Title: oscar snub? 300
Post by: Don Jacob on January 22, 2008, 03:02:30 PM
visually i think 300 should have gotten something for "art direction" " costume design" " cinematography" or " visual effects" . because VISUALLLY 300 was the best picture along with transformers

Biggest snub imo is American Gangster not being nominated for best picture and Denzel for best actor..

I disagree.  The only real shot it had was in the Visual Effects category, but hard to put 300 over Pirates, Golden Compass, and Transformers.

I don't know, but it seems that the visual effects in The Golden Compass look more complex and detailed than what 300 had to do.  Spiderman 3 also could have been there.

i guess 300 did get nominated for some new category , best fight sequence or somethin'


300 as a story I THINK, could have been told better. it was too much of a "man" movie. It was one of those movies that marines and dudes that use to be in the marines watch to add to their overlly high testosterone levels, but visually i think that 300 was an awesome movie it deserved at least an art direction nod in my opinon.

"300" blows.  It's neo-con pro-war propaganda, it's historically inaccurate (as in, it doesn't properly portray the Spartans' involvement in the evils of fagdom), and it's completely dumb in every other way.  Only stupid people could possibly like it.  Anyone who thinks it's good should read this:

Right, but (1.) The comic book itself is historically inaccurate, and (2.) Even the comic book didn't have the neo-con propaganda seen in the film.

Now YOU look like a retard for contradicting Foday the GOD, and for that, you will have to lose your hands.

Right, but portraying the Spartans as ultra-masculine despite their known involvement in fagdom is a major stretch of the truth.  Homosexuals should not be held up as heroes in our culture.  Allah does not approve of that.

Right, and that's not historically accurate.  Frank Miller should burn in hell for promoting fagdom.

I probably know more about the Persian war with the Greeks then anyone on this forum and I still think it is an awesome movie. I never looked for historical accuracy, I saw good story telling and great entertainment.

Same here. I studied history in college and of course "300" is not an accurate depiction of how it really went down. But that's we call 'entertainment'...
I loved the movie.

Right, but the issue is the neo-con propaganda in the film, as well as the promotion of fagdom.

you have a valid point in the first half of your argument , but 300 dismisses any promotion of "fagdom" when lionidous tells the persion messenger:

Frank Miller is the man and most of his work is genius.


Hiis Daredevil and Batman work>>>>>>>>>>> Greater than any thing else mentioned in this thread. He writes and draws his shit; you have to read the comics to truly see his vision at its best.


watch an idiot come back with 'the daredevil movie was whack' when Frank Miller had virtually nothing to do with that shit. It's his DD comics that are brilliant.
