300

no not the great film with richard egan "the 300 spartans" (one of the first films i can remember watching that brought a manly lump to my throat - even though i was too young to know what that was. the first film i remember crying at was dumbo. i still do).
no nor is it frank miller's 300, a less than special retelling of the legend of the 300 spartans, which owed a big nod to the film anyway (and stephen pressfield’s novel gates of fire, who if amazon is to be believed also wrote the legend of bagger vance - and what a fine movie it was). by the way frank miller's 300 is about to be made into a movie called, cleverly, 300. director is zack synder, who is fast becoming remake king with his dawn of the dead (thoroughly enjoyable film) and soon day of the dead.

so what is the 300 about then?

it's my 300th post.

here's to the next 300.
