"This Is Sparta!" - 300

So, my best friend joined the Navy in 2006. Well, he had to go to Seattle in March in order to report for duty. Unfortunately, Seattle isn't like New York, so he needed a car. Fortunately, I like driving, so, we drove to Seattle and had a great time!

In an effort to set a goal for the drive, we revolved our arrival in Seattle to our want to see 300. The film adaptation of a graphic (that's an understatement) novel by Frank Miller, made famous by the screen adaptation of Sin City.

The movie shot in a similar production as Sin City with the actors involved in a constant green screen and lots of CGI.

The basic plot of the film is actually based on a true story of King Leonidas' Spartans battling Xerxes Persians in an attempt to fend off the power hungry and, according to the film, effeminate Persians. The Battle of Thermopylae happened in 480 BC and the Spartans lost (sorry, if you didn't know the outcome, read a history book).

The movie is definitely worth at least one watch, I promptly bought it the day it went out.

Sorry I'm not too talkative, and Eureka is on now too. See ya.
