300Thursday, March 22, 2007 by Dave Winer. I played hooky today and went to see 300 at the IMAX theater in San Francisco. Not exactly my kind of movie. Pretty linear, the costumes were cool, and some of the monsters were so ugly they were funny. Not sure why people think this movie is so great. But IMAX sure is impressive. If I were as rich as Mark Cuban I'd have one installed in my house. McNulty from The Wire is in the movie. It was funny to see him speak with a British accent and pretend to be an ancient Greek. I guess you can tell I didn't get sucked into the plot. I don't think you're supposed to come away thinking the movie is funny. |
