"Sin City" that is, and while I liked the movie, it doesn't take much familiarity with Frank Miller's rather overblown and repetitive dialogue to know it was based on stories he wrote. It's great in comic book form, silly a lot of the time when spoken out loud by real people. There were times when I could gag with how overblown it was, though I suppose that was the point, or one of them, anyway. That being said, the story with Clive Owen and Benecio Del Toro was my favorite, even though the dialogue/voiceover in that segment were the worst offenders.

Dwight: "My warrior woman. My Valkyrie. You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. there's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will."

Oh-my-God! I can't even type that without choking on a laugh.

Pure crap in any other movie, typical Frank Miller hyperbole. I almost laughed out loud when I heard it. Anyway, despite it's faults and my complaints, I enjoyed it well enough.

I also swallowed the Kool-Aid and got an iPod on Friday. I already have almost 800 songs on it. Now to decide just how much of the John Coltrane box set I want to put on there.
