Mmmmmm. I was fortunate enough to catch a preview screening of this tonight at the local university(East Carolina, if anyone was wondering). Words fail to describe it. When you get a chance, as soon as possible, go see it. It's worth it. Oh man. My throat is sore from shouting quotes from the movie on the way home. Haven't had that happen in an awful long time.

Anyone else as lucky as me?

"This is madness!" "Madness?  This is SPARTA!"

Joining Ford with his thoughts, as in what the heck are you talking about?
Now I am a bit more curious about the gif above though...

[Rictor]

I'm seeing it Saturday with one Greek friend and one Persian friend. And I'm not trying to funny or sarcastic, that is actually who I'm seeing it with. My guess is that the grudge which will ensue will be of Biblical proportions.

The movie of - oh bugger, I forget his name, guy who did the Sin City cartoons - 's cartoon of the battle of Thermopylae, of the same name (300 - 300 spartans against the Persian army).

300 is based upon the graphic novels of one Frank Miller. From what i've heard, they stuck pretty close to a lot of the visuals in the comic, so expect surreal, ultra-stylised action and all kinds of wacky fun.

Would you believe me if I said that was the only time I'd forgotten Frank Millers' name in, ooh, years?

[Mefustae]

Not really, no.

Fool.  And thus your conversation to the dark side will be complete!

I really wish the nearest IMAX screening wasn't in Chicago. 

That said, I'll probably be going to see it next Friday.  It shall be epic.

You lucky bastard!!
I don't know when they will be showing the movie in Sweden. From the first time i saw the trailer I wanted to see the movie. Does anybody know when they will be showing it cinemas here in Europe?

[Fineus]

Firstly, that's very funny. Secondly - why does it play so slowly when I save it to my computer and open it normally - but it plays at a decent speed when I view it on a webpage in Firefox?

[Ford Prefect]

I don't know, but I've noticed the exact same thing.

[Thor]

advantage to living in the T-dot.  I have a choice of a few Imaxs not so far, but I shall see it at the Paramount (i refuse, REFUSE, to call it Scotiabank Theatre  ) which is just a relatively short walk away.

i love that gif...its awesome...

"this is red sauce!" "Red sauce? This is SPARTA!" boot...

[Rictor]

What exactly is IMAX? I know it's not full 3-D, but something better than par...but I've been to one.

It's called the Scotiabank Theatre? You mean the one on Richmond and John?

It's a great theatre, I saw a bunch of movies there (Children of Men, V for Vendetta)

[redsniper]

IMAX is just a bigger clearer picture, AFAIK. It's filmed on it's own special film so a normal movie doesn't benefit any from being played at an IMAX theater, again AFAIK.

[Tyrian]

IMAXes also have better sound systems.  I think the one near my house has something like 8000 watts of power in the speakers...
