Watching '300'...

[elisi]

It's... extra ordinarily awful. Everything is sepia tinted and stylised (although very pretty) and the script makes everyone sound like fratboys. Plus the accents are *really* weird - I don't believe anyone for a second. It's like... watching a really OTT & camp & ridiculous send-up of LotR. (The amount of guy-liner is seriously impressive!) Although reading history_spork's post whilst watching is nicely entertaining.

Also, I now need to re-watch Vogue. :)

I hereby take this opportunity to point you to Tet Zoo, one of my favorite science blogs, in which a real live zoologist (emphasis on pterosaurs and certain kinds of dinosaurs) occasionally geeks out about cryptozoology, and also, it so happens, about war rhinos. (I have actually never seen 300, but I know it has war rhinos in it!)

Oooooh thank you! And I love the fact that one of the only sources of war rhinos is an unverifiable wiki entry. I'll bet anything that that's where the film makers/comic book writer got the idea. ;)
