I told Frank [Miller], let's do three stories. I know it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but we'll cram three stories together. We'll shoot the full books, but in editing I'll just figure out what stuff we need to cut to make it flow as a feature for the theatrical release so people can sit there and in under two hours see sort of a resemblance what the movie is. But when it goes to DVD, we can do a special edition where the second disc can have the stories separated out in the full cuts so that you can see it the way you would read the books. You just watch "The Yellow Bastard," the full cut, or see "The Big Fat Kill," and that's the way you're supposed to read the books.

The real DVD should come out fairly quick, [and] it's the one that will be obviously the double-disc set with all of the goodies on it. I mean, it has all kinds of stuff on there - I have a 20-minute Film School, a new Cooking School, Sin City Breakfast Tacos, and my favorite feature: when people watch DVDs, they complain 'oh, the only thing about home entertainment is you miss that audience experience.' Well, the best audience is in Austin, especially for a movie that was made there. We showed the premiere with the actors there in a 1500-seat theater, and they would go crazy and Sin City got a big reaction. I recorded the audience in 5.1 so if you're watching the DVD and you want to see it with an Austin audience on premiere night, you just click a button and they're all there going 'aaaah!' so it's really cool.

Speaking of which, my cover for issue 2 for the SERENITY comic is of Zoe. Now I know it's done by Joe Quesada, but am I the only one here who thinks the Zoe cover looks like it was done by Frank Miller? I always thought that the way Zoe was depicted made her look exactly like a Frank Miller character.

I walked out thinking I didn't totally waste my time and money but that I wouldn't have missed anything if I hadn't seen it.

With Jessica Alba tied up with her hands over her head and being whipped. Completely unnecessary. It was there only for the Male View.

We, the audience, were supposed to be titilated by the thought of and threat of her being raped until she screamed.

But, seriously. How is the movie misogynistic? I don't understand this argument (probably because it's stupid).

Yeah, because I'm sure most men get hot at the thought of women being tortured prior to their brutal rape and eventual murder. Come on, give people more credit than that. (And if it was all about exploiting Jessica Alba, I think there would have been more emphasis on the "strip" part of her job title "stripper.")

Almost all of the main (Dwight, and especially Marv and Hartigan) characters' motivations stem from a chivalrous need to protect the women around them. That might be "old-fashioned," but I don't think it degrades women. Besides, most of the time a woman saves their ass anyway. I mean, little Miho sure wasn't sitting around knitting doilies.

The film is full of violent, despicable characters doing violent, despicable things. But just because certain characters treat women badly in a movie doesn't mean the film itself advocates misogyny. Does the film advocate cannibalism because of the character of Kevin? No, of course not.

Not to mention the fact that a great majority of the violence is perpetrated against men. . .but, nevermind that. . .

Whatever. If anyone went into a movie titled Sin City and got offended, they probably deserve what they got. I'm just saying, is all.

Those persons who complain of certain Firefly eps being too violent to watch (and you know who you are) might want to watch something else, like the remake of Where the Red Fern Grows, or something.
