the secret to Sparta’s success

Pride, baby, Pride (in the name of love)! via Defamer.

At first I thought so straight
I was horrified
Kept thinking I could never love
that way, or flaunt my Pride
But I spent so many fights
thinking how Persia done us wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get it on
You got my back
You share my space
I just woke up to find you dead
and Persians all over the place
I should have killed that damn Xerxes
I would have had him on his knees
If I had thought for just one second
he’d be robbing me of thee!

Gloria Gaynor lyrics over the hjump.

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.

stolen from Defamer, who also have a marvelous little Cute Overload meets 300 mashup.

300, the game! Spartans vs Persians, old-skool!

300

So the movie 300 is a jingoistic, bombastic, cartoonish, homoerotic two-hour military recruiting video. I mean, they say that as if it’s bad!

Some demented and nostalgic genius has taken this simpleminded movie and given it perhaps the ultimate Generation X accolade; he’s made a Nintendo Entertainment System game out of it.

The reviewers should have just watched this instead of wasting ten bucks and two hours of their time. As for me, I could watch and watch…pot, Pearl Jam, and Doritos optional.

cowboy vs ninja: the victory is clear

Yep. I’ll be by to pick up my winnings from all you cowboy-favoring losers out there.

It seems, from a casual surf around YouTube, that they do these kinds of trials all the time.

And the gun always loses.

The ninjas advance to the second round, where they will face this year’s dark horse: Spartans. Place your bets with the tellers now, ladies and gentlemen.
