The violence wasn't a problem. It was part of the attraction. The repetitiveness of the violence and the same stupid gimmicks for 2 hours make it awfully boring. A one trick pony.

There is a Kappa Delta from Texas credited in Sin City as one of the Old Town Girls.

Lauren-Elaine Edleson

Some of her work is profiled here.



She is supposed to be profiled in Maxim in time for The Ringer’s release. She plays Brandi, “the troublemaker”, the lead is Johnny Knoxville.

She has also appeared as “Becky” in three Dierks Bentley videos on CMT.


ETA: I heard a lot of it was filmed in Austin, Texas where director Robert Rodriguez lives.

— During the premiere (in Austin), the crowd reaction was taped for eventual inclusion as an audio track on the “Sin City” DVD. Now when you get the DVD, this is going to be annoying at first, because people were cheering at everything — even studio logos. But as the movie unfolded and everyone got wrapped up in its world, many high-quality gasps, hollers, guffaws and ewwws were delivered.

— In the post-movie Q&A, Rodriguez enthused about digital filmmaker and even said that “guest director” Quentin Tarantino (he was in charge of a ghoulishly funny scene with Owen and Del Toro) was a convert to the high-tech way. All the computer magic helped them shoot quickly. King, who has a fair-sized part, says she was done in a couple of days.

Quentin only directed one scene in the movie - when they go to whore town and benicio gets killed by the asian girl. if you notice the crazy blood spurting out of his hand when it gets cut off - very a la QT

I thought that was his scene. This is the best movie ever but I have a question: what is the story of the first guy they showed, the one that shot that girl at the party on the roof top balcony... is that part of the graphic novels?

I dont really know what the first story with the guy (Josh Hartnett) shooting the girl was... maybe it was to link the first scene and the last scene - where he is in the elevator with the gilmore girl to show that he was a hit-man and basically, she's gonna die even if it wasnt shown.

I saw it tonight, and it was bad. Visually it was cool, but the story was boring. I kept hoping it would get better. After an hour I wanted to leave and sneak into the movie playing next door.

as I posted last night on one of my mIRC channels (yes, I am that much of a geek)

the movie was F*CKING AWESOME!

I loved it, was a little hockie at the beginning (Josh Hartnet scene) but then realized that I was there for the ride and get over myself and it supposed to be film noir-ish

yea I will be going to see it again and I will be buying the dvd....Micky Rourke, Bruce and Clive are just so awesome in this film.

I'm a happy girl

I just want to say thank you to Robert Rodriguez for making my man Bruce get back into a suit and tie and grow back his hair and look hot like God intended (except, of course, for the big ass scar on his forehead). Bruce, this is your look, OK? Stay with it, OK? No more of this head shaving crap. Thank you.

All I can say is if you are a guy and get sqeamish about seeing other guys get kicked, hit, sliced or shot in the jimmy, DON'T see this movie.

Saw it. Loved it. Will buy the DVD.

Thought the plotline was a little random, but didn't really care. Loved the cinematography.

Why are the girls named Becky in movies always hookers or losers? Makes me want to change my name.

Saw it last week & hated it. The only redeeming quality was Clive Owen & even he wasn't enough to hold my interest for a long period of time.
