This is gonna be my new all-time fav. Great find Kenzan. Swordplay and naked women. Yeeeaah.

[Vagtlaldo]

nice Ti..... eerrr great action scene that caught me most was his fight against that wolf, you can really feel the spirit of the fight there, none of that star wars "lets hit each other's weapons for a while" stuff. I'm gonna enjoy this movie, without being bothered by highly unrealistic swordfights
that's what kendo did for me. it ruined my ability to enjoy lightsaber fights There's just not a feeling of fight I get from that, but from what I can see in this trailer, this movie delivers! thank you for letting me know about this movie

SooooooooOoOO..
Who saw this movie over the weekend?
I have not seen it yet..but as a History buff I think it's safe to say that I know how it sort of ends..
How did it fare? Was it worth the hype?

[lrtoinbert]

Kenzan, you better see this movie

To smellslikebogu, IMO star wars is the only one that can get away with that hitting each others weapon thing. In the books they explain when two force users are dueling, they are constantly using the force to read each others minds. So thats their excuse. I still havent heard a good excuse as to why the new trilogy had to suck so hard.

Because George lucas is a twit. All he had to do was hire a good director, because he definitly isn't one.

Well to be fair to the director, he had some right shitty scripts to work with...

*waits for someone to point out that the director and scriptwriter were one and the same*

I was so heart-broken after waiting for 17 years (!) for the prequels that my wife and I have worked up our own version of the prequels that is --get this-- consistent with the original trilogy. I eventually want to make a set of picture books and mp3s with sound effects and voice overs to go with them, like the old read-along books for Jedi that I got at the fast food joint when I was a kid. Complete with the "when you hear R2 *beepbeepboop* turn the page" and everything.

My kids deserve a better Star Wars than those crap movies.

Wait, what was this thread about again?

[mv37afnr]

Before this thread gets back to its original subject, i'd like to say that i envy the kids of today because they didn't have high expectations before seing those so called prequels which were more of a special effect show and advertisement for the people that were involved in making them.

[rengerts]

Off to see it tonight with KW member Lounge. Will report back later.

[MegaJIT]

300 looks like it'll be dumber than a football bat. Educational though. Prior to seeing this clip I was unaware of the elite mutant/cyberpunk/hobgoblin elements in Persia's imperial army ca. 480 BC.

I'm guessing it'll be visually interesting (like Sin City) and f*%#ing horrible in every other conceivable way (like Sin City).

No matter. I'll still totally go to see it.

[jessyhalm]

Will report back later.

Will report back next week. Bloody film ain't on yet - Lounge is a dead man.

The movie is based on a comic book.

[zdlupikkkdi]

So was "History of Violence." I don't remember there being any mutants in that.

[bobibnoxx]

Yeah, and so was X-Men, and there weren't... oh, hang on...

[ignonsoli]

heh heh. touche.

Jessica Alba.

~all hot and bothered.

.....and that Katana-toting-Shuriken-flinging-chick.

There need be no other reason to see that movie.
which, all things considered, are pretty damn good reasons.

It's a shame I saw this thread because I have a world of complaints about the new Star Wars prequels.
But first, about hitting the swords....they're lightsabers. You can't duel like kendo because while you go for the head or wrists, you can lose your legs or torso. And the 'blade' is lethal 360 degrees. So in that sense i can understand why.
What I don't understand is why Lucas is still alive. I think he's senile or something because there's no other way of explaining how he came up with the idea of prequels. I dont think the issue was with directing despite how bad it was. The whole conception of the prequels was just idiotic with the kid Darth Vader, Jar Jar Binks, the Jedi that never was mentioned in the original, Christian Haydensen, etc. Not to mention bad acting from just about all the actors/actresses involved. And supposedly Episode 3 was to explain how imperial and rebel technology came to be but there was more obscurity.
List can go on but I will stop here.

[craditc]

Just come back from watching '300'.

Damn it was good. Not 'Academy Award good', but 'jolly good fun in a blood, guts and nekkid wimmin' sort of way.

Visually pretty damn good, awesome fight scenes and the Persian harem girls rocked. How come the bad guys get the sexy women and the Spartan women are just gobby?

[6Rexw51X]

Ah, I think I've seen this one in the cinema. Certainly gonna have to see.
