OMG Frank Miller is like SO talented!

*Best Fanboy Impression*
If you only thought his movies were okay, THEN YOU ARE A F**KING RETARD. How dare you say that the almighty Frank Miller only takes already used plots and characters, slows it down, gores it up, films it in shroom-vision, and sells it as canned awesomeness?!

I've been told, repeatedly, that Sin City and 300 are the greatest movies of all time. Why? Slow motion, black and white, blood, and strippers. Apparently, adding any of these elements to a scene causes elitist film students to wet themselves and scream about how brilliant you are. Or at least that's how it works for Mr. Frank Miller.

Maybe I'm too critical. Maybe that's just how Miller sees life. Every day of his life is a non-stop action thrill ride of noir cliches, ridiculously high blood pressure, super human abilities, and short term memory loss. Maybe all I need to understand his greatness is to try to see the world through his eyes....

SIN BATHROOM: 3300

In a dirty bathroom, on a dark and stormy night, one man is sitting on a badly tarnished toilet. Everything is in black and white. The man's face is contorted in unholy rage, squeezing out a massive crap. Close up on his face (profile), contrasted as a pure black outline against gray background. He cries out in pain. He's straining so hard he breaks his teeth (in slow-mo), and bites his tongue in half. Blood sprays all over every wall, the floor, and ceiling for five minutes while a deep, throaty male voice-over reads "Green Eggs and Ham". Enter a blond female dressed in a tight leather maids' outfit, fishnets, and high heels, holding a BIG ASS gun in one hand and a whip in the other. They just STARE INTENSELY at each other for two minutes. Blood drips from man's mouth (blood in color). Close up on woman's gun, then eyes, then her ass with the man on the toilet seen in the back ground through her legs. Woman spouts some cliche nonsense through a thick accent (Asian, southern, English, whatever). In slow mo, both pull out cigarettes and metal lighters and start smoking. Smoke billows dramatically in the air for ten minutes.
Splash in the toilet.
BATHROOM EXPLODES!!! (flames in color)
Police sirens can be heard in the distance while the run-down building burns. Screen fades to black....

Then fades into a completely unrelated scene featuring characters no one knows or cares about--a McDonald's in the slums (neon sign says "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS" and "BIG MAC MONDAY" in color). A female stripper dressed as Ronald McDonald pole dances in the lobby (big red shoes in color) while a man in the back room beats his wife. Another man molests a child in the corner. Everyone is smoking a cigarette (including molested child). Close up of every part of strippers body in this order: hair, eyebrows, lips, armpits, breasts, elbows, back, hips, kneecaps, and ankles. While hanging upside down, the stripper cuts her finger on the floor, causing blood to shoot ten feet into a crowd of customers. Man in crowd jerks off in slow motion while dramatic music plays.
