Sin City: A Dame to Kill

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Heh, that article gives it two different names. I have been hearing, "A Dame to Kill For."

"A Dame to Kill For" sounds more noir, so that probably will be it.

I'm almost 100% that that was the name of the graphic novel.

This poster has the MPAA's panties in a bunch. Image

Deadline reports the MPAA's disapproval (which is not uncommon) was “for nudity — curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown.”

I've been examining this picture (for science). I see the curve of under breast. But I don't see the dark nipple/areola visible through sheer gown.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Her tits are as smooth and nippleless as a Barbie doll.

I think what they are referring to is the area on her right breast where the shadow from her arm meets the outer curve and almost looks like a round photo-shopped removal of a nipple. But they're just looking for an excuse.

Umm. I saw it. And I liked about 45 minutes of it.

Someone watch it and tell me what the point of the JGL scenes are though.

Finally DVR'd this. Omfg, what a hodgepodge of decent stories fucked up by staccato tangential plots. Let's get to the first casting problem:

Dennis Haysbert as Manute. Whoever thought that was a good idea should be fired. I kept waiting for him to say, "You know, with all these things being destroyed and people being killed, I think it's time I told you about All-State." I couldn't buy him as a goon, it was like watching a tall, black Gregory Peck trying to be threatening. I also don't get how this is a sequel but he has both eyes to begin with.

JGL: Yeah, I didn't care for this vignette, either.

Christopher Meloni didn't need to be in the movie, at all, and neither did Bruce Willis. I didn't recognize Lady Gaga whatsoever. On the other hand, the Marv-Ava-Dwight thing is easily the best thread. It took me a scene or two to figure that Clive got recast. Also, since Marv apparently kills people just for fun on his downtime with little encouragement, why the fuck doesn't he go into biz and straight up offer those services?

I suppose the Dwight-Marv-Ava sequence is meant to happen before the first film, so that makes this one both a sequel and prequel.
