No offense, but Sin City is not the dehumanizing experience you're describing.

>>> "Sin City" has taken mainstream to a new low by very graphically showing vivisection. Also, its gobs of sado-masochistic torture and beatings personalizes violence in a manner much more disturbing than the gun-inflicted damage of, say, "Natural Born Losers." <<<

Natural Born Killers was far more disturbing and depraved, in my estimation. Sin City is told in a noirish graphic novel style as originally envisioned by Frank Miller, an acknowledged master of comic art form and the panel medium in general.

Yes, it's a surreal, envelope pushing experience, and quite graphic in a otherworldly kind of way, but in my informed opinion Sin City is an artistically achieved masterpiece that works on several levels, where Natural Born Killers is more of an artfully attempted masterbation with few redeeming qualities.

SC's subdued B&W imagery allows the viewer to step into the world from a safe distance while NBK's saturated colors and twisted scenarios only serves to trap the viewer; IMHO, NBK loses it's way immediately after openning credits.

>>> "So... what's next to titillate us?" <<<

Who knows, but I suspect that whatever it is will show up Outside first! :o)
