"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

300 is a stylized film that fails. I find it unwatchable and the directors style is irratating.
I find its style captivating and unique so it doesn't fail at all. The film is not about lovable characters, but I cared for them, not as a series of nice and warm individuals but as a group of warriors that had to face the impossible. The emotion lies in the artistic way its told. If you are blind to the visual poetry and the artistic impression of 300 or if all you see is a bunch of men with six-pack stomachs, then this movie is simply not for you.

I've tried to give it a chance a pair of times to understand its appeal. But I still don't get it. I see a bunch of guys running around in a studio. It doesn't transport me anywhere, it doesn't make me believe. But I find a bit hard to pin down exactly what I don't like in its style, just as much as I find it hard to see what others see in it.

Too bad, Chaac. I didn't see a studio. I saw strange, beautiful, otherworldly environments and amazing compositions and cinematography. I was gratified in a way all the others of the genre (let's call them sword-and-sandal movies) didn't. Purely looking at it from a visual point of view, 300 to me is a work of cinematic art, just like Alien or 2001. I can enjoy them on a complete different level, a level some would call 'style over content', but in these cases I believe the emotion and other rewards lie mainly in the style.

Isn't that the one with the big W? I always loved the bald guy with the glasses - he's in a lot of 60's movies and his face is so wonderfully dishonest i get a laugh just from looking at it.

I'm on a classic westerns kick thanks to some great WalMart deals. Picked up a 3-disc set of The Searchers, The Wild Bunch, and How the West Was Won for 15 bucks. Watched the first two and they both look great. I also picked up The Magnificent Seven/Return of the Magnificent Seven for 15 bucks. Five blu ray westerns for 30 dollars total!

I threw it in the trolley at our local Morrisons supermarket. £29.99.
I take it the Amazon shipping is prohibitively expensive? I'm curious because I use Amazon A LOT. I'll get it for you if you want.

With many of the big ones already out of the way, my most-wanted list comes down to these for me, which are (as of yet) totally unconfirmed:
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit
- Return to Oz
- Titanic (most likely coming soon)
- Catch Me If You Can
- Always
- Star Wars Trilogy original versions (always possible since they made it onto DVD in some form)

It's more expensive when you order in the US, I think. £29.99 is cheaper than amazon UK (£32.00) or play.com (£34.99) but play.com does free shipping. When you add postal costs to the price of Morrisons, it will probably approximate the price of play.com. In the end, I'm hoping that the price will be cheaper when it's available here.

The Searchers looks terrific and the cinematography is great, why on earth do all the directors today reject real color. This film looks beautiful.

I feel modern cinematography frequently has either a cold blueish tinted desaturated look, desaturated colors, an intensely warm orangey tint and/or an overexposed look. Technicolor marvels like The Searchers are not trendy.

Then when Tin Tin Three is directed by SS we will go see it.
