300

Last night I was at the pre-screening show of '300' with some friends from work. Now I'm curious if anoyone in North America had the same experience I had. First off, the movie was wicked, a real hack and slasher with not much plot but a visual treat with body parts flying and slow mo choreagraphed sequences. I didn't care much for the Calvin Klein underwear advertisements, but it does kind of inspire to up my training regime so maybe I too, can look like a Spartan. There were a few funny moments in the film, deliberate or not, that had the audience laughing. If you dont want spoilers, stop reading now, however I don't think they're spoilers to the film, just of whats to come:

The scene where Leonidas is banging his Queen, they filmed it in slow motion with still shots of the Queens facials as the King is pillaging her with his Johnson. The still shots were funny enough, but when she got dogged from the rear and the camera was right up in her face, the audience went hysterical.

The scene with the Humpback being enticed at the Persian Kings lair was also a good laugh as the shots of the gimp as he was enjoying himself with the nude dancers frolicking around him drew some laughts.

The last one was towards the final battle scene as the Humpback leads the Persians towards Leonidas army, the Humpback was wearing this pirate type hat as he pointed towards the Spartan army.

Maybe its the British Sarcasm, but those scenes had the whole theater crack up with laughter, which added to the experience.
