very black

we saw an extremely strange flick today -- Sin City. i guess i could say i loved it. not the gross violence, but the weirdness of the concept. the way it was part animation and part real actors. part black-and-white and part brilliant splashes of color. the way it was dark ... like, film noir is to white as Sin City is to black. hey man, it's just waaaaay darker than black.

i enjoyed mickey rourke the best -- i don't think i've ever seen him in anything that i liked, so this was a great surprise. bruce was great as always and clive owen's american english was another surprise. del toro has a fabulous voice, and jaime king was beautifully excellent.

the first Star Wars was different, Memento was different, Hellboy was different, and Sin City is different. if you aren't into different, don't bother.

i'm feeling -- different
