Not even Josh Hartnett could save this movie for Cassie.

TheSingulatarian

Let us pick a few nice wholesome movies for Cassie for September. She needs a little beak before October.

Clay F

For September, we could have had Lost in Translation and Wonder Woman, but instead will be The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Accountant. We have the dark BvS possible on Sep 1 or 2.

J.D. Montgomery

At the beginning and end, Josh Hartnett is an assassin for hire. The opening scene establishes it; the final scene is that he's been hired to take out the girl who betrayed the Girls of Old Town. Also, you HAVE seen this style before, in 300! Both movies are adaptations of Frank Miller's comics, and both films drew very heavily on his artistic style, so much that both movies just used the comics as story boards, and both are considered as their respective comic made into a live action film.

Clay F

Marv: "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad."

bgb1975 (Brian)

Kudos to you for slogging through this tripe, Cassie! This movie makes Howard the Duck look like an oscar winner!

Richard Maurer

Great Film. A lot better than many of the films that get watched here.

Chris Thom

Full reaction was posted August 19th.

Richard Maurer

Let’s pick the films that we personally like. Which is what everyone is doing anyway.

Joe J

Glad you get a win with this one Richard. Sometimes our wins are few and far between, lol.

Kawaii Leonard

This one is a real gem. Another neo noir I highly recommend is Dark city (1998).

Code Monkey

Sin City was sort of a "universe" that Frank Miller created for DC comics Darkhorse imprint. This movie was an amalgamation of (I think) 3 of those stories. The fact that they all took place in the same universe is really the only thing that joins the 3 stories. Frank Miller pretty much created the "dark knight" Batman that we all know. 300 was also another Frank Miler story.

Just Plain Bob

It’s also very strongly hinted at that the blonde woman that Hartnett killed at the beginning hired him to do so. In his voice over he says he’ll cash her check in the morning, implying she hired him to commit her own murder.

Chris Tucker

Your analysis jibes with my sentiments on the film.

Clarence Newman

Didn't watch the full reaction, so I'm looking forward to this. Don't know much about the film, but I've heard there's a little yellow character in some of the scenes. Having seen how adorable the yellow folk are in The Simpsons, Minions, Tweety Pie and Spongebob, Cassie should be in for a treat. I may get her a little doll of him to help her through the October reactions.

Clarence Newman

He has, and I consider it appalling favouritism. My films have pulled a hammy recently.

Richard Maurer

Symbols - you’re correct, it’s been pretty good here recently, film-wise anyway. Hope it continues through October, at the very least. D&D, however, was more of a happy coincidence rather than a win - while I was glad it showed up, I wasn’t really looking for it.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - you might get more wins if you liked better films. ;-)

Richard Maurer

I think it’s implied that some worse fate awaits her, so she hired a hitman to kill her before that can happen. And considering it’s Sin City we’re talking about, I imagine that ‘worse fate’ could be very bad.

Chris Thom

When she announces Horror of Dracula for October it will be a true sign of the apocalypse.

Chris Thom

Josh Hartnett as a contract serial killer is quite the conundrum.

Richard Maurer

Chris - If she announces HoD it will be a sign that she likes me way more than I actually think she does. In other words, not very likely.

Alex Gorell

An Absolute 🗑️ movie.

Richard Maurer

You’re correct. Like a waste basket it’s a indispensable part of life.

Chris Thom

You got a touch of the Morbids don'tcha?

Clarence Newman

Besides, I've sent her something far worse for the next package opening.

Above Average Dave

Had a feeling Cassie may not favor this one. It's a cousin of PULP FICTION in its DNA, which was not among her faves, only much more visceral.

Clarence Newman

After all the complaints about truncated edits recently (me included), it's important to say that this was a great edit. Perfect length, story flowed very well, no complaints at all. Thank you Matt.

Joe J

Agreed. Eps 3-4 of GoT also had a much better edit length for each episode. Ben is listening to our feedback. Looking at many past reactions, I see the optimal reaction times mostly fell in the 38-43 minute range (actual reaction times). Actual reaction times with Carly tend to be even longer, which is a bonus for sure.

Milton Reduxed

A bunch of 'wholesome' moves during September doesn't sound any more appealing than a bunch of bad horror-adjacent vampire movies during October followed by a bunch of 'tender' movies during November Just try to watch good films I say

Uncle Phoenix

My old Favorite PIB moment was Cassie cheering, “Mexico, Mexico,…” at the end of Shawshank. My New Favorite PIB moment is Cassie mumbling, “That’s what she said.” near the end of “Sin City”.

