If you want to be strict about it, then yes, it's a separate genre - noir.

This is trash, not noir. Noir shouldn't be insulted; it's something completely different.

And "Sin City" is based on a comic book source, all events are presented very seriously, and there's no mockery of anything. All those talking heads are just an effect to create a psychedelic atmosphere, as is the use of color to highlight certain characters.

Perhaps the director himself sincerely thought so, but in reality, it looks like "can you top this?" or "what else crazy can we come up with?". You can compare it to today's pop culture PR, for example, Lady Gaga's.

I would never take my children to see such a film, and I would feel awkward watching it with a girl.

You can still watch "Pulp Fiction," but I would be ashamed to even show "Sin City" to myself on DVD.
Out of this whole group of films, only "Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown" are actually enjoyable to watch because of their energy and ease of perception. God forbid you try to listen to their "philosophical" dialogues – they're just trying to sound smart.
