A child can go only so far in life without potty training. It is not mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.

I'll order it from Netflix so my wife can watch it. She was concerned that it would have the gross out factor of Silence of the Lambs II or Sin City. Truthfully I would put the gore on the same level as Braveheart but much more stylized.

Gerard Butler, previously considered a sometimes interesting but uneven actor, is now the most kick ass kick-ass to have ever kicked ass upon the kick-assed.

I just today realized who that is.  Yow.

That was fun.  The side by side comparisons are good for those folks not familiar with Miller's work.  It shows you how detailed they were in trying to bring the original vision to the screen. 

I hope to God that we never see a Dark Knight Returns movie.  It just wouldn't work.

Yeah- I don't think I'd like to see that.  It'd have to be vanilla-d down for the current Batman crowd.

Shitfuckdamnasspie.

I got off work early from the theater tonight, so I figured I'd go see 300.  NOBODY wanted to/could go tonight with me.

WTF people.  Free movie.

*grumblebitchwhine*

Go stag. That way nobody is there to annoy you. I wanted to see it this weekend, but I saw Wild Hogs instead.

I'm thinkin I might hit the matinee on Wednesday.  Maybe stag, unless I can convince someone else to play hooky too.

I poked my head in a few times while I was at work tonight- it looks really cool.  :)

Let me tell you how to enjoy this film and really avoid all the bullshit critiques that have been levelled against it.

The film is narrated and it's an "I caught a fish this big" story.  A campfire story. Effectively a legend.  The people on the side of the storyteller are shown as heroic, dashing, and brave.  The bad guys are shown as mutated, impossible creatures that no man could defeat in battle.  It's how stories are told.

Keep that in mind and you'll have a really good time watching it, I think

I'm excited that it stays fairly close to the graphic novel.  I haven't read it, but I love love love Frank Miller's stuff, so I'm pretty stoked.

OK- spoilers in here...

In response to BD's concern about the gore:  Yes- it was gory, but not in the "OMG MY GUTS ARE FALLING OUT" sort of gory.  For example- when Leonidas lops off the noggin of that orc looking creature- it could have been much nastier.  I was really expecting much more blood and oogy to come shooting out.  In that respect, it wasn't nearly as realistic as one would think.  However- the bloody spear heads were pretty cool.  :)

I very much enjoyed the humor that popped up now and again.  The first exchange between Leonidas and Xerxes made me howl.

I was very glad that Faromir didn't die.  I know that's not his name in this movie, but I never caught what it was supposed to be, so I just called him Faromir the whole time in my head.

I clapped and whooped when the Queen killed the traitor.   Since there were only about 20 people in the theater at the time, it was kind of obvious.  *lol*

I'm irked that I didn't catch more names. 

The only disappointment I have with the movie is the fact that the hunchback quite often looks REALLY fake.  In Xerxes' tent with all the writhing chicks (I missed the armless one- pity) he looks like something straight out of Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame.  I expected him to sing.

Oh- I wanted to bitchslap the guy that split- don't know his name either.

Finally saw it today, it was okay.  Entertaining for two hours but certainly not Earth shattering or cinema changing the way I'd heard.

Yep, I'd read somewhere that it would change cinema the way Star Wars did.  I'm not so sure I'd go down that road even just a few feet.  It was very cool visually but I thought Sin City did more cinematically.

Huh.  Silly me for not noticing that.  I just thought it was a neat movie.
