going to see it this w/e hopefully. can\'t wait!
Aye, I\'m hoping to see it soon too - it really caught my imagination.
I don\'t normally go to the cinema \'cos of the exorbitant cost. I\'ve got a really decent set-up at home and it\'s often cheaper just to get the dvd. Some things however just beg to be seen on the big screen and this is one of \'em.

A real horror show!
Are you sure about that vincenti? I think he was in the movie, only, he was missing his head. Forgive my warped sense of humor.
Angel and I went to see this movie last week as it was my turn to choose what movie to see. I loved it! Especially the fight scene with the big giant d00d. Very cool! Unfortunately, Angel found it a little too bloody for her sensitive tastes and therefore didn\'t really enjoy it. Oh well. I have a feeling that next time we go see a movie together we\'ll be watching some light-hearted romantic comedy or something.
See ya mate,
Chris
>edit< PS: We threw our TV out a few months back-which is a truly liberating experience I might add-anyway, it\'s amazing how much more study and painting (and work in general) I get done these days as a result of not owning a tube. The only drawback is that I feel a little out of touch when talking to my brother and he mentions some TV shows or that another superstar is in re-hab. Robbie who?? Happy days man!

It’s a picture of Hunter S. Thompson. He was an American writer. Because of his declining health, he committed suicide in 2005.
Johnny Depp portrayed him in the Movie Fear and loathing in Los Vegas . There is also a book of the same name. And of course, the book was better.
My favorite book by him is The Rum Diaries.

I saw this review at another site. Don\'t know the original author unfortunately.
Rather amusing.
I just saw a movie that’ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It’s called 300. I don’t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could’ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it’d still rule.
It’s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated sh#t out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.
The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it’s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, “I need some extra sauce packets” guess what? You’re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.
I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.
TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN’T LIKE: COOL THING ONE: HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES Who gives a f@%k if the music isn’t historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could’ve used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel’s Pretzel is telling you that you’ll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.
COOL THING TWO: FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a d1@k made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There’s wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he’s got Rosie O’Donnell on his back.
Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.
NOT SO GOOD THING: DUDE NUDITY (“DUDE-ITY”) These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they’re serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.
Any directors reading this – IT’S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES. Can’t someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON? My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I’ve seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.

that is a friggin hilarious review. i peed myself a little
An AWESOME review , its really great to see in these days of equal oppourtunities that they are letting people who have had FRONTAL LOBOTAMIES write reviews!lol
Such an incredible grasp of the films historical setting too,not to mention the insight into the emotioal trauma of saying goodbye to people you may never see again,such depth is staggering!
GOD BLESS .................VINCENTI

My thoughts exactly, concerning both films. Although, I\'m sure I haven\'t missed Inland Empire as it hasn\'t been released here and I have no idea when it will (or even if...). :~(Originally posted by lono
I get the feeling I\'m one of the only people in the world who couldn\'t care less about 300. It just doesn\'t excite me in any way and I\'m not sure why.
I do keep meaning to go and see Inland Empire by David Lynch, but I think I may have missed that now.
But, I\'ll probably see 300 at some point, and much like Avelorn, I can only be positively surprised and not disappointed as I have no expectations...
