I was a big fan of Sin City back in the day. Nerdishly, I even took my trade paperbacks with me to see this flick opening day, thinking I would be able to follow along since the film followed the book so closely. I ended up just tucking them under my seat in fear of ridicule, mainly from my ex-girlfriend.
Most people in the theater laughed at the absurdity of Marv’s nigh invulnerability. I was confused as to why at first, because unlike them I knew these stories didn’t take place in reality. In Frank Miller’s world, a man can get shot eleventy times, mowed down with a car, and still be able to dust himself off and castrate you.
And while that’s badass in the comics, on celluloid it didn’t quite translate well. I think most people like to see their film heroes at bit more vulnerable, so I decided to run with that. So here you go, people who went to the 8:00 showing at AMC Theater’s Flatiron Crossing 14 on April 1, 2005. Here’s your vulnerable hero. I hope you’re happy.
paper cuts DO suck
I got one the other day and was amazed how so tiny a thing could be so painfully annoying.
Flatiron Crossing? Does that mean you’re Mile High? Or is “Flatiron Crossing” a more national title, like a free-floating AMC nomenclature? If you’re obviously from the 303 (or 720, I guess, since most of us have cell phones, or 970…I don’t go that far south much, I have no idea), and this was mentioned many times on the site, I apologize. Just ambled in here, started taking some looks around and liked what I saw. Good stuff, and if you’re from around the way, GREAT stuff.
Yep, I’m part of the mile-high club, so to speak. I’ve lived here my whole life and have the snowboard gear to prove it.
Very nice. I’m from Aurora, and live in east Denver (theater-wise, basically within walking distance of the Continental), and I work at the Pepsi Center. Always nice to find another local (oddly enough, I’m so city-bound that, although I’ve been to the mountains many times, I’ve never skied or snowboarded in my life).
Cool. I was gonna say “small world” but this is the freakin’ internet, lol.
It is a small world. My dad went to hoghschool in englewood.
What’re you talking about? I never went to englewood.
