Title: THIS IS SPARTA!
Post by: The D on Jul 03, 2007, 12:00:09 PM
So finally saw the movie 300 yesterday, before the missing backpack incident. I thought I had accidently stumbled into "WWE: The Motion Picture". Or the Republican National Convention, what with all the "Freedom isn't free!", "We're free men fighting for our freedom! (never mind the infacide and conscription and torture and slavery)" bullshit going on in that movie.

None of that stuff is bullshit.  It's just the way life was back then...and the way it should be now.   What would you have been doing? Walking around moaning about the human condition while some goat headed persian ran you through with a trident and raped your corpse?

I haven't seen that movie and probably won't be seeing it.  Unless I get to see it for free like "Sin City".

You do know if you were talking about banging a 18 year old back then... it'd be a dude, right?

Those mutant soothsayers we're nailing hot chicks and so would I!

However, If I was talking about banging an 18 yr old back then it would be a 15 yr old.


"She's only 15!"

"15?"

"THIS IS DOUGARTA!"

I never understood how that was supposed to work out if you weren't down for it.

No movie that comes out nowadays is original, but has been done before. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0055719/)

Last night I dreamed I was walking past a field that a farmer had just finished plowing.  The horses had been unharnessed and were running up to the fence, expecting a treat.  I When I turned to look at them, they had all changed into girls in frilly red dresses and were running toward the barn where the farmer was shaking a pail of oats.

Maybe you should try farming, IDE.

Well it's based on a historic event, so I don't know what kind of originality you were expecting.

From Wikipedia, about 300's box office success:

Quote
Studio executives were surprised by the showing, which was twice what they had expected.  They credit the movie's stylized violence, the strong female role of Queen Gorgo which attracted a large number of women to the movie,--

"Strong female"?

That's a joke.  "u 2 can be teh strong womenz eef u let mens fuck j00!!!231flg,"  Boo.  I bet the only reason most of the supposed "large number of women" that saw that movie went was because they were dragged there by their boyfriends who were probably foaming "Spartaaaaaa" at the mouth.  They're probably lying or mistaken on their data concerning women and that movie in the first place.

Or they wanted to see a bunch of big oiled muscular men run around wearing nothing but a cape and a loin cloth.

Completely negated by grossness.

Like always, you completely, utterly, and miserably misinterpret what I've said.
