300: the secret to blockbuster success

It’s really very simple. I’ve met a number of straight men who are mystified that women would ever want to watch such a militaristic bloodbath of a movie, even suggest it for a date movie, but they’re missing a key ingredient for proper appreciation of everything this cinematic comic book has to offer:

Estrogen.

  1. Hallelulia! I’m dying to see it at the IMAX, but it’s a two hour bus ride away in the rain and no buses back that late at night. Ugh. Why did anyone think suburbs were a good idea? Don’t they know everything should be within walking distance of my house?

  2. Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but I just stumbled upon your site completely randomly. I saw your name in Lily Tomlin thread on defamer and it caught my eye because you use the Total Information Awareness office logo. Christ, I use that as my avatar on whatever I can and I thought I was the only one…

    Figured I had to share that. I haven’t even read through really any of your site, but anyone who uses that image has to rock.

  3. Thanks!

    Holy crap, talk about a small world! That is a case of Great Minds Think Alike if ever I heard it; nobody I have ever encountered knows what that avatar is, although they all find it quite creepy, which it is.

    But for god’s sake, don’t use it as an avatar on Gawker media blogs or Chris Mohney will think you’re me and cut your heart out. You don’t want my enemies list!

  4. Gads. I should go see that film…

    Sort of reminds me of the pervy Mini Cooper billboard ad that reads: “The paint is still wet. Are you?”

    :-)

  5. Oh yeah, fuck yeah, oh yes yes yes.

    I think feminism has whipped a lot men into quivering pussified jello and we as women are collectively longing for some brawn.

  6. Yeah. Donald Sutherland was a far better role model, although Alda was starting to evolve into an acceptable Snidely Whiplash near the end of ‘The West Wing.’

    Now excuse me while I slap Nancy Pelosi around and explain to her the parliamentary subtleties of why there’s a Royal Navy bu only a British Army . . . .

  7. Yeah, but Donald Sutherland is about as sexy as the Man from Glad and yes, I DID see Cassanova.

    If you slap Nancy Pelosi she’ll probably rip off your arm. Or you’ll cut it on the edge of her shoulder pad.
