Comic BOOK. Not com-e-dy.

Jodie Foster has slammed 2005 film Sin City for being offensive and claimed she is shocked that people find the subject matter humorous.

At times like this, I just like to remind you that Jodie Foster is perfectly willing to stand up for the inexcusable behavior of homophobe (among other things) Mel Gibson, the last angry man. But a movie, and people's reaction to same, she finds offensive.

Sin City didn't exactly sing to me either, though I'll admit it looked amazing, and the comic book was one of my favorites. But come on.

The Inside Man actress insisted that she does not like viewing films that centre around the abduction and molestation of children, like that in the Robert Rodriguez film.

Or, like that in The Silence of the Lambs, Taxi Driver, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, and Flightplan. Just to name a few.

(Actually, if there was anything I thought Foster would find offensive watching Sin City, it would be when they killed the lesbian. Not that she herself is anything but heterosexual, of course).

Talking about the movie, which starred Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and Jessica Alba, Foster told USA Today: "That was so painfully cartoonish I was offended.

You suppose she hates the Roger Moore Bond movies, too?

Wild guess: Who here thinks Foster's idea of what "cartoonish" means doesn't extend much beyond Josie & The Pussycats? Actually...that's not such a wild guess, because:

"I don't know how you enjoy or laugh about a child abduction and molestation. What part of that sentence is funny?

Um, Jodie? Sin City? Not a comedy. Action/adventure/comic book movie.

"I can't get beyond that. I don't know if everyone understands the impact of that movie's message."

As Samuel Goldwyn once said:

"If you want to send a message, use Western Union."
