geebs300 was pretty awesome. The movie looks amazing- beautiful and brutal at the same time. Honestly, there's not much plot. There's a tiny bit of political intrigue, but for the most part it is what it is- 300 bad-asses holding their own against a million. Sure you've seen it all before- Helm's Deep, the Battle of Gondor, basically a long version of those battles or the ones in Gladiator or Braveheart. But it still looks awesome. Lots of fighting and bad-ass posturing and speeches. Its almost an exercise on how to be a bad-ass mother.
Although its also slightly gay- bunch of muscular guys in briefs, like haven't they heard or armor or something? And the crazy blonde dude and the Captain's son were kinda gay with their pretty boy looks and playful banter. Like in this scene the director and the Phantom of the Opera introduce in a preview. Not that I'd say they're seeming kinda ghey to their faces given that they're frickin' bad-ass. taylortownsendv('Who knew decapiation could be so beautiful?') But ha, I was trying to figure out who one of the main spartan guys was, and I was thinking he looked kinda like Sean Bean, but it was Faramir! Ha, well, I was close, since Sean Bean was Boromir. They were brothers!
All in all, it was a pretty good movie, I think. If you go to see a movie this weekend, let it be 300.
So we get a Sayid flashback this week on Lost. Apparently he was working as a cook in Paris, when he got discovered by one his former torture victims and is captured and tortured himself. But in apologizing into the chick he tortured, she let him go. Anyhoo, the camp is busy watching Sawyer challenge the rest of the camp's best player to get back his stuff, only to get his ass whupped by Hurley. Though ha on Sawyer being all, "Who the hell are you?" to Paolo and Nikki. Heh, maybe when the purple light happened, they spontaneously appeared and everyone just thinks they've always been around.
Anyhoo, Sayid, Locke, Kate, and Rousseau happen upon the Flame. Rousseau leaves them temporarily since she has no interest in this. Turns out Patches is a Ruskie. And Miss Klugh is with him! He claims to be the last member of the Dharma Initiative and had a truce with the "hostiles", but he's just another Other in disguise. He captures Locke, but they capture Miss Klugh, and its a tense standoff, but Miss Klugh tells Patches to shoot her instead, which he does. The capture him, and Locke inadvertantly blows up the flame. How? The place was wired with explosives, which Kate and Sayid neglect to tell Locke. Had they, I think it would be pretty obvious entering "77" to indicate an incursion by hostiles means that would cause a detonation. But they got a map. And hopefully they grabbed some other useful things.
Apparently that's the communication station though, and they theorize its been non-functional since the Swan station blew up. I guess the info the Others had could have been gotten before the purple light, and the World Series would've been before that as well.
On Jericho, Jake can be a dumbass sometimes! If your leg is trapped and you can't reach your gun, frickin' tell Mimi to hand it to you BEFORE you tell her to run and hide. And sure, playing dead kept them alive, but I'd be kinda pissed to get robbed of supplies like that, especially with that world the way it is and such things in high demand.
And wait, those people killing Sarah and Hawkins team they'd kill Sam, Darcy, or Sarah to get the location of the "package" from him? But not his daughter Allison? And what are Jake and Stanley, homophobes? They never heard of huddling together for warmth?!
