wait — what?! rhinos with nose rings???! and, um, elephants?! weird uruk-ish, uh, things(??) that are missing, err…arms?!
so basically i spent two hours in a theater confused as fuck and thoroughly unable to keep a straight face. gorgeous colors and visuals — just so historically inaccurate and utterly, utterly hollywood corntastic. because yieah, leonidas always sported a heavy scottish brogue. DUH!!
and again, as with when i watched the last samurai, i simply couldn’t help thinking about right clicking a mouse whenever someone yelled “regroup!”. or maybe thinking that the persians rolled out their Special Units when the immortals emerged (which, when the fuck did the immortals look like lizard people?!?!). someone was obviously super-high on happy-juice when they dreamed up this crazy, crazy shiznit.
