We went to see a sneak peek of Frank Miller's 300 last at Concordia (thanks be to
breke for the passes). I was worried I would have a problem with the violence in the film, but it was largely cartoonish, so I was able to deal with it. If you get a chance to see it on the Big Screen, you won't be disappointed.
We were talking about the film at Cafe Dolus afterwards (no spoilers here, so no worries). At the beginning of the film, there's a scene where Leonidous barks "This is Sparta!" and kicks another guy in a pit. We all agree that the kicked-guy must've rolled a 1 on his spot check to have not noticed the 30 foot diameter hole behind him.
The cast is largely unknowns, but yes, the guy who looks so familiar is Faramir from Lord of the Rings.
300 opens tonight. Go see it with the geeks. It's fun.
