I'm in the same boat as Alvin. Don't get it. Athalt? Is this a homosexual joke? If so, I don't see how assault/assalt shows a lisp. Of course I am a severely burnt out Canadian. I really do not get this joke. SF is associated with alternative lifestyles I am sure, but about this joke..  According to the Advocate, San Fransisco isn't the gayest city in America anymore. Atlanta Georgia's #1 now. Bloomington Indiana's #4, I ain't been up that way in a while. A road trip may be in order. |

(Oh yeah, and talk about derailing threds!! ) Not really. You cant' tell me that Leonidas isn't gay. Speedos? really? Yeah man,screw the sword "if you can even call it that"!This is way more fun. As for leonidas?Well,hollywood didn't do him much justice...I believe the actual spartans were much gayer. Get this...Women are to be respected only as the mothers of our kids!!?Preferably male ones??!!What the semprini!!Who wants to live in a frikkin' barrack full of stinkin' men all his life.Plus he wants to spawn more stinkin' men...Come on boys!The more the merrier!!! Whatever man, I just don't get it!I can accept the whole code of warrior, soul of man anxiety and whatnot... but this is like too much! At least make a genuine male statement and say I don't like hanging around women 'cause aside from sex they ain't fun...so I just pork 'em and go have fun with the guys!!! Crist, these ancient ansestors of mine..... |

Ah, 300. I appreciate how it just full-on embraces how ridiculous and over-the-top it is, which in turn makes it less cheesy than I was expecting. It's completely absurd, but it KNOWS it's absurd, and asks "You got a problem with that?" while brandishing a 9-foot razor spear.
Crazy movie. Bit heavy on the male glamour shots, but hey, that's what the graphic novel's like. And they nearly make up for it with the sexy oracle and the mega-sexy queen. Woof.
There's some super bad-ass oneliners in there, too. Growl-roar-shouted of course. ;D
"Ready your breakfasts and eat hearty. For TONIGHT we DINE in HELL!!"
"This is where we fight! THIS is where THEY DIE!!"
"Give them nothing! But take from them EVERYTHING!"
Good stuff. Great for pre-game pep talks.

I personally consider females to be far, far (to the tenth exponential) superior to males. They are mostly very pleasant to deal with on at least a superficial level. Plus they are so attractive. I wish that I could work around more woman. I am trapped in manworld. I'm so sad.......Their personality in most cases is far more beautiful.... Please do introduce me to the females you've been dealing with. |

You know, I think some of the best lines in the movie were the ones that were actual historical quotes from the time.
All of these were actually spoken by the people involved, though some were said in different circumstances than shown in the film:
Queen Gorgo, when asked (historically by an Athenian woman) why a Spartan woman can speak amongst men:
"Because only Spartan women give birth to real men."
A soldier (historically a man named Dienekes) when warned that his enemy's arrows will blot out the sun:
"Then we will fight in the shade."
A Spartan woman's farewell:
"Come back with your shield. Or on it."
(Because if a coward did not stay and fight 'till death or victory, he would most likely leave his heavy shield behind so that he could run faster)
Leonidas, when his army is told to surrender their weapons:
"Come and get them!"
Real people actually said that. Hardcore. Oh, and the entire monologue that Dilios says when they show the Spartans dead is actually the text that is written on the tomb of the real King Leonidas.

Wow...the man knows!Yeah,this is true but it gets beaten into our heads from 3 years old so I kinda have this nauseating feeling when I hear it. The funny thing is my young cousin was doing his military service at the time when it came out(we still have that,damn our macho ways)and the officers gave them free tickets and permission of absence to go see it!!They were all like "This 300 vs million thing is what makes us the strongest warriors in the whole creation!!!REMEMBER IT!!!WE ROCK!!"an' all kinds of semprini.Man was I slapping my forehead hard when I heard it went like this all around the country's barracks.What makes us Greeks special as warriors I think is the fact that we keep sucking on our mammas tit untill we're in our 30's...That's why we passed our wisdom to the Romans and now we and the Italians are the only modern warriors living with our parents.Way to go! |
