And then two days later, all hell breaks loose as DST kicks in and computers everywhere choke. Midrange and mainframe applications that are using unpatched java start erroring out, people miss flights, meetings are missed, pandemonium ensues..

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave.
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

but only for two weeks until it returns to normal...

that's okay cause I'll have my cash and just watched the only movie I'll probably care to see this year. Life is good.

I see it tomorrow.

why does your company pay you in Spartans?
what is the ratio of dollars to Spartans for your bonus?

you stated you get 300 Spartans , so we just need the ratio to figure out your $ bonus

Because this is Sparta, duh.

Not sure what the ratio is, in the end it better be mid-20s.

haha, that day is awesome

My bonus is on March 15th. Should be about 14% of my annual salary.

I can't help but think that movie is gonna suck. I like big-ass war movies, The visuals look pretty sweet....but I sense really bad editing and melodrama assaulting my taste..

I'm thinking the filmmakers might have been too concerned wtih style to worry about the "script issue." Haven't seen it, but who knows....

I predict God of War II will be far more enjoyable

It looks cool as hell and everyone I've talked to likes it. The eye candy should be most gratifying at least even if the script sucks.

yeah...I just can't appreciate a flick if the script is dogsh1t. eye candy is never enough to cover poor writing (again, I can't say that the movie will suck, just that it's been advertised that it will ) Afterwards, I imagine my response would be: "cool...that was sweet..uh, why the hell do I care?"

Think: Star Wars episode 1, 2, 3...anything with Vin Diesel in it...etc.

I liked Sin City. It wasn't the greatest, but the overboard script matched the excessive style. I just hope this can do the same. I'll rent it....

 

[KLin]

I thought the same thing as FoBoT. WTF is a "debut"?

what worries me is that the entire trailer is done in slow-motion

An old friend of mine works at WB in post-editing and has seen it evolve. She's been excited about it since they first got their hands on it. She said the key is understanding that it's a movie about the graphic novel, not about the historic event. Of course, she's a comic/graphic novel nut so she's biased.

March 9th is my bonus day as well. We're getting 120% this year!

Wait. What? You're getting a bonus of 120% of your annual salary? I've got the wrong job.


:beer: on you.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I would probably get 300 head-butts if I asked for a 120% bonus.

 

[Kev]

hahah, i knew this thread would be about 300. I watch that trailer 3 times a week.