Happy Hanukkah

"I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this." Mission accomplished! :-) But the good news :-) is that now that you've seen it, you don't need to watch the sequel. (IMO: more of the same, but not nearly as good. (And no, it doesn't continue the characters' stories.))

Happy Hanukkah

Putting it another way, the movie doesn't seek to tell one big multi-threaded story; think of it rather as "Tales of Sin City."

Clarence Newman

You're right, Milt. I need to rephrase my post. We need some really *good* cuddlies. Here's 10 guaranteed to turn Cassie to mush: The Graduate (1967) The Way We Were (1973) 10 (1979) On Golden Pond (1981) Indecent Proposal (1993) A Perfect World (1993) Patch Adams (1998) The Station Agent (2003) - starring Tyrion Lannister Eight Below (2006) The Whale (2022) - Brendan Fraser as Cassie has never seen him

Clarence Newman

Thanks for the Richard Maurer cuddly, Hap, but I'm going to have to send it back for a refund. He defective.

Richard Maurer

When she said that my first thought was “Jackpot!”. And I was right, because I really enjoy Cassie’s out of her comfort zone reactions. Most people seem to enjoy Cassie’s LotR reaction, what they forget was that LotR was outside her comfort zone back then, at least for most of Fellowship anyway.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, if you legitimately send her a plushie or doll of Yellow Bastard, I will join you in your calls for THAT MOVIE you keep going on about. Watching her expression when she opens that would be one of the highlights of the channel.

Clarence Newman

It certainly would. It would also guarantee me a severely worded letter from Ben.

Just Plain Bob

Yes, you are correct, it would be a win-win. And, if you’re curious, my reaction would be a little dance while chanting in a sing-song voice, “You got in trouble. You got in trouble.” I’m nothing if not mature.

James M

I just heard your guess as to what this is about... and I feel for you and what you are about to have to deal with, honestly I do. I think maybe there should be a whole category of "I like this movie and you can watch it, but I sort of think you may not enjoy it."

Julien

Been following Cassie on YT basically since the beginning. Joined Patreon more recently (Maybe for TLOU or something - I don't recall). But yes, indeed the selection of films has been terrible. There are so many great movies out there (and by this I mean in a 100+ years of cinema but even just in the last 30 years). Yet for whatever reason, this membership insists in voting for the most mid and forgettable crap of recent decades. I don't get it. I don't mind obscure movies, I love many of them that are critical darlings, etc. But that's not what usually plays here. Anyway, Sin City is a nice change.

Kiss the Librarian

I'd like to see more comic book adaptations made this way. Especially Frank Miller's Batman.

James M

"Sin City" is an adaptation of a comic by Frank Miller. He was the man behind "The Dark Knight Returns" Batman comic and "300" the graphic novel inspired by the Battle of Thermopylae (though not really close to the historical events in any way). All of those were adapted into movies but this one captures quite accurately the comic work of Miller. IMO: Miller's comics are extremely violent and graphic and lack any sense of redemption. They are horror works where the victims are as vicious as the attackers and no one is saved or even really survives. They border on sadistic voyeurism as a form of entertainment. "Sin City" the movie is basically the same thing.

James M

Indeed it does. I can understand people suggesting great but difficult films like "Chinatown" or "Blue Velvet" but why people persist in pushing this sort of stuff I don't know. There's nothing here except shocking levels of fetishistic violence shown with stylized comic-book visuals.

James M

I feel like Cassie needs to start to scan some movie summaries before agreeing to watch these. Seeing her suffer through yet another gruesome move is not enjoyable. And that's all I can see coming out of Dragon Tattoo.

First Name Ella

Yeah I feel like people sometimes forget her tastes... I could have told her this just isn't her taste at all

James M

I agree. This is all visual style and shocking violence. Not worth the time and definitely not worth dealing with the disturbing imagery.

Richard Maurer

You make me want to recommend Sin City 2

First Name Ella

Just because it isn't your taste doesn't make it tripe. It's not my taste totally either and I think it's fetish stuff for old men, but there is artistic value in the cinematography.

Richard Maurer

Cassie you should watch Sin City 2 now!

