Just saw.....
 

300! WOW!
Awesome movie. Great cinematography, amazing action, cool special effects and brutal gore. Yeah, the storyline sucks, but whatever, it's only a movie to show how far the action genre has come. Go watch it now!
SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hopefully I will see it today but I have a feeling my plans will fall through.

my kid saw it today. I'll let you know how many "awesomes" he gives it.

I want to see this as well. I am all geared up for it as the History Channel ran two specials on the 300 Spartans last night.

Μολὼν Λαβέ!

I am really lookin forward to this one!

It's actually pretty historically accurate. Like the phalanx tactic and the expansion and incorporation of the Persian army, like how they used the conquered nations technology and innovation to enhance their culture and military.

But the Spartans were heavily armored, which the movie puts them in only little brown diapers. Only the gods would fight in the buff, ya know.

I figured every red-blooded conservative would have seen that movie 3 times already, given how much it has apparently pissed off the Iranians. ;)

Yeah, Persians actually weren't black mostly. I mean they had black slaves of course, like slaves were of all races but the Persians themselves weren't "black". Weird.

Two thumbs up. Saw it last night.

I saw it and I will have to say that the Spartans are badasses.

I didn't see any propaganda but if you look for it I'm sure you will find it.

The main plots were most likely historically accurate but the events weren't. For example...

Spoilers: Highlight to read
The king of sparta wasn't actually the last person to die. The Immortals didn't look like that. They didn't push the messengers into the well. Others events like that...

Yea 300 was a great movie it is as good as other people say it was, but wasn't as bloody as some people say it was and I thought the Leonidas character showed great intensity during the film.


" This is not madness This is SPARTA!!!":bong:

i thought the Spartans fought in the nude...

:p Naw...that was the Trojans.

Well they were half naked anyways...

No peoples fought in the nude, that is just ridiculous. I mean, c'mon, you would be so freakin' vulnerable, you have no protection to anything! 300 was just to show the off the glorious Spartans but they fought in full bronze and iron for sure.

Yeah, okay, but some peoples did compete nude during the Olympics.

I think those were the Britons. Or the Celts. Or the Picts. One of the folks that had the woad, anyway.

I wouldn't want that cut off by accident.

Olympics and battle are different. One doesn't involve objects that can sever a penis.

Oh yeah? Have you heard of the javelin? ;)

Always about the penis, isn't it?

Ouch, I doubt that is common occurance though. It would have to be a damn good shot too. You almost can't get mad with a shot like that.

Yes. Very important topic.

Personally, I would like my penis not cut off in war. I don't think you would be too happy if your boyfriend's or husband's got cut off either.

Some groups in Celtic warbands fought nude. Men and women, both.

In what instance would you like your penis cut off? ;)

The implication is peace...

We (cultural connection not recent activity) did reportedly sport blue paint though.

*thinks for a second*

Touche.

One of the wonderful things about pagan festivals is that there is ALWAYS some pasty-pale white accountant or computer programmer who paints his face and body up with woad and goes crashing about the woodlands in various stages of undress for several days.

When it's time to return to the regular world a terrible realization dawns.

Woad is a very effective sunscreen.

Wouldn't that be very painful? Imagine having your, well, you know what, chopped off in the middle of a battle. Ouch. :eek:

Fortunately, the Celts evolved to protect against that...:redface:

Hmmmmmmm....so this evolutionary mutation is seen in the peoples who inhabit ancient Gaul? (France, Belgium, northeast Spain).

I assumed Griff was saying the Celts evolved cocks as hard as iron :)

Or they shrunk to give a smaller target. ;)

He was saying the Celts were so manly that swords would bounce off their mighty cocks.

This is my assumption remember :)

That's what I was thinking.

Maybe for YOU. For SOME of us, the target is easier to hit. lol!!!

Ouch.

We have a winner! Tell him what he's earned Bob.

A week in sunny Spain, but stay outa the water it is cold this time of year.

Saw the movie twice- in IMAX. amazing, the movie and the IMAX. What a movie to go see for my inaugural IMAX visit!

Borat. Funny as hell. The deleted scenes are great. :D

I haven't seen the deleted scenes of Borat...I bet it's absolutely hilarious.

Spiderman 3.
Wow. Whoever wrote that script had no idea how to progress the plot.
And this is some of the worst acting in a supposedly blockbuster movie. Tobey McGuire mostly. Can you believe this guy is making money to act? Sheesh. But the fighting scenese are great, probably the best fighting in the 3 movies.

Anyway this movie confused me. Was it a romance, drama, fighting/action? Who knows.

Go see it though. Although it's overhyped.

The more villains a movie has, the worse it is. How many are in this one? Three?

But this movie had numerous villains:
Maybe zombies are like a collective villain (50 zombies = 1 villain)? (How the heck do I make the second sentence appear after the posted picture?)

Pirates 3!!!
Woa, it was like high school, so much drama, so much talk. Good end finale though, but there was so much criss crossing, back stabbing and random pirate rules dictating the movie that I'm going to have to google the FAQ later on tonight. But it was a good movie, I guess.

And on my PC tonite... The Last King of Scotland. Holy crap what an amazing movie. Forest Whitaker is sensational. To be the Scotsman Garrigan's position would have to be one of the scariest things ever.

Ugh! It Sucked! I loved I and II but three had no script and the story was incomprehensible. I nearly walked out of it.
