BLAZING SANDALS - My Review of 300

May 04, 2007 00:51

A few weeks back, my friend Delene and I decided to take in a movie. Having recently lost out on a group IMAX experience of 300 due to my third bout with the flu in so many months, I was pretty determined that 300 was going to be our cinematic choice du jour. True, the reviews were something short of stellar, but I had been sufficiently hypnotized ( Read more... )

This is surely the best and finest and most brilliant review of 300 I've yet run across, and I've read a lot of them. You're on the money about the bizarre juxtaposition of homophobia and homoeroticism (I'm still giggling over the line "Village People vs. Priscilla, Queen of the Persians").

Glad you liked it. After having seen the movie, I just needed to vent. And although laughing myself into a migraine in the car ride back with Delene right afterward and chatting with you about it over the phone later were both quite "cleansing", ;-) I still felt like I had to do something more... substantial.

Truthfully, I can't wait for the DVD to come out. The Sherman Oaks Galleria doesn't serve booze and this flick begs for pitchers of it.

I hope this will help to tide you over.

That is brilliant!

Many of his other abbreviated scripts are pretty damn funny, too. To say nothing of the... um, unique replies he gets about them. Speaking of "unique replies", see below. ;-)

Ooh, my first incomprehensible post from an anonymous nutcrumpet! I feel so special. ;-)

Post-and-runs are always amusing, especially the really brave anonymous kind. I think it was Harlan Ellison who said, "Don't you hate it when somebody finally works up the balls to make an anonymous phone call, and the best they can manage is 'fuck you'?"
