You're right, that scene totally kicked ass. Seeing it in theaters was amazing.

The opening scene of Team America is absolute genius.

Swordfish has a great beginning. Travolta talks about Dog Day Afternoon and then a great explosion filmed Matrix style.

Sin City

i loved the movie though and i know that the begging was frank's work, but it would of made sence to open it with the marv thing considering that was the first sin city he wrote.

Technically it opened up with 'The Customer is Always Right' with Josh Harnett.

Then came Hartigan, then Marv, then Dwight, then Hartigan again.

According to your previous post, you stated that the movie opened up with "The Hard Goodbye" featuring Marv.

As for the "Crawling into a corner and die" thing, I think you'd better refrain from randomly bashing like that. You said an incorrect statement, and I corrected it. Case closed.

Ah I see. The sentence structure you used in that post is very vague and confusing. But now that you pointed it out, I see what you mean. But IMO, it would have made more sense to open it up with 'The Customer is Always right', so that the ending would make sense and the film would feel more complete.

I know this. I was talking about the Movie. The first graphic novel was branded 'Sin City', and the story was re-named 'The hard Goodbye'

The Hartnett scenes were perfect bookends to the film, it was a good way to slowly lower the viewer into this strange city, beginning right off the bat with Marv would have been a bit jarring.

Stop insulting people.

Yeah, it was genius how they opened with him, and then closed with him. If you were to actually read some of the novels, you'd realize some of the better ones are the short stories, including my favorite, Blue Eyes

Probably 'Blade', I watched it a couple of days ago and was thinking 'this is one hell of an opening ' watching him demolish vampires in the club scene. The best action sequence in the film I would say.
