OR the gayest movie since frisky summer (j/k).
Went to see Frank Miller's 300 last night and boy what a silly movie. I had the giggles for part of it as the movie was so over the top, which is exactly what I had hoped for. It was very artistically pleasing and flowed quite well. Having never read the comic, I was not completely sure what to expect (apart from the trailers that have been playing non-stop) comic wise from the film. I am a fan of Ancient History so I knew the actual battle and events that lead to the battle so I wasn't completely out of my own depth, plus I have seen the 1962 film "The 300 Spartans". But as Shan was saying, "They could only make 2 types of film, the highly accurate film, or way over the top artistic film, non of this Troy wishy-washy bullshit" and I couldn't agree more.
I won't talk further about the film as (a) If you don't know anything about the Battle of Thermopylae go read about it, its a very well known, (b) I hate to spoil movies for people, especially when they haven't been released in countries that people might be reading this from.
[spoiler/opinion alert]
When you get to the end of the film, don't you reckon that Xerxes had a total Zod complex?

The eye-candy in the film is great. Who would have thunk that good ole Marrickville boy David Wenham had such a six-pack?
I had no idea what to expect when I saw Sin City either. What I did do was giggle continuously at the ridiculously over the top violence and cheesy lines delivered straight. I expect no more from this film. When your expectations are rock-bottom you can only be pleasantly surprised.
Al (I think) mentioned that they'd made up a special excercise regime just for the actors in 300, expect to see it on supermarket shelves soon!

Actually you can find the exercises for 300 here if you want to try them.
As for reading 300, I have a copy at home if you wanna borrow it.
