Went to see 300, and after everything bad I'd heard, I actually enjoyed it much more than I thought I would - visually, it's just fascinating. Theme-wise, I didn't find it more upsetting than most action movies we're fed these days. At least they never claimed to have god on their side?
And it vaguely amuses me that we're erecting as heroes a people that end up disappearing not because of a huge blood-bath, but because their number of citizens dwindle to nothing, partly because they were too busy having gay sex to breed (of course, that's an exaggeration, though not a huge one). Let's not forget they were truly horrific eugenists. Yay Sparta! Not. But at least they taught and respected their women (as much as you could back then, y'know). Yes, my head hurts from the gray area as well.
Totally unrelated, except for the fact we saw it before the movie : I really love that latest Levis commercial.
There's another commercial that I love lately : it's for a fragrance and the fact I cannot remember the name for the life of me? Is a sign of bad marketing, people. Anyway. It's a couple and it's lots of shots of them kissing and touching? And then the bottle of perfume appears, and it's mostly white. If anyone has any clue what on earth I'm rambling about, I'd appreciate if you could tell me the name of that fragrance. *g*
