300 omg was it supposed to be funny?
- Thread starter Sentient 6
- Start date
Which, of course, means that either iced earth or symphony x will make an album about it.

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,
Nathan "The SwordLord" Block
SwordLord Productions, Inc.
In case you haven't noticed, no one else here slobbers obsequiously on warrel's boots. I'm pretty sure he just wants to be treated like a regular joe, otherwise he wouldn't hang out here.

The 300 Spartans is excellent. You should look into buying Gideon Nisbet's study of Ancient Greece in film, Amazon link here:
Amazon
It's interesting for various reasons: Nisbet is at the cutting edge of Reception Studies, a hugely resourceful historian/writer; He's incredibly witty and intelligent; he's a complete geek, which makes him so endearing and finally I have coffee with him every morning as he is indeed my colleague and prior to that the department supervisor of my Thesis. He wrote comics and science fiction while at Oxford too, so he's a wildly talented man.
He's currently teaching a course that looks at Reception of classical antiquity, with heavy emphasis on the Nazi's. It's the envy of classics departments the world over.

Don't you ever get...
Sonata Arctica...
Except it would take place on the frozen battlefields of Finland. And, somehow, have EVEN MORE bare chested men.

I used to be into greek and roman mythology and if I remember correctly Spartan warriors were taken from birth and trained and conditioned to be lean mean killing machines. They were some of the most brutal warriors ever, and the movie is loosly based on a true story this movie does seem retarded.

So I just came back from the movie. Not as horrible as I thought it would be, I didn't hate it. NOT on my movie of the year list by any means, though you all have to know my last two viewings were Number 23 and Ghost Rider. Maybe my standards are very, very low at this point.
But, I will say this....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the top with every single aspect of the movie. The acting, the visuals and dialogue.
Maybe they should have gotten Manowar to be the 300 men, since obviously they coped thier wardobe for the Spartans.
And, the film also gave me an idea for a new product .................The "Spartan Abominizer "
Overall, I say somewhere between a C and a B for this film.

Man, that sucks to hear that it....uh....sucks. I'd still like to see it, but perhaps I'll prepare myself for laughs instead of awesome-ness.

I was waiting for the king to yell "drop and give me 20 crunches Spartans" everyone in Sparta has a personal trainer apparently, ......
Do you really put your bottom against a wall with legs straight up, and go "Huh Huh Huh".......?
