Well, them 300 Spartans have taught me something.

I always thought to speak laconically meant - to speak like Jimmy Stewart, you know, all drawly and slow. Seems not! I've been using the word wrongly for years.

Not just useful for their Abs then. :)

And does Gerald Butler bellow all through the film? *Dies of the submissive squeee.*

Sadly I have to go and see "I Want Candy" before I get to max out on testosterone. blech.

i love how the spartans all had different accents.

i didn't like, however, how all the persians and their allies were dark skinned.

The accent thing is always difficult. Better different ones, I think than do what Stone did and have all the Greeks speak with Irish accents so Farrell didn't stand out!

*G*

you are so very welcome!

funny/disturbing anecdote: i went to see 300--or 'zoo' as my friends, émile and andrea thought it was called--with my friend, naomi. she was so excited by all the manly men in the movie that i had to tell her not to wet herself (let's ignore what was happening to me :P ). after the movie, as we were chatting about our favourite parts, she told me about that scene where one of the men gets decapitated, and i quote: 'damn! those guys are so hot! you know i'd do that headless guy. his body was still hot. you just have to cover his neck!'

Oh, but what abs! We wanted to join them, but sadly we are too late...

I would be the confused Spartan Mother: "Come back without your codpiece... no, that's not right...."

I loved all the creaking leather in 300:) It is beautiful eye candy of a movie..made to look like a moving comic book and I adored it.

It's only when he's being funny that the accent crept in.

There's a man who knows how to bellow!!

Breath control, ooo-yeah.

I just saw 300 last night in IMAX - totally hot. I want to go see it again now that I won't be distracted by the silly plot and can focus on manbits.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I wish we had an IMAX. They built one in Bournemouth when I lived there and for about 2 years it didn't open due to some legal wrangle, so I never got to go.

Wah!

mmmmm Manbits! Can't wait!
