    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    oh no.

    The story of the 47 Ronin is a great one. I visited their shrine in Japan a few years ago. It's strange that it's never been made into a satisfying film.

    Keanu Reeves???????

    Nah, I can't wait. [/sarcasm]

    It's unfortunate though, because there is a good story behind the 47 Ronin.

    Why do people think 300 was fantastic but that this looks like an abomination?

    It's the same thing really, turning history into fantasy.

    I think of lot of the "love" for '300' comes from the fact that it was a comic, so it gets a certain pass, despite its obvious limitations. It was the same with 'The Crow', which at the time I hated and argued how much of a load of old bollocks it was was to fans who's main argument was how great it was because it was made from a comic story. A lot of its fans glossed over its silliness and flaws, simply because it was sourced from a particular medium.

    '300' is ok, but I persoannly found it hugely irritating to watch because of Snyder's...em..."style".

    Sorry...but Keanu is looking all Qui Gon Jinn in these clips.
