LOL! I have a friend named Elizabeth who also hates the name Liz. In fact, she prefers "Eli" for a nick. If you call her Liz, she freaks out. What the hell is up with that? I have a pretty common name, as well, but I could give two shits how someone refers to me.

This has gotta be a chick thing.

yes but think of the calories you aren't burning by not using those smile/frown muscles. wait, that's a chick thing, sorry...carry on w/ your lax face...

Maybe it's a chick thing. I didn't find it very funny. She just did an asian impression and talked basic stupid girl talk

ehem... as the resident female expert on balls-to-the-wall action films I have to argue that it's not a chick thing to dislike the action movies, I think it's more of a personal preference (although I am, admittedly, a rare bird)...

However, I do have to agree with bizinichi... the dialogue was HORRIBLE!!! as was most of the acting, and several subplots (undoubtedly added to pad the length of the film and have more opportunities for Gorgo to slink about in her gravity-defying costumes).

Frankly, as a fan of Frank Miller and a student of the classics to boot, I was highly anticipating this film, and turned out to be terribly disappointed... some of the decisions that were made seem totally inexplicable to me (ie, several awkward and unnecessary sex scenes, a 9-foot tall Xerxes, and the inclusion of a lobster-lad like monster to name a few)... and don't get me wrong, I am not one of those closeted scholar types who gets pissed off at historical misrepresentations in film, I likes me a good sword-and-sandal free for all probably more than most people, and I did enjoy Frank Miller's take on Thermopylae, have for several years now. But this, by movie standards, was BAD... I actually dozed off towards the end!
