Man Enough For More?


Second Edit.
Sin City. Women are in control of Old Town in Sin City. War in Sin City sheds light on the strongest men in town who are defending warrior women, vs. corrupt higher ups who pollute the goddess. Each feminine curve and the muse of goddess power solidify the entire storyline in each book. Dames. A Dame to kill for. Strong beautiful women who take care of their own. And it takes men like Hardigan, Marv, Dwight - confident, self assured, yet still flawed & pill popping, to relate, defend, support and maintain feminine leadership. Hardigan, Marv, Dwight - keeping the goddess sacred. These are men who are not afraid of feminine power. Male characters of valor, not for rescuing a woman but for worshipping her.

There are a million reasons to see this movie and every bloody movie blog has already tapped into them, an overwhelming majority of which are simply saying it's a 5 star (on a 5 star scale) film. Some are even saying that without the advent of Kill Bill, Sin City would not have hit theaters. I think that's just a different way of saying "americans are uptight." While feminine character is fallible in Sin City, she remains the impetus for all that is good and evil. for death and infinity. "Always, Never." Light and Dark. Marv, Hardigan and Dwight would not be the men of all men if not for their lit counterparts. There's more utilization of negative space in Sin City than a los alamos lab.

Can a man living outside societal norms still be an admirable hero, even if societal norms dictate his actions to be wrong or violent? The answer is easy. But for a goddess the subsequent question is always, are you man enough for more? We need each other to grow.

It's been posited that during the Elizabethan era, men were intimidated into creative flourishment, not out of purpose but out of inadvertant reactions to a virgin queen. In other words, a lot of men wanted to fuck her but instead wrote poems and plays. I like to believe that there are men who can still flourish creatively while in the throes of a goddess, as this is the essence of all creations. Sin City fulfils that fantasy. In Sin City here are men enough for more and plenty of them. Without them, sin city is a stagnant cesspool of corruption and loss. Now "it's the old days, the all or nothing days."


I don't expect the general public to understand Sin City, much as the books eluded the mainstream for years prior to the film's release. but for it's creative endeavour alone, it's sex appeal, superb score and depiction of yin & yang, Sin City marks a centurial return of film noir to the big screen. Support film noir. Support making the general public as uncomfortable as possible. It's fun and it shows you who the weak ones are. Eventually, they are easy to spot.

watch the preview here.

(method of making the general public as uncomfortable as possible #327 - tell them you read playboy. I read the May edition of Playboy, it has some the best articles I've read so far this month. It's got the last works of Sir Hunter S Thompson, notable advice from the bunker of his mind, and a section of articles devoted to physics. Not the most intricate examination of the physical universe but good for beginners - dealing with evolution & darwinism vs creationism and the new interesting farce of intelligent design. Highly recommended. I'd link to it but i presume anyone reading this knows where to find it or already has a copy. either way, it gets a good reaction to openly discuss a magazine as benign as playboy, makes it easy to see who the sexually uncomfortable are, don't take those folks to see sin city, they'll just complain about the paint bullets.)
