Mr. Right: Hey man, is he looking at us?
Mr. Left: I think he is, man.
Mr. Right: Is that hairy, knuckledragging, lycanthropic motherfucker looking at us?

The Internet vs. the English lanuage...

Based on the trailers, 300 is almost certainly going to be an unutterably stupid movie. A guy with a beard yells incoherently at the camera in what I guess is supposed to be a heroic manner. Various people get killed. Scenes keep speeding up and slowing down to let us know that exciting, important and violent things are happening. Heavy metal music blasts through the whole thing, but at random intervals it goes quiet so the bearded guy can pop up to yell "Sparta!" and kick the whole thing off again.

So, almost certainly rubbish then.

But. It has already spawned a piece of great literature. I give you the AICN Sparta review. It's like the real ultimate power guy was allowed write something longer than a list of why ninjas are cool.

Genius.
