The 300 Is Twice As Sensitive As I Am

After seeing The 300 again, I’ve decided on what I find to be manliest feature of this film.

Anything a man needs to decide can be done in a maximum of five days. Men are better at deciding than women and I’ve just demonstrated this — with gusto. Women will spend six, ten, sometimes they spend their entire fucking lives deciding on the easiest of shit. And worse yet, after they’ve decided and done it, they’ll spend their entire lives re-deciding!

Then they’ll protest in front of abortion clinics. How silly.

The manliest part of The 300 is that the movie gives women a chance to shine.

Giving women the chance they don’t deserve is part of being a man. It’s our Nature of Nurture as I like to call it — with a term I have just at this very moment coined. Giving women the gentle slap on the ass they need comes with the penis, fellows and gentlemen. And you better take it because you can’t leave it. There’s no Returns Counter at the Penis R Us. There’s also no technical support line, no manual, and no amount of injected estrogen in the world could malfunct your manliest tool of all.

Your man brain.

Just like the other manliest film of all time, Doctor Strangelove, The 300 has only one female character. Men are tempests of emotion and character, as you all know. We are deeper than 20,000 leagues and the limit of our excellent is unbound. We could be kicking your ass at one moment and then helping you clean yourself up the very next, thoroughly disgusted at the state of you, but giving you a second chance also for some reason.

We’re fucking sensitive. Men are more sensitive than a skinned cat in a lemon juice factory.

Women, however, have only one dimension. That’s why The 300 is so manly. It doesn’t waste a bunch of my fucking time on ten lady characters who are all the goddamn same and are going nowhere. In The 300, women are given the most fair and unbiased treatment they have ever been given on film. The key word there is given; a man gave it to them.

I’m talking about The Queen of Sparta here, who by even my account is nearly fuck up free.

Nearly.

The 300 shows what happens to the world physically when there’s no men around. Everything gets fucked up by an invading army of bad ass dudes. More importantly, The 300 shows what happens to women emotionally when there’s no men around.

They have no fucking idea what to do.

I can only think of four words when I imagine a woman on her own trying to make a decision:

Panic, at, the, disco.

I heard that band name on the radio earlier and it stuck in my head. It’s literally all that comes to mind. But in all seriousness, women are just as much a disaster under the weight of a dilemma as they are under the weight of a Jeep full of fat guys. The Queen of Sparta was nearly fuck up free because she did everything a man told her to do. Except when she fucked that dude. He didn’t actually tell her to do that. He just insinuated.

That’s her fuck up.

Women take their entire lives to make decisions because someone went and convinced them they can think for themselves. Right. I don’t ask my clock what time it is. I tell it what time it is. The damn thing just keeps track for next time.

Tsk. What’s really irking you is that the only way you’re going to get any male attention (which thing you crave) is by being a porn star.
Anything else you do to improve or enhance yourself, is just for yourself.

Oh, sorry blackmage, but I actually do want to see this movie. I’m sure I’ll love the visual FX, slow motion fight scenes, buff manly bodies AND also get to have a great laugh.

“The men were men, and the women were pretty much men as well”
Why don’t you quit laughing (it’s only cute when chimps do it in that fashion), and realize-men would be much happier on this earth if women could instintively become a clone of them at any given moment. That would be truly helpful, useful-the ultimate assistant. Why is Stepford such a bad place? You’re just scared.

Better is a word which requires a fair game. Games are inventions of men to test ones worthiness in a hunting pack. Therefore competitiveness is a quality derived for masculine rank. In simple terms; You feel it is necessary to compare your apples to oranges. A biological sign that male homosapiens show when they have been socially dominated or abused their whole lives. You feel weak, and are afraid of other men. So you try to latch on to the group Man. This is because you feel unworthy. You feel an instictual need to challenge women as a recourse. You think you have better chances of dominating. In turn, if I were super empathic I would say a woman dominated you anyways. Now your burning up inside. Anger would only prove this to be true. But that is how you feel, don’t you?

Too bad for you, huh?

I think that was an excellent post. Really, I must rub this in. Female, your purpose on this site is to make some “kind of point”. Now, you can moan and bitch about how there is a need for equality blah blah and no one will care but the truth is there: Men are better than women.

