alright. so 300 was released and everyone flocked to watch it. and then after watching it, everyone got really inspired by Leonidas and started having quotes from the movie up on their msn nicks.

same thing happened when Troy and Alexander premiered. both aforementioned shows sucked big time though.

you know how you watch those historical warfare flicks and get that heavy surging feeling in your chest. makes you wanna stand up and die for Singapore. yeah

cannot stand it when people go on and on , rambling facts and names from the movie and even try to correct you and then appear shell-shocked when you tell them it was based on an actual event.

you know those history idiots who only go read up on that particular conflict or battle when someone makes a blockbuster on it.

----------

i particularly liked 300 because:

1) it is 90% historically correct. every detail in the movie happened back in 480BC at the Battle of Thermopylae. and it was true to the comic book as well.

2) Gerard Butler put in a stellar performance in the role of King Leonidas. couldn't recognise him from Phantom of the Opera(2004)

3) the Immortals were aptly played out. good,solid soldiers, but nevertheless still human.

4) the immense size and scale of the invading Persian army was accurately depicted. from the Sparabaras to the Persian Companions. didn't like the rhinos though. what the heck?

5) Lena Headey was smokin' hot as Queen Gorgo. MILF MILF MILF.

was at CWP today for some light shopping here and there. the cash registers of John Little were where the bulk of my money ended up in.

KFC for dinner and i saw Yueyin & friends. some of them look really familiar. like I've seen them somewhere before. in Genevieve's friendster pictures or what i think.

and KFC was packed. expected that. i got rather incensed and yet amused at the same time because there was this fella reserving a 4 man table with a GIORDANO PLASTIC BAG WITH A PINK TOP INSIDE. and i let my mouth slip again by commenting loudly to the guys:

" WAW MAN. YOU CAN ACTUALLY RESERVE A TABLE WITH A PLASTIC BAG MAN. I'M REALLY AMAZED.FIRST IT WAS A PACKET OF TISSUE, THEN PLASTIC BAG. WHAT NEXT? TAMPONS OR CONDOMS?"

didn't realize that the fella was actually standing right behind me somewhere near the queue counters. HAHAHA. to be honest, couldn't be bothered really, I told Gaara.

you know. don't take any shit and give em' back double.

we ended up taking the table right next to the guy. and his minah girlfriend arrived. chinese fella too. multi-racial. sure reminded me of a good friend back in polytechnic.

the chicken at KFC woodlands not nice though. too much oil. can literally bite into a chunk of gelatinous-like oil.
