I'd like to see " A film by Warrel Dane " on screen sometime in the future.
WD seems to have a keen eye and most here do tend to agree with his assesments of film.
So, what do you say Warrel? Pull a Rob Zombie.

Gerard Butler thought if the script had been spoken instead of shouted, the film would have been a homo-erotic comedy. I've just set the 300 as a 3rd semester course, and I'm gonna set an essay based on this thread. Obviously without the rape.
I think it'll be something like: "Does 300 bastardise the story of Thermopylae? and how does it fit into the overall arc of reception studies?"
I still liked the movie, but it's pretty disappointing.

Hello Warrell,
I am the promoter that has been offered your show for Minneapolis. As it so happens, my day job is owning three movie theatres here in the area.
Ask your booking agent to make sure you get the day after Minneapolis off. I'll take you to one of my theatres and you can watch as many movies as you want.
The price of your admission will be to perform "Battle Angels" as a part of the Nevermore set. Just kidding ... I know you said you'd never do it, but it still remains my favorite song that you do.
Looking forward to meeting you,

A lot of it was meant to be funny. When the black dudes head got cut off and he was smiling was priceless. I laughed soo hard.
"Look at em' they're spinning!"
I dunno the fight scenes were immense and truly the only reason to go see the movie in the first place. All the other parts were like, Less talk more rock! Non-the-less I was entertained to say the least. I hyped it up so much so I can't really get a good perception of it until I watch it again later.

A box of rocks no longer has any meaning to it. From now on, the phrase will be "You are as dumb as SwordLord".
Good day, citizen.

Hmmm I was looking forward to seeing this movie now i dont know if its worth 10 bucks. Its a shame they probably massacred the battle of Thermopylae story, because thats one of the greatest historical stories ever. My Roman History prof said the movie The 300 Spartans is really good, Derek I know you're knowledgeable in this field, have you seen this movie? If so, do you recommend it?

I was thinking about powerfest, but I am not gonna make the drive for some bands that I don't really care about. The ONE that I care about is Shatter Messiah, but I am tour manager for their upcoming tour, so I will see them PLENTY of times.

i liked it but i didn't know much about the story before hand.
and yeah i found myself laughing a few times, like when he's chewing on the apple 'besides...there's no reason we can't be civil about this'
or when he's telling Xerxes they might as well had their women fighting the Persians, or he couldn't kneel to him because of the cramp in his leg from slaughtering all of his men. i don't know, pretty bad-ass character i thought, even if he did look like he could be in Manowar

i watched a show on the history channel about this battle last night (and several other battles between the Greeks and Persians) , as history channel always likes to do these movie tie-ins, and it did get me interested in the movie. now this thread has made me rethink that interest haha. guess i'll wait till its on netflix.

The movie itself was amazing, up for my movie of the year so far. But what must be understood is the fact that it was VERY LOOSLY based on the actual historical events. Frank Miller has said that from the beginning about his 300 comic series. So with that in mind, I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
