What a rube.
Opera is annoying, not boring.

I'm not trying to be pretentious. Call it what you want, but I can't enjoy a "film" when it is all a bunch of violence and tits loosely held together with a very thin plot.

Yeah, you're right, Katy, I should really diversify my interests.:rolleyes:

Question: Are you a "pituitary retard" incapable of comprehending my posts for the last however-long-it's-been-that-you've-been-around this place?

Crikey! The seemingly endless amount of churning bullshit here!

Wasnt aimed at you sorry :)

No problem. I just don't want to be too associated with Atari's general jack-assery on this topic.

Why wasn't it also aimed at Alex?

He also declared the movie to be tripe w/o seeing it.

So, what's the difference, Mr. Big?

There is none.

Unlike Alex's Trip, who naturally assumed you also meant him as well hence his reply and the reason I'm replying,

you just can't follow a thread.

i dont think he was the one saying your dumb if you like this movie?

Sure he did. You just want to get all snuggly with him. By all means, go ahead.

Look, there's no point in arguing with any of you.

You can't even understand simple ideas.

Or even remember what happened a few minutes or hours ago.

maybe i already am snuggly with him and we are lying here laughing at you

It looks lame as all hell. I won't be seeing it.

Of course not. Why would you?

Close, but I actually said:

"When I see the preview, all I see is a bunch of green screen effects and violence to make up for a crappy movie. I won't be seeing it."

I said that I thought it looked like tripe based on the previews. And I went out and saw it to confirm my prediction.

If I'd been talking to you I would've quoted you.

I have no idea who you are or what you're talking about.

katy, is kermode's review anywhere online?

You alluded to "beauty is the eye of the beholder" dilettante subjectivism, and I made my comment.

You naturally still have no clue as to what I'm writing about, pardon me.

I don't know. I just saw him talking about it on The Culture Show yesterday.

No, you projected that onto what I wrote.

I didn't read anything you wrote in this thread. I was simply responding to the original post.

You people should read as much as you write, then this would be a better place to hang.

So are any of you going to see 300 again?

"You people."

ha ha, he says they wear nothing but "baby oil, sweat & grime"

xerxes walked out of "disco 2000" & is voguing

ha ha ha

"if you're really interested in leather men in jockstraps" (or something)

he sez it's a film about well oiled man chanting at each other but has nothing to say historically politically phisolophically but it's all about pecs & abs.

ha ha.

anyway, he talks too fast for me to take notes.

this thread has turned into an EPIC battle since I've last read!!!


on one side, Atari and his elite cadre of warrior-posts who are sworn to fight until the end.

on the other, savages from the east! frenzied-zealots who would stop at nothing to see his cities burned and salted.

can he match the faceless hordes that swarm toward the gates?? will the heathens be beaten back only to face the ire of their wrathful gawds???

a dedicated server, the latest in php software and a budget of a couple dollars.....we bring you:

(only on message boards, March 25, 2007)

YAWN.

That's the sound of me being cowed by your intellectual superiority.

in my very humble opinion, this is total nonsense.

total nonsense, mind this.

so here we have someone who is just willing to exercise his right to deliberately avoid a movie, and a bunch of persons mocking him for apparently no other reason than being annoyed with the reasons he's brought up to your attention that made him avoid the movie.

and comments like those, "we are lying here laughing at you", "cowed by yr intellectual superiority", "(critic) talks too fast for me to take notes"... that also is nonsense. i can't fucking believe it.

i can't really understand it all. this guy here, he doesn't like the movie, he isn't being an arrogant prick. he's just displaying the reasons why he won't watch it, why he thinks it's something which won't appeal to him.

what's wrong with that and what's wrong with all of you people fearing the idea of reading carefully when someone posts, or using the brain to go beyond a movie's political agenda? this is unbelievable to say the least.

so, again i ask to myself, is this the sonic youth of 2007?

i did.

AND I FUCKING LOVED IT.

And you're the "youthoftomorrow" haha...

how you've grown before our eyes to ape all the finer sensibilites here and now you disappoint with this little display....tsk, tsk, youthoftomorrow, let's hope your collective namesake fares better...



hehe

Peloponnesian War » Thermopylae

I remember one summer after high school. My friend who had moved away to Oklahoma..Guthrie/Norman area (Flaming Lips country) had returned to Georgia and we would spend our summer nights out in his miserable trailer down by the river (literally).

Well, some river folk had bestowed upon us this brown grocery bag full of some rather nasty river weed.
And so I figured out that we had to roll giant doobies.
So, on this one particular Oconee River evening, I started channeling my history teacher and acted out this, as I remember it, remarkable address concerning the whole history of Ancient Greece.

The "Peloponnesian thing" was bugging me, it was my first thought but I was also second guessing--thinking maybe Pan-Hellenic possibly or something...but that was Alexander the Great.

Ok max, now please explain me how labeling as "dumb or worse" people that enjoyed this movie makes sense to you.

I downloaded the film the other night because I'm a thief and have better things to spend my money on and I'm in 2 minds about it. On a good note some of the choreography in the battle scenes was amazing however that fucking narrator piece of shit pissed me off so much I am still cursing his name now. His voice is so annoying and he always used that power of three trick to make everything he said sound like it was coming from God. Anyway some of the freaks in the films were great, like that fat guy with blades as arms who looked like one of the cenobites from hellraiser and that goat that was playing the flute or something... very entertaining.

Overall I'd say it's worth watching just for some of the battle scenes but be warned that some of it is horrible.
