"SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR" Trailer Hits
Aw yeah!
Let's just get it out of the way: Frank Miller, in 2014, is a walking punchline - a guy who hasn't turned in unironically good work in decades and has aged into a profoundly unpleasant human presence on the pop-culture radar. BUT! The "SIN CITY" books were good, and remain probably the perfect manifestation of his undeniably unique creative voice: all of his hangups, fetishes and fixations, cobbled together at the peak of his actual talent and laquered by enough style to keep the more problematic stuff boiling under the surface in proper check.
"SIN CITY" is Miller's perfect creation, and - in case you've managed to forget - Robert Rodriguez's "SIN CITY" movie was fucking awesome. So yeah, finally getting a look at the sequel? Welcome back, old friend:

"...I think we just found a Transformer!"
There was a moment, back "BAD BOYS II" had already happened and the first "TRANSFORMERS" had not, that I imagined that Michael Bay might be the guy to make a singularly great live-action Transformers movie. The movie I was imagining... looked like this.
Comprehensible action? Flag-draped Americana (LITTLE RED WAGON!!!!)? Ultra-earnest/sincere Mark Whalberg?? Plot seeming to imply The Autobots fighting the military/government and (maybe?) evil man-made Transformers? Optimus Prime being revived in a rural garage? (maybe) Galvatron/Unicron? Dinobots? STATIONARY SHOT-COMPOSITION????
This... might actually work...
