I am not very knowledgable on the whole graphic novel scene but I'll be damned if this doesn't look freaking awesome.

300

Is this the one about vampires in Alaska?

ummm. nope. Thermopoli (sp). Sparta. Watch the damn preview. haha

I was trying to seem like a bigshot by not having to actually look anything up.


That trailer does look pretty cool, though. The cinematography and effects at least.


And I was thinking of 30 Days Of Night.

i was just reading about that. I should start reading some of these graphic novels. Don't really know where to begin though.

I just started with whatever my library had in. I usually flip through it while I'm there and take it out if it looks interesting.

Library? What's that?

Thermopylae.

[img][650:477]http://www.wga.hu/art/d/david_j/4/414david.jpg[/img]

Leonidas, the Spartan commander and his small band of men fight to the death defending the pass of Thermopylae in order to stall the Persian advance into Greece.

Book 7, The Histories by Herodotus.

wasn't it like 300 against 20,000 or something?

This looks pretty good. And McNulty's in it!

Impressive graphics, more than extreme. Thanks for sharing.

this looked confusing.

Trailer looks awesome. If the movie is as good as the trailer, I'll be happy for Watchmen.

Yeah, why a movie based on this isn't taking its main story line from Gates of Hell, I will never know, but this movie (300) looks TERRIBLE. Overwrought and comic-gimicky, instead of (insert dead horse) relying on an awesome story.

Yeah, I know that, John, I was just saying that I think a movie about Thermopylae would be better, if THIS were the source material.

I know we disagree on this, that's fine.

Also, this will be better than Troy, no doubt.

Did you read that book? Or 300? I haven't read either but we both know that unless it was directed really well, either one would turn out like Troy or worse, like Alexander. I think Zack Snyder will do a decent job but I'm only really basing that on the one movie he's directed thus far, Dawn Of The Dead. I'd rather he do it than Joel Schumacher.

Maybe people outside comics will start realizing how awesome Frank Miller is.

I'm sold already.

i think that this is a spot on analysis.

your newfound love of the wire is awesome. now convince crack to start watching it.


and they're also making [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389722/]30 Days of Night[/utl]


Troy made me want to cry. I've never seen someone fuck up such a great story with such great actors with such zeal for the task.

i just started the 2nd season today. i can't believe he chooses to watch project: shitway over this.

hey hey now, wqtch yourself.my thing about the wire is just not wanting to start halfway through the story; at this point i know that i'm going to have to pick the dvds up eventuallly and wander through them at my leisure.

I'm at the point of trying to bribe my lady into not watching the flavor of love. my soul dies a little every time I even listen to that show. so now she watches it when I'm hung over. It's like my own private penance.
