Off for a shower and (comparatively) early bed, shortly. I am tired and will write about today's excursion into town tomorrow probably.

This evening we ordered in a very tasty indian from Bayleaf and then watched 300 on DVD. I might add before going further that Furtle picked the two-DVD version up for £9 in Morrison's, which seems to be less than half of what it's priced at in most places. Someone's making a killing on these things, even allowing for Morrison's probably selling it as a loss leader.

Anyway, the film, which neither of us had seen at the movies.

Very enjoyable cheese. Don't go into your history GCSE's expecting to quote it if you wish to pass. Not camp in the slightest1, though it could easily have swung that way; any such tendency was swamped in gallons of testosterone. Very manly in a firm handshake and clasp of the shoulder sort of way. Furtle had eyes like saucers in appreciation of all those six packs on show. There was the odd boob for us blokes.

1Well, not generally. Xerxes, however, had a slight air of a butch Kenneth Williams about him.

It was rather good fun, although I'm not so sure it's not exactly camp - there were some unintentional moments of comedy though.


If you haven't read it, I would heartily recommend reading Miller's original comic.

Do not confuse cheese with camp.

I'm not. I may be *slightly* confusing it with homoeroticism but only slightly.

Either way I didn't like it. It's one of the most sterile films I've ever seen and makes some upleasant suggestions about links between evil/sexual deviance/disibility that I found unpleasant.

Must try to remember to remind you to bring up the 300 DVD when we see you next...

I'm sure we can manage something along those lines. Hot Fuzz, too, if I recall...
