IOU Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 300 Turns out that Frank Millers amazing graphic novel 300 is coming out as a movie. I am quite happy about this. In the comic book world the most artistic artist/writer is Frank Miller. His book about the battle of Thermapolae is an amazing tale of human strength and courage and an uber-realistic depiction of ancient spartan culture and a truely breathtaking and un-cliche exposition on war, freedom and stoicism, yet it does not try to hide the inherent brutality of the Spartan lifestyle. The vivid colors of Lyn Varley and action packed and riviting pencils and inks of Miller, together with the usual mastery of the written word herein combine to show the special place that the graphic novel must hold in the literary realm. I dont know if the movie can live up but it will be fun to see if they can indeed duplicate what makes Millers work special and convey the same emotional tone in a different medium. In short, 300 is about King Leonides of Sparta, who for religious/legal-political reasons cannot bring his army out to war against the invading Persians. However, wanting to inspire all Free Greeks to come out and defend the worlds one small hope for reason and justice, goes forth with his personnal bodyguard of 300 handpicked soldiers to stop the Persians at Thermopylae, the hot gates, a mountain pass where the Persian hordes will shatter like waves against the rocks... His martyrdom inspired a nation to unite in war and drive their enemy into the sea Didn't Miller have a lot of input for Sin City?? It'd be great if he got the same deal with this... I'd like to see Hardboiled make to the screen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 of course miller had a lot of input for sin city consdiering he wrote and drew the comics and was given co-director credit. anyway, i love his comics but didn't pay tons of attention to 300 b/c he didn't draw it. but dayum that looks fuckin fresh as hell!

4horsemen Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Peeped Borat on Saturday, the fight was just too much! The movie slacker was OK, the unique filming made that movie, although I hated every character. Also watched 24 hours, cheech n chong make an appearance.

mindvapors Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Watched The Brink's Job recently. Fun movie to watch, but i might have only enjoyed it because it's set in 1950s Boston (but filmed in the 1970s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 This movie stars some of the ugliest actors ever seen, but it's still damn good once you get past the main character's not-so-recently shaved unibrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srebmun Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 ^Snoop's debut on the soundtrack didn't hurt as well. What about this Fast Food Nation. Apparently it's directed by Richard Linkletter, it's fiction, and done with the author's input and consent. I usually don't get hyped for these content films, but it should be interesting.
