Can't Stop The Signal

Mar 08, 2007 00:32

It would seem obvious that I haven't exactly been paying attention to LJ for awhile. Like similar Internet fads before it (think Friendster) I suppose the appeal of blogging wore off. Plus the fact I got bored with my layout and didn't have the means to change it, but that's another story.

Mostly I suppose it's thinking about what I want

The 300 was brilliant.

And just like V for Vendetta, I'm probably going to see it in the cinema again soon. Heh.

Lol the fanboys can be so viciously sexist, it can get a bit offensive. But she really is a bad reviewer though regardless of gender...she gave Elektra a "Fresh"?!

you know they have a poster of this movie at the bus shelter right in my school and prior to reading your post i figured it was some 3rd rate horror movie...pity the posters and marketing doesn't do justice to the show!

will - try - and watch it. although its 4 weeks to the exams!! :S

...how can four weeks to exams be a problem?

Same thing for me, plus I've got Dorothy Cheung this weekend.

But, hey, I went and saw it anyway.

And I'm going to see it again. :P

Jayme's a robot (i.e. Singaporean). Leave her be. :P

Well, then again, Jayme's got Cognitare. Let's give her more credit than that. :P

If you think the movie version of V for Vendetta was good, wait 'til you read the graphic novel.

Lend it to me. I've been planning to purchase the comic version of 300 for awhile.

Very true. boyspacefriend March 8 2007, 10:49:32 UTC

Bob! Didn't know you still read this blog. Very interesting article though.

The portrayal of Xerxes in particular was suggestively effeminate (in a bad way) especially when he asks Leonidas to kneel (my mind was adding the words "and suck", it was just that kind of scene) during their initial meeting. Leonidas, masculinity made flesh, upholds his "honor" by refusing and Xerxes reacts like a spoiled petulant lover.

It's a shame we won't see any accurate historical representations of ancient Greek man-boy relationships any time soon, at least in a major motion picture. The demands of a commercial release and a worldwide audience make that a hard sell especially in less tolerant places outside the West.

ALEXANDER, i dont think there were any women in that movie

There was! boyspacefriend March 10 2007, 04:14:32 UTC

He had a sex scene with Rosario Dawson (a.k.a. Roxanne the Barbarian).
