 It's just so short! But the timing is so great with the music. Hmm..

Hey, G! 
Of course, I'm going to be thinking of that through the whole movie tonight ...  Well, maybe not the whole movie  .

Trust me, it'll never cross your mind...ok, maybe the part when they push the surplus Persians over the cliff. Have fun and let us know how you like it

That's exactly right - That was the only time I did think of it. well, that and all those "Hoo!"s
THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE:
I liked it a lot. Naked men aside, the story line never sagged, the way it was shot kept my interest and I liked the comic-book touches like close ups and still frames.
There were only one or two cliche moments and the gore didn't bother me - once they set the bar and I knew where it was that was ok, it wasn't there for fun just part of the heightened telling of the story. Bloodiest part - the credits!!
Thought David Wenham overplayed it, and Gerard Butler must have needed an enormous supply of throat losenges.
But you know what I really loved? The fighting. It was like a live-action text book: Chapter headings:Proper use of a Phalanx
The Shield as Weapon
Spear and Javelin
and so forth. I wish I had a DVD just to watch that first confrontation again, more slowly. It was all phenominally instructive!

You know what it made me thing, Nance, it made me think that this would be an awesome way of doing a series of movies based on the Sil in this very artistic, cgi sort of way. It would make it less of an overwhelming task financially, that's for sure. And if they can torture enough actors into doing the boot camp thing, andmake them shave the damn scruff, they'd have some darn fine looking elves, Dunedain, Valar, etc. Like, I can totally see them doing Manwe like they did Xerxes, sans the tackle box look, of course, but all large and ovewhelming and stuff.
But yeah, 300, Hooooo!

 Yeessss.....
**Editor's note: Due to the content of the previous post, vlad's mind has finally left this reality behind and gone to the happy place with the elves. She'll be back later, probably when they kick her out for trying to wire the Hill of Himring for basic cable.

I taught you this one - it's called a posing pouch, remember?
Anyway, getting back to seriousness, I haven't seen more than a few making-of programmes and trailers for 300 as yet, but it'd be interesting to see the Silm done in that manner. Maybe not the same style as 300 but something kind of designed for the Silm, if that makes sense. Feanoreans...hmn. Or indeed, just call it the History of Middle-earth, make it a series, and get some hawt pre-fall Nazgul in there as well, or is that just me?

Yes sensei, and thank you for that lesson, hehe. One must know proper terms when pointing out a man's posing pouch.
I just think it could be done, should be done, must be done somehow. I'm so desperate for some grown up fantasy and 300 sort of fit the bill...cept it's history too, kinda...sorta...not really, lol

Nopes *looks around for her casting wishlist of Silm characters*
The thing is... I think with the Children of Húrin coming out soon, I think only parts of the Silm will be interesting for hollywood directors and script writers. If the Hobbit makes it to the screen, I can imagine that a movie about the Children of Húrin or Beren and Luthien would be appealing. Although with Beren & Luthien there might be a risk that they completely leave out the Oath of Feanor & all that jazz. I am just concerned that characters like Celegorm and Curufin will face the same fate as what they did with Glorfindel or Imrahil in the movies: getting a complete different name and such.
