I had to do it. I love 300. and Gerard Butler. I also think it's funny that it was set in a world of painted-on six packs. Ever since this movie, whenever someone asks, "what is this?" or questions something along those lines-- I have the insane urge to kick someone down a black hole and yell
THIS
IS
SPARTAAAAH.
But I've resigned to only do it in my head.

Best. Sentence. Ever. I just thought that choosing 300 in the first place was incredibly awesome. Also, the description "in the dead of night" got that one song from Anastasia in my head. "In the dark of the night, evil will find you (ooh aah ooh!)"
ReplyDeleteOh man. . . Now I'm gonna walk around yelling "THIS IS SPARTAH!" anytime anyone says "what is this?"
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. :P
This indeed IS SPARTAAAAA. It reminds me of that one MLIA entry:

I like your use of the word 'electrifying, btw. Very fitting.
