Is it really necessary to decide which one is better? careful...dangerously close to apples and oranges... still need to hear the redman record but this prodigy is way better than the leak i had posted. btw anyone who's on emusic fair warning - t…

seriously though, on that article. for real - they had a two-week test when some germans went on vacation and thats supposed to mean that kids in the states weren't like "i'll just download this later"? Here's an article for you: By ETHAN SMIT…

she was being corny Elise and I talk through PM's a bit DO YOU KNOW GLENN? lol

he's on some forest-for-the-trees shit. the answer is no, but when people say birth of a nation is racist they're not saying they want the klan as depicted in the film to pretend to be for civil rights either.

Actually, I think the Ewoks were supposed to represent the North Vietnamese. In any case, why are people staking positions on "300" in an either/or fashion? Just because one doesn't read the film as polemic celebrating fascism doesn't mean it's en…

where was all this anger when lord of the rings came out? you could say tolken did the same shit as miller if not worse not really. although there were troublesome racial aspects to that movie, sure, it wasn't a fascist spectacle.

god damn. the movie was one big battle against monsters! how can you possibly twist that into something political? Because the monsters were also supposed to represent Afro-Asians! for one thing who? the immortals? they all had masks on! the big g…

Look, you want to find symbolism in 300 it is not good for either side. You have the Spartans = The West Persians = The East The Spartans/West are fighting for freedom, which is based upon a cruel and militaristic society that fetishizes violence…

Deej, you seem like you have something to prove here. Will you just come out and say it? What is your goal in proving this film as fascist, anyhow? Is there some sort of horrible social implication? ?? I have no goal. Any more than people who said …

Some of what Frank Miller said at San Francisco???s WonderCon comic book convention in 2006 bears repeating, as it puts the movie 300 in context. Miller revealed that his upcoming graphic novel, Holy Terror, Batman!, will feature the "Caped Crusader…

As a matter of fact, the whole camp-appeal is largely based on the film's fascist aesthetic, its focus on man's physical perfection. Um, no. The campiness of the film is a result of it being badly written, badly acted, and excessive in every way.…

3. I don't know if they were consciously aware of it nor is it relevent; it is a film that argues vehemently in favor of fascism and feeling over freedom and thought, no matter how much they pretend to be defending the latter. This has a shuddering…

If you're going to link certain characteristics to a certain society, it would probably be important to say why they have these characteristics, don't you think? And the point of them having fascist tendencies (and I'm fairly sure you stole that id…

What is the Persian Empire, then, democratic? what does what the persian empire is have to do with anything?

fascism was, like, totally cool

yeah, i dont see much political subtext in a movie thats about a massive battle. I guess you could really work hard and put one to it, but thats pretty pointless. I disagree totally; i mean it almost seems like this film is intent on making some k…

IT'S A FUCKING COMIC BOOK MOVIE. And? I don't see how this precludes ppl from taking it seriously. Maybe not. But there's enough serious stuff out there to take seriously, so I choose to view my comic book movies like I'd view......a comic book. …

When you look for subtext in 300, you son yourself (and you probably haven't watched it). It's a silly, gory live-action cartoon (and only just live-action). It's just that simple. nah its really not this movie is objectionable in any number of wa…

classic can't imagine it w/out turrentine!

they're too zzz easy listening for me usually but I do like the streets' i dont know why you cut off the rest of what i posted but have you actually heard the royksopp remix of that streets song? Great straight up house track

Dolo, have you served or do you have family who has served? cos, without taking a position one way or another here, I must say this should never be a prerequisite to espousing an opinion on foreign policy. that said, what should be prerequisites …

There is but one interesting thing to note about this otherwise vapid thread. That being how the typical 'troop supporting' leftist will only acknowledge the existence of troops when theyve been killed, injured or engaged in improper conduct. Peop…

Has anybody here actually heard anything other than "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mims? He had a song about 4 years ago called "I Did You Wrong" that had a very Kanye-esque (read: chipmunks) beat. It wasn't bad. cosign. i actually played it out and got…

Has anybody here actually heard anything other than "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mims? i doubt it why does it matter? I dont think anyone defending mims is acting like he's a fucking rap-auteur for mr. rillz: do none of you party?

i like the song. fuck lyrics. the song goes. Thank you. And for you all dudes cryin' about how this song's lyrics are what's wrong with hip-hop Well, it's certainly an example of just how far hip-hop has fallen. I'm certainly not one to proclaim …
