the weathers still being indecisive. do you want to be warm? cold? dude, throw us a bone here. after the blistering cold, then warm, then cold weather of the week, the weekend was somewhere in the middle. which was fine because i had to you know\u2026actually go out in that weather. this weekend was (finally) 300 <\/i> time\u2026woot. 300 was originally pushed back from its premiere week b\/c fish had to take care of his dog (it just had surgery), but still couldn\u2019t make it this weekend. so the rest of us (me, my roomie fonz, and mel) soldiered on to the lincoln square imax for some spartan carnage\u2026in imax! all in all wow. mass carnage, and enough plot to say \u201cok, the story wasnt shit\u201d. it doesn\u2019t need a plot so much as a skeleton from which to hang fight scenes off of. massive, bloody, holy shit fights that make you pee a little in your pants. and it didn\u2019t hurt that there was both the graphic novel and you know\u2026actual history\u2026to progress its story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
speaking of the story, i heard iranians are thoroughly pissed at the movie. are you serious? b\/c you know\u2026were you offended at the fantasy portrayal of one of the ancient persian rulers? the inaccurate depiction of ancient persian saw-for-hands executioners? or maybe the grossly inaccurate portrayal of rampaging mutant rhinoceroses? crissakes it\u2019s a movie\u2026and a fantasy one at that (based on history)\u2026but seriously, didn\u2019t the oracle girl floating in mid-air give away its fantasy setting? on the bright side, i think i saw one of my chinky ancestors amongst xerxes\u2019 horde\u2026woot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we got stuffed at kun jip<\/i> in k-town afterwards too. oh, and i did nothing the rest of the weekend. hooray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