In what? In every.fucking.thing. It doesnt matter how much women are becoming managers, becoming teachers etc. It doesnt fucking matter. The only reason the fem-nazi rave about it is because women ARE the special olympics. If a man scales mount everest, fuck, he is just another of several hundred other men who have done it. If a women does it, wow, its suddenly “news worthy”.

get the point? I dont mind protecting and defending women which will come in due course when i answer the call of national service. However, its women like you feminists which makes me want to rethink my earlier commitment. Stop whining and bitching. Be better than us if you can - As a gender collectively.. you cant even beat an average guy so lay off some of the more enlightened men on this site.

I have seen the 300. Can anybody spell disappointment? Did they need the human crustacean or the goatman? I don’t think so. Why include them? Just to show the production house’s gee whizz FX skillz? Probably. They didn’t need the rhinocerous or the elephants either. Had the story been more historical and less flash it would rate more than 1.5/5, however, ’tis not to be.

King Leonardis - Call me sometime.

David Wenham - Better as a Spartan than as Faramir.

Xerces - Is that Karl from Love Actually? What happened?

Basically this move only rates 1.5 because of the biceps and triceps. It should be renamed 300 sixpacks.

Blood Diamond
8/10
See it.

1st off, what the fuck is Love Actually? 2nd, that “human crustacean” as you so elloquently put it, was a real person, highly fictionalized obviously. 3rd, Persians at the time actually used those animals in war. Finally, the movie was supposed to be fiction based on real events, not a fuckin documentary. Anybody with half a dash of any knowledge about ancient Greece could appreciate the movie, even several historians… which did.

As for Blood Diamond, I havent seen it, but you said it’s good, so im guessing it probably fucking sucks.

Female, usually when you make snide remarks their humor is contingent on having some truth in them.

However, since only half-men ex-prison inmates who you frolic with wear or buy jewelry for themselves, it’s not relevant and further demonstrates your severe case of estrogen retardation.

I really must see this movie.

Hell, the fact that female DOESN’T just makes me want to see it even more. If she doesn’t like it, it HAS to be good.

As insane as it seems, things were pretty damn insane back then anyway. Sparta was a rough place to live. If you weren’t deemed suitable for society shortly after birth, you were left on a hillside to die.
Once boys hit a certain age, they were sent off to train to be warriors, where they would get the endless shit kicked out of them day after day.

I would expect nothing less than to use blatant neck-vein screaming and chest-thumping in a film centered around that culture.
They lived for war. The men were men, and the women were pretty much men as well.

The Persians at the time were fuck-all intimidating as well. The size of the army coming into Greece was literally larger than many of the city-states. If I remember correctly, the army outnumbered the entire population of Athens (hence the need for some Spartan badassery).
The Persian immortals were probably the most intimidating of them all. Trained to fight silently, their faces totally masked.

As overly dramatized as the movie may be, seeing a wall of silent soldiers charging at another wall of screaming, taunting Spartans is a recipie for an epic battle.
It became a legend then, and it has remained so to this day.

It was an important moment in the history of Western civilization, and I’m very interested to see just how exaggerated and crazy this mantastic film must be.

Female, had you been a young woman during Nazi Germany, there is precisely no doubt in my mind that you would have been a bleating sheep precisely the way you are today. Since Feminism didn’t exist in that place and time, you’d've no doubt substituted it for some other fashionable pseudo-philosophy.

Note, by the way, that this was precisely how the Nazis took over. They convinced enough gullible sheep that the Nazi pseudo-philosophy was real.

Given your occasional ranting about having men castrated or killed based on some moronic Feminist pseudo-theory, I have no doubt that you’d've made a fine little Nazi girl.

Pages of mainly exultant 10/10 reviews on imdb (seems not all wannabee and self appointed ‘film critcs’ are mentally defective) and you eclectically cite only the reviewers whose glaring inanity you concur with:

Maybe we could use a person’s reaction to 300 as a litmus test as to whether they should be sterilized or not.

I shall expand more after I see both movies for myself when I’ve time later today.

