Neill Cumpston Has Seen 300!!!!!!!!!!!! Could this be The Best Movie Review EVAR?!?
That's pretty much how I felt about it.

I'll buy the DVD on release day.

Deep and thoughtful, as ever.

IT’S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.

I hated 300, it was a piece of fascist crap that doesn't even have the backstory of Triumph of the Will. And, as much as I love action movies, I actually thought it was kind of boring.

That review, however, was fabulous.

Yeah - that covers it perfectly. No plot, heavy metal fighting, mini-bosses and some disappointing Dudity.
What an awesome film.

SPARTA!!!!!

(omiewise: as per usual, I'm completely out of kilter with what good, normal people think. If I were going through some kind of weird self-doubting thing now, I'd totally put that on my list of "Reasons seanyboy doesn't deserve to know anyone")

Hey man, it's just my opinion, and it's ultimately just a movie!

I agree with you omniwise. I thought the movie was terrible, and couldn't understand why so many people liked it. It seemed to have been written by a thirdgrader who likes shiny objects. I'm glad I pirated it and didn't pay a cent to watch it, or I'd have been extremely disappointed. What a waste of film.

I was going to go see 300 but then I didn't. No surprise I haven't seen a movie in the theater since Return of the King. Said I would go see Spiderman 3 and have not... probably will not go see Transformers either. Oh well.

Saw a commercial for Live Free or Die Hard last night. The first one was spectacular.. but Bruce, just stop. Please.

Also. Just downloaded/watched the newest episode of Doctor Who. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that they brought him back. Huh. Everything old is new again.

Sentient boobs fightin' a werewolf.
i'm waiting for netflix to get it next month. but only for the ass picnic.

hey, too bad we can't have a big IRC party where we watch the movie simultaneously and have good laffs.

Do a shot for every homoerotic shot.
(Haven't seen it but assume i'm not making it in that far.

dirty!)

I thought the movie was a parody of a parody of a farce of a parody, but it's funny to run that line at inappropriate times.

For instance when I made the kid some scrambled eggs and they had a lot of cheese in them so they looked a little funny and she said

"This is scrambled eggs?"

"THIS...IS... SPARTA!"

Then I kicked her down a well.

It was one of those comic book movies. How can people expect it to be more than just one of those comic book movies? Maybe if they didn't make it from a comic book.

I liked when the elephants hit the beach. That was cool, like when the plane sank in Cast Away.

i'm a fan of over the top pagentry and anthemic bellowing.
i'd see it.
posted by ethylene 22 June | 13:03
I totally want to see it. Naked guys? With swords? And mutant dwarves? I'm there. Does it have a good explosion quotient?

300 was awesome. I think people forget that it was based on a comic book.

Hell, anything with Gerard Butler in it is awesome simply due to the fact that Gerard Butler is in it.

I had no interest in it till I saw deborah's link. Especially when I clicked on the pic of him in swim trunks and got a page that said "FORBIDDEN"... way to string me along, you effin' hottie.

(I know, you can see the image if you view the whole page... er, I'll be in my bunk.)
