300 is a good movie.
It could have done without the sex, though. And the half-naked oracle.
I mean, the sex wasn't really necessary to move the plot or anything, and it wasn't like 300 had the strongest plot.
"Hey honey, what's wrong? Come to bed!"
"I'm going off to fight a half-million strong army tomorrow with 300 people, so forgive me if I can't sleep."
"Awww, it's okay! Let's have sex."
=_=
And the oracle? Hello? Aren't oracles supposed to be old, frail, haggard women hunching over their walking sticks, with one eye and a crooked nose, and speak in rhymes?
Instead we have a young nubile girl in a transparent gown gyrating on the floor like she's having a sexual high.
It's just unnecessary. I suspect it's just included to attract the boys. Haha!
HonSeng will probably want to watch it now, if he hadn't already. LOL!
The fight scenes were pretty good though. All the 300 Spartans have like 8 pack abs. By rights my date should be squealing in delight at a screen full of men with power abs and wearing helmet and loincloth. But somehow that didn't happen. Hmm..
Could have had more decapitating. There were only 2 I think. And the odd severed limb here and there. The blood looked fake, probably because it was CGed. In fact, everything was CGed except the horses.
Man, I wanted to see Leonidas 1v1 the abom!
Xerxes looked pretty cool though. But the way he speaks, I could catch maybe a quarter of it all. I think the gods usually speak with more clarity than that!
The arrows scene was cool. Fight in the shade, lol!
Okay, so I left alumni practice to watch 300 with someone I like.
It's not like the practice wasn't what I expected it to be. Let's see. Late comers? Check. Less than 10 people? Check. Nothing prepared? Check. People generally wanting to sit and slack instead of practice? Check and check.
Sick of it, really.
They don't like the songs I've chosen, they can go ahead and choose whatever they like. I don't care, I'm not the one singing anyway. Worse come to worse, I'll even tell them, no thanks, I don't feel like conducting you all. Let Cherie have her fun with them! Hah!
I don't think the situation will improve anytime soon. Meanwhile, I could care less if we ended up not singing for Cantab after all.
Today, the most exciting thing I did was to play Snakes on my phone from Level 1 all the way to Level 36.
Tomorrow, the most exciting thing I'll do is probably play Word Search in Sunday times, and play Snakes on my phone from Level 1 all the way to Level 36 with my toes.
