All about the visual, baby…

First there is this. A part of me is squeeked, another part is deeply fascinated.


Then there are pictures from 300 . Including one of Dominic West as a Spartan.






Now what would Bunk say to this?








And Gerard Butler (Leonidas) and what is apparently the Persian king Xerxes. I keep thinking decadent. I wonder why...



This movie looks so beautiful and strange, I’m already halfway in love with it. It just looks so, well, mythological. But then again I can forgive so much if something is visually stunning. I know nothing of the director, but apparently the cinematographer did the pilot episode of Lost. Is this good news?

After this visual break I will return to my The Wire analysis.

Wow, we could just go on and on agreeing with each other. Word upon word. :D

A draft of the paper's here (http://applegnat.livejournal.com/80695.html) - it's flocked, though, so you will have to be signed in. It's pretty lightweight, but I enjoyed doing it. :)
