It's gotten stellar reviews--I thought it was good, but not amazing. Then again, I got there 10 minutes late and saw it with my squeamish girlfriend (a couple scenes with gore, and it's mostly a depressing movie).
I enjoyed the 300 last night. Lost of blood and violence. LOL The naked adolescent girl oracle wierded me out, but I am sure the group of men I went to go see it with enjoyed it I didn't think the plot was bad at all despite what critics say. They go off about "blah blah blah historical accuracy". Please, get a grip, it is a movie based on a graphic novel based on a movie that is semi-historical. How historical can you really be when trying to depict something that happenned over 2K years ago? The winners write history however they want to anyways.
Aeson, the blood spurts at time almost looked like thrown rose petals (because of the slow motion). I wonder if that was done on purpose? I think that looked cool.
Spoiler Follows:
The only thing I gotta wonder about the movie is why was the traiterous politician carrying around the enemies' gold....on him? You'd think he would hide it not carry it around? The only thing we can think of is that maybe he brought it to bribe people, but they depicted the Spartans as a proud people, I wonder how many of them would have gone traiterous? Of course, you are talking about politicians. :\ In any nation at any time I can see them being treacherous. (This coming from the girl who would love to get into politics lol).

Maybe I'll tell my wife that to get her to go see it. "Hey honey, don't get sick! It looks just like that wedding we went to last year where we threw the rose petals!"
I get the feeling that I'll have to wait for it to come to DVD before I can get to see it. Hadn't seen a movie since "The Illusionist" last fall.
I really liked the illusionist. Did you have it figured out from the beginning? DSHai did. God, he annoys me. I don't try to figure out movies, I just watch them. LOL I am glad that at least he doesn't open his big mouth and tell me what is going to happen. *insert roll eyes smilie here*
Or the fact the Xerxes is like 8 feet tall. LOL Of course, that isn't necessarily out of the realm of possibilities, but still.
The blood is pretty much all computer generated so it is not intensely gory. The blood spraying in big red spots in slow motion though in almost every battle scene is what made me think of thrown rose petals. Maybe it's the romantic in me.
Wow! A busy Saturday today. Happy people in the hive. Usually Saturday is not so busy....
Galeros - Hoorah for you! Always nice to be on the mend.
Darth - yeah ... cold-eeze is good warding off the cold before it comes. Took me a while to get used to registering in my brain the realization: "Oh ... maybe I am getting another head cold ... I better take a cold-eeze." Seems lots of things in life that seem obvious are like that. First you have to consciously program yourself to do them ... after that they are "common sense".
Friday night at the movies, eh? I don't see that many movies any more. But this 300 sounds interesting. Hmm....
This is one movie that I must say is probably best seen in a theater. We rarely go to the movies unless it is a big action or fantasy movie that we are dying to see (the Star Wars movies, LOTR, etc). They are just better on the big screen.
You know Mycanid, you're starting to catch up to me post count wise While I am in CA and more than likely not on the computer hardly at all, you are gonna go posting wild aren't you.
