'300' update

[trinityofone]

Well, you-know-what is coming out this weekend. I don't want to start a big thing again. But there are at least two things I feel the need to point out.

First, the movie has already sold out on Fandango. It's probably going to be big. Le sigh, you know? What can you do.

Second, however—second: this review has been posted on Slate. It backs up, almost point for point, everything I said in my review/rant/"delusional episode." I hope to see more reviews like this in the next few days.

And after that, it's up to the rest of the world to decide.

ETA: Poor Dana Stevens, who wrote the Slate review, is getting lots of hate in the comments too. *rolls eyes* You know, I like discussion, I don't mind disagreement, but I really fail to understand why people feel they have the right to be so damn rude.

(P.S. Thanks to everyone who offered congrats the other day on my decision to quit. I'm scared as hell right now and in danger of not being able to afford to eat anything but ramen for the foreseeable future, but I'm also really relieved, and all the support helps. Thanks, guys.)

The New York Times review (http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/03/09/movies/09thre.html?n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fS%2fScott%2c%20A%2e%20O%2e) isn't particularly positive, either.

Yeah, that touches on some of it too. *feels less crazy by the minute.* Yay!

Yeah. One of my guy friends was counting down the hours until '300' and I made of him for it. He was all: You can't tell me you're not excited about it.

Me: I'm not. (Sadly, he looked flabbergasted)

Yay for mentioning that! I certainly forgot to. (I'm wondering how many idiots from the last post saw that and went "Huh")
