Author Topic: 300 Jeremy Spracklen Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Arlington, TX, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2007 02:14 AM                     Two words - fucking retarded. I liked that ending better when it was in Gladiator. In fact, I would like to splice that in at the end. If anyone has the last reel of Gladiator, I would be willing to take it off their hands for $4, half a bottle of Tide and a used Donald Trump doll. The only thing that was cool at the end when you see that the main guy was wearing his Frank-n-Furter undies the entire time. Then, as a tribute, the whole army fights in their Frank-n-Furter drawers while some guy cribs from Braveheart. Oh...hope that didn't ruin it for anyone.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 03-09-2007 12:31 AM                     If Jeremy hated it enough to post a review, then it must be great.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

I thought it was going to be some silly MTVish jerky cam/semi-modernized garbage. It was actually well shot with authentic dialogue.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-09-2007 08:00 AM                        quote: Jeremy Spracklen $4, half a bottle of Tide and a used Donald Trump doll. What are you, McGuyver? That doesn't make any sense. You completely forgot to ask for a toothpick, dental floss, a nine iron, and six copies of Tank Girl on DVD.

The special effects were great, especially the sound effects.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-09-2007 06:38 PM                        The Donald Trump doll is "used"?  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 03-10-2007 12:05 AM                        With the exception of the two D Cinema 3-D showings at the Dole Cannery 18 in Honolulu, "300" will be the first screening of a regular feature film in digital at that theatre. Because I took advantage of a Best Buy promotion, I have a DVD showing how the film was made as well as a free ticket to the movie and I am planning to use it this week end. I will post my comments about the film and the presentation after I see the movie. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Alex Grueneberg Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Chicago, IL Registered: Aug 2004 posted 03-10-2007 12:57 AM                        The sound mix on this packs a serious punch. Opening logos Other then that this isn't really my forte and the slow motion got a little masturbatory after a while.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-10-2007 02:39 AM                        But it's based on a comic book! Now, how long before some nut-job informs me it's a GRAPHIC NOVEL, not a comic book! Get a life...  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

In Ancient Greek? Αλέιθια? Did Mel Gibson have anything to do with the production?  |  IP: Logged Kyle Anderson Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Tyler, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 03-10-2007 03:41 AM                     EXCELLENT, except that the ending kinda sucked (a bit long-winded; could have cut a minute out of the dialogue and it would have been more consistent with the sight of 10k Spartans) =/ Action sequences were AWESOME... denotes multiple moments of sit-back and sigh at how badass that just was. Loved the 40 seconds of focus on each of the main warriors in combat - great choreography, used to great effect - cinematography was top-notch! 4.5/5 -.5 for the poorly done ending. +.5 for the nudity (take that Gladiator)  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-10-2007 04:01 AM                        quote: Mike Spaeth Now, how long before some nut-job informs me it's a GRAPHIC NOVEL, not a comic book! Get a life... Hey it's a GRAPHIC NOVEL, not a comic book!!! Nut job out. Actually there is a difference. Comic books are for babies, graphic novels are for grown up loser men who can't get a girlfriend.

Graphic novels are for people who feel insecure reading comic books, and comic books are for people who don't give a shit. If you were to ask Frank Miller, I bet he'd say it's a comic book.  |  IP: Logged
