So the trailer for 300 is up. I've heard all manner of rumorage that it was, indeed, made of Awesome, and yet I still wasn't excited. If someone had just told me that the trailer music is "Just Like You Imagined," or shown me, say, one actual frame from the trailer, I'd have seen it much sooner.

I'm not sold on the movie, but as far as trailers go, this one's pretty sweet. If the movie can keep the style shown for a whole runtime, this'll be a treat.

I was dubious, at first, 'cuz I dig on the book, and didn't know if the "whole film shot in front of a green screen" thing would work as well in full color. However, the trailer (I saw it before, but can't remember where) gave me all kinds of pretty-visuals goosebumps.
However, it also makes me wanna sneak a flask into the theater, drink every time they say "Sparta" or "Spartan," and see if I can walk out by myself. I'm betting no.
Feelgood family hit of the year, anyone?

Quite graphic for a movie about bowling.

I wonder what Victor Davis Hanson will think about the movie.
