300
 

Anyone who hasn't seen the trailer, go and download it now.

I don't know, it looks badass, but it obviously isn't realistic at all. Who is going to see it?

Completely agree with you on the whole realistic thing. I don't like that at all.. totally turns me off. I'm going to wait until it's out on DVD.

i can't wait to go see it it's going to be the most awesome movie ever. just like sin city >.>

Yeah I didn't like Sin City lol.

Yeah, I've been trying to get everyone to watch the trailer since it came out last year, lol. Most people just don't seem interested till they watch it. That trailer got awards for trailer of the year last year, and I LOVE the NIN song that plays during it :)

What I love the most about it, is it's based on a true story, though in reality it was something like 150,000 vs 300, not a million like they're doing in the movie, but you have to Hollywood it up a bit i spose.

I especially love the style it's being shot in. The costume design, the sets, the environments. I was a huge fan of Sin City, and am a pretty big fan of anything that steps outside the norm without getting to wacky. It looks absolutely amazing though, and I can't wait :)

The guy in my Avatar is from that movie too btw. Woot!

yeah i'm super hyped about this movie...its looks totally badass, as far as the realism...its not that big of a deal to me...like in Khaoz' ava dude comes from behind a shield covered in arrows with a "I'm going to totally KICK UR AZZ look and attitude"...thats awesome i love it....super hyped

Speaking of Sin City btw, they're doing 2 more :O

Going to be wicked sick.

You are super over-exaggerated for this movie? Think you mean "psyched".

Anyway, looks like it is going to be cool. Unless it is one of the movies that they show the best parts of the movies only during the trailers.

t3h KhaoZ linked me to the trailor... i hate the dude who yells so much. Jesus.. if you see it you'll prolly go deaf by 1/4th into the movie...

annoying.

I like the yelling, it gets you pumped, lol. After watching that trailer when he yells "THIS! IS! SPARTA!" i want to break some shit! The pride and rage in his voice just grabs at me. Makes me want to fuck shit up too :O

no i mean hyped as in hyper...everything about the trailer gets me hyper lol...i love this kinda stuff.

they can hype you up for something, they can psych you up for something, they can pump you up for something...imo its all the same just choice of words is all....im pretty simple like that lol

A lot of people use the word "Hyped" that way. Even I do sometimes. Don't sweat it.

1. hyped

1. Extremely excited, ecstatic, stoked, treed, pumped, psyched, jazzed, amped, revved, wired.

yeah it was more like 150,000 vs 7000. the first two days of teh battle athens had sent 6,000 soldiers, and the remaining 700 were actually vassals of the spartans. a local who knew the terrain was bribed by the persians to be taken around behind the spartan lines, as the persians only knew of the pass that the spartans held. when Leondias found out that he was gonig to be surrounded, he sent away everyone except for the 300 spartans he had taken with him. the casualties were really very largely disportionate. an estimated 20,000 persian casulaties to 1000 for the greeks. despite the overwhelming numbers, it was a heroic stand. a tactical victory for the persians, although at a great price. it gave the greeks hooooooope!

a funny thing, the guy who recieved the bribe from the persians, after he gave them the information, the persians kiilled him :-P

lol..isnt that how it usually goes when ur dealin under the table lol

going to see it at the IMAX theater in Arlington Friday at midnight woooooooo!

Pretty accurate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae

But still the most famous last stand in history, the Alamo doesn't come close. The movie may include those Thebians. Who knows. Still 300 Spartans.

Anyways, back to the movie. I definatly like how bad ass it seems. And I definatly like a little unrealism as opposed to a movie like "Troy" where all the action is mundane. But it is easy to go overboard to the point of getting burnt out on it. A setting that fits nicely is LOTR, but having said that, LOTR is too long, drug out, and not enough action. Makes you want to fall asleep.

I would have really prefered if the movie had more unrealistic ties to mythology as opposed to these monster things we see. The huge elephants(cop out from LOTR), arrows blocking out the sun, and shields that can block a nuclear bomb is fine. I really like that. It is the monster looking things that turn me off. And besides, you have to give a little bit of edge to 300 people. If 300 people can stop 1 million, they need to be like walking tanks.

But yes, am definatly seeing that movie this week. This movie came close(atleast in previews) to what a good movie should be like. Gets you pumped up, gets your hormones working, and like Khaoz said, I want to drop kick something, rip off my shirt, and have rough sex with the first moving object I see. Thats what a movie should do.

It better not dissapoint or I am going to have a tourrette syndrome-esque tyrade lashing out at whatever poor individual is unfortunate enough to be sitting in front of me at the time.

Edit:The main character is the guy from Phantom of the Opera

like his neck so he'll not yell anymore?

yep


Shenanigans

oh man i just watched this special on the history channel about this movie and its relationship with history and the comic book..the director talks about what he wanted and stuff...and after watching clips of the movie...it is def. a MUST watch like some guys already said, with the prideful, anger in his voice as he yells it just makes every hair on ur body stand up, and the action from some of the shots in this movie is outstanding...there is another show on the history channel on thursday night 9 pm central time i think..def a must see if ur into this movie..pretty good stuff...and i got a date with the movie theatre friday night to see this movie lmao

yeeah, 300th post in the thread titled 300.

I have a chick tagging along with mine, it was supposed to be man day, but you nkow how the little prickers get in teh way. now i have to call her 2 hours before we leave to tell her to get ready. and if she becomes a bitch, i'll be like

"Who set your tampon on fire?"

Saw it last night at midnight. This movie seriously kicked so much ass. Anyone who doubted it, tooooooooooold you.

i want to see this movie. It better be bloody and a gore fest.

I'm such a lightweight

great movie

Yes just seen it. It is pretty bad ass, and the best part is its original. Alot of things you don't typically see in a normal bloody fight movie. And yes, one huge gore fest.

I'm so pissed, it's not playing at any theaters in town.. not even in towns 30 minutes or two hours away... like what the fuck??? yes.. i will spend $30 to drive to a theater to see this goddamn movie. :mad:

wait a month or 2 and download it lol, im goin to see it sunday night probably

pretty stoked

O...M....G... I must go see it again, and again, and again. The dialog, the music, the slow-motion are all so good I want to cry. FOR SPARTA!

Ive spent enough time waiting, now now now

i'm sure a decent watchable rip is out there now.
i'm gonna look tonight.

i saw it on imax last night. . .it's the most awesome cool badass movie ever

My 300th Post!

I thought how more appropriate to make my 300th post than on this topic? :D

Yeah man I saw it friday and it was a badass movie. I'd rank it in my top five all time favorites for sure
