The same day Hilton was released from jail, Judge Michael Sauer ordered Hilton to reappear back in his court the following morning (June 8) as the sentencing statement had explicitly said she would serve time in jail with "No work furlough. No work release. No electronic monitoring".[64] The judge ... said that he was informed that the sheriff intended to release Hilton but that the judge had not agreed to it, instead reaffirming her original sentence.[65] At the hearing he declined to be briefed by Hilton's attorney in private chambers on the nature of her condition and sent her back to jail to serve out her original 45-day sentence. Upon hearing the sentence, Hilton shouted, "It's not right!" and started screaming requesting to hug her mother, who was present in the courtroom. She was then escorted out.[66][67] Concern about Hilton's condition led to her being moved to the medical wing of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.

Claremont’s X-Men quickly became the series everyone wanted to read and creators wanted to emulate, with its soap operatic drama and distinctly drawn, emotional superhero team members. These issues, originally published from 1975-1980, have been surpassed in some ways by today’s comics — the copious thought balloons and overwritten captions may be considered passé, for example — but nothing can change their status as as a cornerstone of the genre.

Sin City was a critical hit in 2005 as well as a box office success, particularly for a hyperviolent comic book adaptation that did not have name recognition comparable to the X-Men or Spider-Man. Rodriguez is consequently in pre-production for a sequel, Sin City 2, which will be based on the Sin City story A Dame To Kill For and is scheduled for release in 2008. He has stated that he is interested in eventually adapting all of Miller's Sin City comic books.

Although Ratner has had success and generally delivered competent, entertaining results, his style is pretty generic, a far cry from the auteur status many claim Singer has.
