Sin City

Saw it. Amazing. Matinee so only 10 people in the theater. Chicks, smoking, guns, sex, and some serious fighting. Not to mention all the stars. Amazing flick, out looking for the Graphical Novel. There was a reference to the classification of the genre I had never heard before.

The story of how Robert Rodriguez came to shoot this film, and all the crap that happened during the pitching of the production.

Robert wanted to give Frank Miller (the creator of Sin City) a co-directors credit for the movie. Rodriguez is affiliated with The Directors Guild of America, who is the union for directors, directors of photography, and so on. The Guild said he could not do so, as Frank Miller was not "a member", and that if Rodriguez was to give this credit to a non guild member, they would interrupt the shooting and the distribution of the film.

Rodriguez relinquished his membership to the guild, created Troublemaker Studios, and shot the entire thing himself on digital video, in his studio.

So keep in mind this film is ALL VIDEO, and shot for probably 1/10 of the price that Hollywood would have spent.

A look at things to come. Hear a loud sucking sound from the west coast.....?

And each frame was edited by hand (digitally but by a person).
