Lol. In this case, the "mindless killing machines" did a pretty good job of keeping me entertained, and the "fancy camera tricks" made it look cool. Call me sophomoric, but I don't go to the movies for an incredibly intellectual experience.

But The Departed was a really good movie on the other end of the spectrum from 300, and in the end, I'm not sure which one I liked better. Regardless, 300 was a good time. It's just not a good date movie.

I liked the departed, I just hated the ending, it was so defeating.

You went for plot? I went for nice swordfights and the IMAX screen.

I figured it was going to be an action movie, but I wouldn't ever go to see a movie if I knew there wasn't going to be any kind of plot or character development involved. Usually those things are implied. Take Troy for instance, it was also a movie about a war. There was a lot of killing in it. However, there was also a rich amount of character development, and even a little philosophy. I considered Troy to be a very good movie. 300 seemed more like Kill Bill to me.

Heh, apparently we judge the relative merits of movies VERY differently. You like Troy, whereas I... well, lets just say your opinion about 300 pretty closely matches mine about Troy.

Agree to disagree, then?

Ugh. Troy was very nearly in the "I Want My Time Back" category.

Was Troy the one with the annoying eagle that the camera kept flashing to, or was that Alexander? All those old Roman war movies sorta run together in my head, I'm not sure I managed to stay awake through one of them.

300 kicked ass.

I haven't seen "Alexander", so I'm not sure. I don't think that was "Troy" though.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #1933 on:** April 06, 2007, 03:58:32 PM »

Hell. I bet several million other women, and most gay men could watch that movie with the sound off and find nothing wrong with it at all.

Are you implying that Kill Bill was light on character development and/or philosophy? Are you friggin HIGH?

No the comparison to Kill Bill was mainly done to relate the overdone bogus action scenes in both. Although Kill Bill only developed the villan, not the protagonist, not really anyway. And I didn't see any philosophy in there.

It's stylized, like a Monet. I'm actually amazed at how similar the actual event appears to have been to the movie (if you closed your eyes or otherwise excised what appear to be Chernobyl refugees enlisted into the Persian army), as when going in I treated it as pure fiction in the great 'inspired by vaguely plausible events that I may or may not recollect from drive in movies I passed out baked out of my skull while watching' Frank Miller style that I love so much.

Women are such pervs, they go to see movies for half naked men. Guys like never do that. That's why we have porn, so we don't have to waste money on bad movies with hot women.

I just scored [my last name].com!

It was parked for ages. On a fluke, I checked to see if it was available, and it was. I'm excited, now.

I plan on setting up a blog space for everyone in my family in such a manner that they'll be able to use, for example, pete.mylastname.com as their blog's url.

When I was attempting to set up the non-profit, ismissing.org, I was going to use the same type of sub-domain wild-cards so that people could use, for example, sarah.connor.ismissing.org as their media contact information site. But, alas, I learned that setting up a non-profit is a huge PITA.

That's great ! What a cool idea.

I just tried mylastName.allofit and could only find a couple of foriegn extensions available.

I got www.screamingbrain.net and only just got around to starting work coding for it, but found out that my skillz are all insanely out of date so I'm working on acquiring new ones.
