300

Oh, I plan to.

it was pretty badass

Frank Miller.....need I say more?

Im going to see it today! Ive been waiting forever!!!!!

I just got back from seeing it. Some of it was inaccurate, but of course, that's not the point of the movie...it was still kickass.

Man I want to see that. Anyone seen The Number 23?

yeah it was innacurate but the movie was based off the comic as opposed to historical fighting.

like the immortals being good fighters lol. theyre supposed to be just ALOT of soldiers, so no matter how many you kill more keep coming. thus the name, immortals.

still

kickass movie

I just saw a documentary about the battle of thermopylae yesterday. I think I can wait a while CGI-cartoon version.

are you putting down cgi?

its brilliant, i think it takes a much better actor to play a role in front of a giant blue screen than an actual backround. on top of that it looks absolutely beautiful.

cgi is the shit

looks awesome, I want to see it soon.

Maybe I should take my lady friend to see it:p

Not tearing down CGI. When it's done well, it's brilliant. When it's used to enhance what would already be a great movie (like the LOTR movies) then I'm all for it. But, when it's the only draw, and the movie looks like it was written in crayon, I'm not a fan (no matter how pretty it makes things). No, I'm not using the crayon reference to cut graphic novels or Frank Miller down either. I loved Sin City. The difference here is that they are using massive amounts of CGI to tell the comic book version of what Frank Miller remembers of a movie made in 1962 that was based on a historical event. It's ok in Sin City for example for Mickey Rourke fall 5 stories (breaking concrete with his noggin on the way down) and shake it off... He was a cartoon character. But to show warriors who really existed defying gravity and spewing comic book lines is just depressing.

One review of the movie I heard puts it pretty well. 300 is for armchair warriors who want to leave the theater with a lust for Persian blood and feeling even less connected to reality than when they went in

see the movie then judge it, the movie WAS based off the comic which was based off a historical event. were talking about greek stories, the entire event was told from someones perspective. what really happened is up for grabs.

the guys in this arent defying gravity, the story is stressed for effect though. anyone ever seen big fish? its not that it didnt happen, its just exxagerated to make it more interesting.

i thought the movie was great, if it was based off of historical fighting styles youd have 2 hours of guys pushing eachother over. naah meaaaan?

I just back from seeing it and thought it was awesome!

kickass movie

uh... IIRC it's a combination of both. The Immortal where the royal guard, so it was like having 6.000 elite corps. They came by shizzloads and fought good.

I have no idea what you are talking about thought, a movie?

I'm sure I will. Eventually it will be on TV and I'll see it. I won't pay movie prices for something I'm pretty sure I won't really dig. I saw the trailer in a theater and both my wife and I rolled our eyes... Just not my cup o' joe.

I have no idea what you are talking about thought, a movie?

i saw a documentary about alexander the great, and some huge battle he had with the persians and how his biggest concern was the immortals who fought with short spears and wicker shields.

it was on the history channel, they could be different but it wouldnt really make sense to me that persians would have 2 sets of immortals.

i could be wrong

I'll see it when it comes out on DVD, just like I do with every other movie for the last 5 years...

Don't get me wrong, I've been a Frank Miller fan ever since my comic-artist brother indoctrinated me many many years ago.

I just don't like seeing movies in theatres anymore...

alright i just looked up persian immortals on wikipedia. they were considered the elite guard, but only because there were so many of them. 10,000 at a time. leather and wicker shields and short spears.

the movie portrayed them as ninja like soldiers who had 2 katanas. granted, it was cooler to see that, but the immortals were grunts.

I was about to mention the Japanese influence among the Immortals in the movie and how it differed.

What was up with the disfiguration of the immortals?

just mythical effect i think. cant you imagine some greek dude sitting around saying thousands of immortal men, beasts not of this world!

it just makes it cooler i think

I see. It does build up some more suspense in the fights between the immortals and spartans. I can't wait til it comes out on dvd.

Ok i went with a huge group of people on Saturday night, and we all had the same consensus. The Sex Scene in the begining was just uneseecary. Not in a we're goody two-shoes kinda way, Like in a totally hilarious when they switch to doggy style, and reverse cowgirl kinda way. what is usually like a 15 second tops clip lasted like 2 mintues and because of it was totally outrageously funny.

anyone else feel the same?

we honestly couldnt stop laughing, it didnt help that people left the theater when she was on top too.. lol

i was sitting with my step dad....so....the nudity was one of those things where you have to pretend like you didnt notice.

whatever, if i was about to go fight a million persians id probably wanna bust one last nut too

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Awesome.

I must see this movie. Maybe this week.

rock.

DDD

Yeah, that part when it went doggystyle made me and my friend laugh pretty hard, the people in front of us looked back and glared.

I agree with james ambrose. The king of Sparta knew he wasn't gonna win the battle, might as well do the horizontal monster mash one last time.

Good to know the Romans weren't all Greek Style. Of course the King of Sparta knew it was coming, he had to have read the script.

went and saw it last night... I was pretty impressed... it looked good, good story, lots of action, but damn, there was a little too much slo mo. Yep, I said it. Every little thing that happened was in slo mo.

Battle scene- slo mo
sex scene- slo mo
decapitation- slo mo
spear dropping- slo mo
spear hitting face- slo mo
dude pooing- slo mo

ok I made that last one up, but it was good. I did enjoy it though. We decided that when it comes out on DVD we are going to make a drinking game out of it:

when someone says Sparta or Spartan take a drink

when something goes in slo mo take a drink.

WE BE WASTED!!!!

rock.

DDD

Pooing in slow mo, ha ha.

You should drink everytime you see a guy with ripped abs.

That movie was the manliest thing I've ever seen.

Just made me wanna eat a big steak. With my bare hands.

i havent seen it yet, but i will, probably this week.

oh, and that drinking game reminds me of one my friends came up with, watch the big lebowski and you have to drink a white russian every time the dude drinks a white russian. it ends up being something like 8 times in just under 2 hours. we had to keep pausing it to catch up :D

Holycrapholycrapholycrapholycrap.....

I Just saw the movie man, I didnt think Id like it, but I LOVED IT!

I couldn restrain myself from clapping like an annoying reatrd in the end. EPIC!

Frank Miller is a Genious, and that director really complimented his work.

I LOVED The Oracle Scene. Those disfigured corrup priests have Frank Miller written all over them, and that stoned half naked teen dancing... Hmmm... The effect of the smoke+clothes was pretty cool.

Also, what he did with Ephilates was genious... that deformation, so exagerated, also miller signature.

The way he made sure to make Xerxes Bleed... woah.

And the way Leonidas died... a great metaphor.

That movie was a cinematic poem. Everyone, go see it, NOW!

woooooh

doc you rock lol

the movie really was badass, iv seen it 3 times....i cant see it enough

I dug it as well, so did my girl. Like Daneatsfood said, it was the manliest movie EVER (after robocop of course..)

LOL

I Just saw it for the second time today, went to the movies with my dad.

I love this movie.

Edit: Allright, Im coming clean, I'v payed 2 movie tickets just to see a stoned half naked pery teen dance. :D Dont blame me! blame society!.. Or Hormones, whatever.

No, seriously, this movie had the official (not) Doc's Seal of Aprooval, and trust me, few movies get it.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn Straight. :cool:
