Mr. Bananagrabber Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 He's right, there are billions of other thins to talk about :P
dabookerman Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 Is there any point to this? Yes. Discuss.
Dan_Dare Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 clearly, they've made the film to knock Top Gun off it's 'most homoerotic movie ever' throne. Not even oiled up beach vollyball can take on muscle men in hotpants, capes and beards.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I take it this is the film 300? Anyway, changing the topic title. Just gonna add 300 at the front or something, to let people know what this is about.
Colin Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I was expecting a new trailer link at the end of all them screen grabs.
dabookerman Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 I was expecting a new trailer link at the end of all them screen grabs. Oh yeah http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/300.html
Colin Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Wicked. Cheers. I've got to do some sorta presentation on Frank Miller next month aswell. Best get researching before I go back to uni. We need that animated gif in here stat from the first trailer. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :laughing:
Daft Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 This film looks so effing awesome!!! I saw the trailer a couple months ago and decided to buy the graphic novel...It kicks ass! I can't effing wait for it!
The Peeps Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Wasn't sure about this thread... then I saw the trailer. The film looks to be quite good.
gaggle64 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I think it looks faintly naff. Seen too many cheap-Gladiator-esque knockoffs come and go to get overly excited by this one. A Gladiator a-like historical epic with a Frank Miller brand that will appeal to Sin City geeks? The marketing men must have creamed their panties when they concocted that one. In a giant tube of translucent orange goop in an underground laboratory no doubt.

Guest Stefkov Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I thnk it looks pretty good, especialy the pile of bodies in the background on the final bit of the ad.
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Those pictures are nothing that a box of KY Gel won't solve.
Dan_Dare Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I am actually ;looking forward to this. It looks like Miller's super stylised action has been picked up on again and should make for an entertaining watch, even if it is style over substance ala Sin City.

Noodleman Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 count me in. is this the gladiator beater? I doubt it very much. It would have nay of the substinance that Gladiator had (besides its not about the Romans). It wont be anywere near as epic. I imagine it will be pretty entertaining though, and its something im looking forward to.
dabookerman Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 Basically Its about 300 Spartans vs 1,000,000 Persians

In a giant tube of translucent orange goop in an underground laboratory no doubt. 300 is about one of the most inspiring, and under explored, stories in history. 300 Spartans hoding back the floodgates to the impending Persian invasion. I can understand you might think that the film looks too stylized and that the "marketing men" are just jumping on the Sin City band wagon but that shouldn't deter you from looking for what it is offering and not what others like it have. I've read the comic, and from what I've heard, this is about the brutality of the Spartan nation and its unified commitment to an idea at any cost, non of this sissy-crap-happy endings-nothing-matters-cos-everyone-goes-to-the-afterlife a la Gladiator. (Not taking anything away from Gladiator, cos I think it rocks) Anyway enough of mmy crappy rant! Read the 'Graphic Novel' before you make any judgment!:p I doubt it very much. It would have nay of the substinance that Gladiator had (besides its not about the Romans). It wont be anywere near as epic. I imagine it will be pretty entertaining though, and its something im looking forward to. If 300 is less epic than Gladiator it has already failed as a film. The Story is vastly more epic, you also have to realise the Battle of Thermopylae happened (With variations in the Persian numbers). Gladiator was basically about two men, this is about two Nations, one being a gateway to Europe and the fast track to European expansion.
Mundi Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Basically Its about 300 Spartans vs 1,000,000 Persians And the thousands of Arcadians that helped them But they're not as awesome as Spartans
Dan_Dare Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 it is a very cool story. 300 Spartans (plus allies, remember) held of the entire Persian army who basically tried to get through a pass about 3 men wide with a Phalanx of the best soldiers the world has ever seen at the other end. The Spartans only lost because they were betrayed by their allies. conclusion: Persians are a bit retarded. Spartans are completely fucking hardcore awesome.
