Seconding [livejournal.com profile] pentapus's rec for the trailer to 300, here.

Yeah. That's absolutely *gorgeous*. I really can't say much more than, having watched it three times and linked it to anyone foolish enough to be talking ot me right now, I really just want to keep watching again.

Awesome.

I can't. stop. watching. And when I get bored with the people, I stare at the SKY.

sorry, can I use your journal for squee?

Oh, and the oracle. She's in there for an eyeblink, but I mean, watch it... a few... times and I am starting to want the special oracle dancing trailer.

I hae watched it *TOO MNAY TIMES*. And pimped it out to coworkers.

Oh. So pretty. Now only if my my computer would load the last 30 seconds, my life would be complete.

*crosses fingers for you*

From: [identity profile] an-kayoh.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 02:51 pm (UTC)
Just got it working. And of course, every time I had to rewatch it to get it to load...so worth it. Every time the music surges and those horses come up over the ridge...and when they all pull down their shields in unison...and the lady and the cloth...and the "Then we will fight in the shade" dude...*babbles endlessly*

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 04:06 pm (UTC)
YES YES YES THEN WE WILL FIGHT IN THE SHADE.

God, the abdonimals on these guys. And the legs! And the leather warrier undies! *HAPPY* God, why was I not born in Sparta?

From: [identity profile] an-kayoh.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 06:46 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I mean, tough existence, constant warfare and so on...but, man were there compensations...

I'd still rather they'd have gone with Gates of Fire (http://www.amazon.com/Gates-Fire-Novel-Battle-Thermopylae/dp/0553580531/sr=8-1/qid=1160710010/) (which the LC is so reading because apparently marine officers make their men read it), but I can't help but being a little excited for this.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 03:39 am (UTC)
Really?

Hmm. It's good? *marks on wishlist*

From: [identity profile] miss-porcupine.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 03:46 am (UTC)
It's quite good, but it's... well, it's a manly kind of book. It's about honor and battle and love of country and the will to fight and other concepts that are somewhat out of fashion these days. It is, after all, the story of 300 guys (and their several hundred buddies) who are resolved to die in combat. And the women who are willing to support them in this endeavor, but mostly about the men.

Now *that* will grow hair on your chest.

Mmmmpretty men in leather underwear.

Life? Good.

I knew I'd heard the music before - It's Nine Inch Nails, "Just Like You Imagined" from The Fragile album.

Looks like fun and eyecandy, with lots of fantasy mixed in.

From: [identity profile] ileliberte.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 04:54 am (UTC)
OH MY GOD. I love trailers so much. SO Much. And the music. And the flowy scarfy things, and the sky, the SKY!

From: [identity profile] pentapus.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 05:08 am (UTC)
I KNOW.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 05:32 am (UTC)
THEN WE WILL FIGHT IN THE SHADE.

Oh God. Why was I not born in a time where men fought in their undies? WHY GOD WHY?

From: [identity profile] pollitt.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 05:36 am (UTC)
I have watched the trailer probably more times than is healthy. It actually launched a conversation which lasted nigh on an hour with some friends, because one friend had never heard the story of Thermoplyae. Poor girl now knows more than she ever cared to. heh.

From: [identity profile] mystisblom.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 05:51 am (UTC)
Finally someone else who loved it as much as I did. When I stumbled over it two weeks ago I was stunned by it's beauty.
I never thought about reccing it though.
I'll do it later so many more people get the chance to love it as much as wee do.
*Hears 'this is Sparttaaa'*

My only problem with 300 is that it is written by :shudder: Frank WHORESWHORESWHORES Miller. (this man's crimes against our gender are far too many to mention, but just ask any female comics reader - they start spitting nails and produce chainsaws) But yes, fucking gorgeous.

From: [identity profile] thecomfychair.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-13 12:35 pm (UTC)
Oh wow. If the movie lives up to the trailer, I'm first in line.
aurora: (Nrrrrrrrggggggggh)

From: [personal profile] aurora Date: 2006-10-13 04:29 pm (UTC)
GUH I KNOW!

It's the same style as Sin City and I spent that entire movie gaping at the screen in wonder. Also, semi-nakes men are always a good thing.

From: [identity profile] kho.livejournal.com Date: 2006-10-18 03:07 am (UTC)
Holy shit. That is maybe the most gorgeous trailer I've seen in about a freakin' YEAR. Frank Miller... man. Awesome. Thanks for the redirect!
