A painting of me

"Cut out his eye!"

   8 January 2005, terribly early in the morning

Mezan convinced Carvill and I to watch Spartan tonight. The film is about a secret service agent trying to find the president’s daughter. Well, there is a lot more depth to the plot then that, but that depth is harder to articulate. The dialog is bizarre; it is very minimalist and Hemingway-esque. The film has some interesting twists, and some stand-out scenes. There is also plenty of violence if you are into that. The movie was quite entertaining, and worth checking out.

  1. Yeah, I thought this movie was pretty good. I enjoyed the unusual dialogue. For a pretty serious movie there are some funny moments too. “Oh, baby.”

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
