Anne the Spartan Movie Reviewer

Saw the movie 300 last night.

It was kind of hard to keep up with the plot, as the song “It’s raining men” kept running through my head. Some clever YouTube person has already beat me to the punch with 53 seconds of nipples and boy toy shots here.

They must have invented a machine for this film that spray paints six-pack abs on the actors. And if that machine goes commercial, I know what I’m going to be for next Halloween: Red cape, Uggs and bikini briefs (with a well placed Chiquita Banana)? Hello, Anne the Spartan!

OK, I don’t think I’m giving out any spoilers when I ask, did anyone else feel the weird and intriguing mish-mash of underlying ambivalence to homosexuality?

You know, with all the love for the half naked Spartans and all the Freudian piercing (with the spears and the double piercing of bodies and the facial piercing and the guys wearing the matching costumes and moving in unison like a big war mongering dance troupe and I could just go on all day about all the overt homosexual overtures) and yet all the hatred for the RuPaul Xerxes fellow. Ditto vibe on deformity being lumped together with flamboyant gay attitudes.

And what up with the ‘kneel before me’ and ‘since you asked me to kneel before you, I really have to kill you now’ talk? Enough kneeling commentary! I get it! Blow Jobs!

Or I dunno. *Cough* Maybe it was just me?

    It’s so funny that the ad on the side bar is for Real Jock, a gay fitness community.

    I’ve seen 300 twice now. I’ve read the graphoic novel, so I can tell you that a lot of extra story was added to the basic real historical story. I loved it. I agree about the sprayed on abs..but oh, they did look good.

    I had no desire to see that movie until this very moment.

    You should be a publicist.

    OK, the expression on that bearded guy’s face in the picture — I don’t know what the context was in the movie but in the context of this post, it’s priceless.

    I didn’t see it, but the YouTube video was great. How much body oil do you think they used to make so many shiny, shiny chests?

    I can’t help but say “men in undies” throughout the movies. I mean, the women had more clothes on than the men!! I think my hubbie was ready for me to paint on some abs for him after the movie, after rubbing some tanning lotion all over his Pillsbury dough boy body. Yup! That’s my manly man!