Happy Hanukkah

Nah, she should skip straight to Sin City 3! (Directed by Sofia Coppola.)

Richard Maurer

I didn’t really care that much about SC2 before, but now I suddenly feel the need for Cassie to react to it.

Richard Maurer

You know Cassie picked Dragon Tattoo for the poll right? Which means she, and her team, have at the very least some idea what the film is about. Which means they thought she could handle it, or it wouldn’t have been on the poll in the first place.

Clay F

I love the visual style. Carla Gugino is stunningly beautiful. I like how the movie visualizes Alexis Bledel, etc. I love the dialogue and narration. Marv = my favorite character. "I want to reach over and taste Goldie's sweat one more time." "..it's pretty damn weird to eat people." Priest: ...ask yourself if that corpse of a slut is worth dying for. Marv: Worth dying for. [shoots priest] Marv: Worth killing for. [shoots priest again] Marv: Worth going to hell for. [shoots priest again] Marv: Amen. I am glad I voted for this movie in the poll and it won.

Clay F

I clicked on the thumbs up (helpful).

Richard Maurer

I’m really amazed that there are people who think this is a bad movie. It has genuine cool. A lot of movies, especially big budget movies, try and fail at being the old school definition of cool, but this isn’t one of them. One of the coolest big budget movies ever made.

Richard Maurer

Sin City is at 58k views on YouTube in a little over a day. Glad it’s doing well for her.

Joe J

Should be in the 75k range in say 3 days, like Thunderbolts. This is excellent engagement now in 2025.

Kevin O'Donnell

Cassie is right its a bananas film. Lol. But I enjoyed the visual style of it. Not in my top 10 though, but great genuine reaction. Well done for watching it.

Happy Hanukkah

Clay, thanks. Standard trivia: The dialogue in the film is all straight from Frank Miller's graphic novels. No adaptations, no improv. (With the one exception of Michael Madsen.) Frank Miller is an interesting character. Both he and his work have elicited controversy, but there is no denying his talent, and he is anything but the all-too-common paint (write)-by-numbers comic book creator.

Richard Maurer

Frank Miller also wrote 300, The Dark Knight Returns, and basically reinvented Daredevil. Not a hack by anyone’s definition, one of the most influential writers of his time.

Happy Hanukkah

RM: There are some aspects of the movie I found less palatable, and I can understand that some of the content might be enough to turn some people completely off. But I was completely blown away by its style*, and I find it difficult to believe some people would deny that. I'll note that "some people" very much includes the AMPAS (Oscars) crowd who did not even hand the movie a nomination in any of the visual style and direction awards. Thank Heavens for the Cannes Film Festival. And speaking of cool, Mickey Rourke's performance was lightning in a bottle. * Until recently, it was the only movie I saw twice at the movie house. On two different continents. Paying full price.

Clay F

Marv: “You can scream now if you want.”

Happy Hanukkah

RM, funny you should mention The Dark Knight Returns. It's been a while since I've read it, but I didn't particularly like it. This doesn't stop me from acknowledging its worth. (I'm much more partial to "Batman: Year One".)

Happy Hanukkah

A belated thank you for watching the original theatrical version.

Richard Maurer

To put The Dark Knight Returns in it’s proper context, when it came out in the 80’s it basically changed the perception of superhero comics in general and Batman in particular as being something that was more mature oriented and darker then previously thought possible. For me personally (in my early 20’s) as a Marvel comics fan, it was my first introduction to DC comics, while I was obviously aware of DC I had only ever read a couple of issues of them as they had previously seemed cheesy and more childish than Marvel. But the hype around TDKR was so prevalent at the time ( I even saw an article about it in Rolling Stone magazine) that I basically had to give it a try. After that I was so impressed that I started reading some DC titles.

Richard Maurer

Close Joe - 68k in 3 days, still not bad.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - “I sent her something far worse” - did you send her a Human Centipede plushie? (After the idea of a Human Centipede plushie popped into my head I had to check to see if such a thing exits. So far no company is brave enough to make one. There are some custom made ones however. While not a fan of Human Centipede or plushies, if I saw one for sale I might have to buy it.)

Clarence Newman

I care far too much for Cassie to even search for such a thing, never mind send her one. I do have to confess, though, I didn't care for her quite enough not to check ebay for the Poltergeist clown a few months ago. Alas, I couldn't find one.

ArsTropica

See what the one ring did to Frodo... :(
