Anyone looking forward to seeing 300?

[alter_ego_trip]

From the previews this looks like a pretty cool movie. I guess I like big battle movies: Troy, Gladiator, etc., especially one's with a w/ a "Greek" look to them (I guess that's why I liked Troy so much when others thought it sucked).

I want to see it, not sure when I'll be able to pull it off.

I'm looking forward to this one. I also like Greek movies, Gladiator is a guilty pleasure.

I'm totally looking forward to this one. I bought the book about this battle that was recommended in another thread. I'm probably gonna start reading it this weekend.

Heck-the-freak-yeah I'm lookin' forward to seeing it! I've watched the trailer so many times now!!!

[Leddamang]

Me too - I downloaded it on xbox live, why not its free. I'll be going to see it in iMAX probably saturday during the day to miss the rush. Peench which book are you referring to the hardcover reissue? I've been meaning to get it myself. There's a good article with Gerard Butler (King Leonidas sp?) in this months Men's Health.

The Recommended Reading thread is HERE, but apparently the book isn't in that thread. Shoot. Epyon recommended it. I have it on my desk at home but can't remember the name. I'll try to remember to check when I get home and post the name. Sorry!

Not a Biggie, the comic Frank Miller wrote was aptly named 300 ...but if thats not what it is, you have me curious now, excuse me ill be going through that thread now

thx

[Jon Liu]

Frank Miller's comic is one and the same as the movie. So you might want to check that out if you're interested in it. Not sure what peench read but, check that out too

Peench,
I know I recommended Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield to some folks in one thread. It's a historical novel about the Spartan society in general and the Battle of Thermopylae specifically. One of the best books I've read over the past few years. It's much more historically driven than fantasy-based, though, so I don't know if it will appeal to the same folks as this movie does.

[Woundup]

I am going to see this.

[Leddamang]

thanks camdawg, i can stop looking through that thread, asking myself...wtf am i looking for....i love that kind of history stuff, now if i can just find the time to read it,

[KEEZY]

This should be damn cool on IMAX (the flat kind!)

Cam - that's exactly the book I bought. I checked it last night to confirm. That's the one I'm starting next. Thanks for the recommendation, I can't wait to read it!
