LOL. Is greencapt into that sort of thing?

Anyway, I see what your're saying. Still, I don't think making a 'perfect' adaptation of the novels should have gotten in the way of making a good film. Too much homaging and over-the-top gore completely killed Kill Bill. (No pun inteneded) I think Miller should have made the best movie possible first, and appealed tohis fans second, because quite frankly there are more movie fans than Miller fans in the world.
Pretty much the same movie could have been made without being so explicit about Kevin being a canible, without so many hooker's. It was way to over the top.

Also, it was a bit inconsistent. Do these people have super-powers or not? One minute a guy busts through the winshield of a moving cop-car with his feet, and living through being shot by a submachin gun. And then in the next segment the Mercs expect a single bullet to kill the guy and only the cop's badge saves him?

After the moive, the Graphic novels of Sin City don't really interest me.

The reason I can't get into comic books is all of the restarts and remakes over the years. I have no idea where to start. I've been looking for the latest Teen Titans comic before the cartoon show. I found it, but not in graphic novel form, and there is no way I'm sifting through a bunch of back issues with no idea where it began.

Oh my gosh! The teacher just hit him with the book and your dad took it and said nothing?!!?! Why didn't anyone sue?

I just saw it today.

I thought it was... Er. Strange. Kind of sadistic. Kind of perverted.

Still not as bad as Kill Bill. When I saw the credit "Speical Guest Director Quentin Tarantino" I thought "Oh Crap." Really I think the only thing that made me hate it less than Kill Bill was a few likeable protagonists. Britany Murphy's character, Jessica Alba's, and Bruce Willis's. And most of the action scenes had a purpose.

Certainly not a great movie by anymeans, but decent if you can stomach a lot of gore.
