install this program to read the .cbr files, it works like a dream for reading comics.

I have both an edited version of Super Metroid and A Link to the Past that ran in Nintendo Power during the early 90s.

Just incase anyone might want them.
Actually, I think I found them on myslpeen--but I'm the one who edited the Metroid comic.

Saw Sin City yesterday and think it is the best movie I'v seen since City of God. It will be hard to take other comic book movies seriously after it. I have a question for those who have seen it. Do you think that they were attempting to make Elijah Wood look like Tobey Maguire? Are they trying to make a point about the Spiderman movies?
