An hour lost ...

And did you all spring forward?

What is it with this Spartan extragaganza called 300? Strangely enough all those muscle bound men don't in the least incite me to go watch the movie. And as a historian who had to take Greek classes at university and go through all those inumerous texts of Plutarch and such, I really have had it with the Greeks. Troy was already hard to watch and here the eye candy could not outwin the bad acting or the historical inaccuracy but I think judging from the trailer 300 will be even harder to watch. Did they actually computer generate those abs? Photoshopped them? *shudders*

Well I'm off to bed now, tomorrow I will devote myself to timing more Gift .. I'm so hopelessly behind with my schedule here *sigh*

Oh, btw, I'm now the proud owner of my very own first cell phone. Yep, I the techno geek where computers are concerned never in my life owned a cell phone before. I always used His Hubbiness™
Oh well I caved in after His Hubbiness™ and I were supposed to meet at a certain time on Thursday and me and the dogs ended up stranded in the rain turning sleet for two hours while His Hubbiness™ couldn't reach me (he had the cell phone). oh well ...

Well, it's not stupposed to be accurate history, a fact taht is further enforced by the use of completley computerised sets. This happens int he imagination, so to speak.

Basically, if the Ancient Greeks could make movies, they'd make something like this with exagerrated heroism, a huge sense of Otherness with the enemy, heroic nudity, etc. The beefcake is just another layer of fun.

And actually, the abs were very very real.

Then it is even more scary than I thought before. It reminds of all those Roman Cine Cita sandal movies from the 50's. :)