No, seriously, I cannot believe that this thing got made and that an enormous number of people love it. There is zero humanity, zero plot, idiotic dialog, and moronic action sequences. Although, I suppose, if you enjoy muscular homo-erotic soldiers ‘fighting’ each other in leather cod pieces and dog collars, then there might be something in this film for you.

Some of the more glaring idiocies: 1)children who are brutalized do not grow up to love anyone (including their wives). 2)The spartan king was a bad king, he kills a messenger then proceeds to provoke a war with a 12 foot tall drag queen because he wont offer dirt and water as tribute. What a man. 3)Greece looks like western Canada; complete with icy snow, wolves, prairies filled with wheat, and lots of mountains. 4)The Spartans apparently only have two women for a few thousand men, kinda reminds me of the smurfs. I guess it explains the homo-erotic elements. 5)The are repulsive nihilists with a death wish, why should anyone care if they live or die. 6)How can an absolute monarchy, where the king has the power over life and death, where babies that are imperfect are killed, where women are treated as chattel be held up as a paragon of freedom, peace, justice, and liberty. (in case you didn’t know the righteous white people who love freedom and justice are battling the darkies who are against everything good).

Things like the moronic plot that makes pro wresting look like Shakespeare, the glorification of meaningless death and war, the silly unhistorical characters, the racism,etc could all be forgiven if the violence/cgi was in someway entertaining or innovative. It’s not. If you like ultra-violence and the angry ballet of John Woo-type movies DO NOT SEE THIS TURD. That’s why I went, and that part sucked.

Which leaves me contemplating why it has made so much cash and why so many people like it. And I have come to the conclusion that their is a sizable number of people who are idiots, like war, and want death and destruction. Its the people who like G.Bush, who look forward to the next war because of what they can see on CNN, who cheer silently when they see a car crash, or someone hurt. They exist and apparently they like this film. Maybe we could use a person’s reaction to 300 as a litmus test as to whether they should be sterilized or not.

I am afraid we are going to see a slough of these movies, as Hollywood’s “holy sh1t, that made money. lets make the as close to the same movie as we can legally get away with again and again so we can cash in” machine kicks in. And all of that money and effort could have gone to make movies worth seeing. You know how many killer scripts are gathering dust because the producers can get financing?

Thanks frank, thanks idiots.

I quite like this one.

One of the Best So-Stupid-Its-Funny Movies of the Year!!!, 21 March 2007

Watched as a comedy, 300 is not bad, but they should have put in more funny scenes. I won’t spoil anything, but we were all cracking up when the mutant ninjas appeared. It’s as if the film makers were so scared that all the half-naked men might give the audience the wrong idea about the Spartans, that they turned the Hetero up to 11. At first I was offended, but the homo/xenophobia is so over-the-top, it becomes absurdly funny.

Things I learned from the movie:

1) Spartans are kind of like football players except that they all shave their chests and don’t wear shirts.

2) If anyone is effeminate, nonwhite, a lesbian, or physically unattractive, they are an enemy of freedom or a slave.

3) Wearing underwear is only for evil people like hunchbacks and God-kings. The army of freedom goes commando.

4) Throwing your only weapon is a good battle strategy, as is slowing time and teleporting from one location to another. (I knew this from other funny action movies though)

5) The aesthetic style of perfume and car commercials from the early 90’s is the new cutting edge of cinematography.

6) Rhinos and elephants are easy to ship, easy to train, and easy to kill.

7) Spartan cloaks never get dirty unless you are returning from a son-avenging murderous rampage. The cloaks can also summon wind if the wearer utters a corny line.

8) “Well-written action movie” (or video game or comic book) still means laugh-out-loud cheesiness during every dramatic scene.

So, while it doesn’t quite top The Mummy Returns for unintentionally hilarious nonsensical action, it’s a close second. I predict that this movie will score well with male gamers, adolescent boys, and ultra conservative patriarchs. I know it was based on a comic, but really, it’s like an allegory for the War on Terror written by a confused twelve year old. If you’re looking for quality even on par with the mediocre Gladiator, keep looking. 5/10

P.S. Make sure you watch the credit roll for the multiple evil transsexual Asian roles (I thought transsexual Asian #3 did an excellent job).
