Sin City is pretty okay

Finally got out to watch Sin City last night. I liked it, but it could have been better. It definitely looked like a comic book brought to life, which was what they were going for, and they did it so well I expected to see panels. The narration was a really nice touch too.

As a comic adaptation, it was perfect. As a movie, it was good.

Speaking of perfection, Frank Miller's Sim City is a near perfect adaptation of the source material, parodied through Sim City.

After the movie we played poker, and Steve was out first, as he always is. Even though he was the last person to get eliminated, he was out first. I didn't do nearly as well as Thursday night, and I got eliminated second. I won the first hand, and I think I started a long, slow losing skid right after that.

Mat won, after arbitrarily raising the blinds a few times. The first time he did it I quickly found out who among my friends reads this because they broke out laughing, just like I did. The game did go faster though, only taking 4 hours instead of 5, with 7 players at the start.

Now, Guild Wars is running, so I must go do some pointless questing.
