Picspam, Iran vs. Frank Miller edition

[sigma7]

Apparently Iran is taking the movie 300 as an affront, as explained obliquely and idiotically by a Time columnist, who can weigh in with insight like "Agreeing that 300 is egregious drivel is fairly easy," despite the fact that, of course, nobody in Iran has seen the damn movie.

Of course, Hollywood has timed the release of the movie to coincide with this latest showdown between Tehran and Washington. And probably went back in time and dictated its contents to Frank Miller to begin with. I'm used to finding insipid screeds on the Internets, and I'm all for the devil's advocate, but I would hope that Time would have something a touch more coherent or logical in its print queue. Rrgh. Well, at least she didn't plagiarize it; I can't imagine anyone else laying claim to that piece of drivel....

Iran? Sweetheart? Sometimes it's not all about you.

On a lighter note, your forecast for today: mostly critters, mainly birds, intermittent Leonidas.

I love that pic. I realize the rest of the Internet must be getting tired of 300, but I'm still deeply enjoying it -- thanks!

Hey-- some of us haven't seen it yet. Thus, that pic was the necessary piece of information that I needed to truly understand why your icon is so freakin' hi-larious. :D

I am still absolutely enthralled with all the 300 jokes. Encarta nearly killed me.

[barn-swallow.livejournal.com]

Aww, I love What Not To Wear! =(

And apparently I need to see 300.

And what is "We can't stop here, this is ____" from? Yes, I could look it up, but I will ask you instead.

[sigma7.livejournal.com]

That would be from the film adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Hunter S. Thompson, how we miss you.

[barn-swallow.livejournal.com]

I should have known that. I have never seen the movie but I recognize the hat and cigarette from the freaky DVD cover (which I notice because it is freaky and because Johnny Depp is on it haha).

I saw 300 this weekend. Was I supposed to laugh almost all the way through?? It appears that Frank Miller just does that to me, I don't know why. But now I love the icons/macros even more, yay.
