Come Down at the Movies: Film- 300 (This event is open to all)
In the tradition of SCARY MOVIE and NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE, this tongue-in-cheek spoof incorporates every recognizable gay stereotype in the book. With a narrative modeled after AMERICAN PIE, the film follows four teen homosexual buddies in their attempts to lose their virginity before... By a near unanimous vote the Peer Educators picked this film- be warned it is super bloody. Here is part of a review from the New Yorker. “When the Spartans, pumped like linebackers leaving the weight room, go out to fight, they wear nothing but leather codpieces and red capes; they die clutching one another’s hands. The Persians king, Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), an epicene seven-footer with a shaved head and what looks like a gold-lamé thong, lounges on cushions in his court, surrounded by aroused lesbians intertwined and writhing like snakes in a basket. He commands an army of robed and turbaned slaves who enthusiastically hurl themselves onto Spartan spears. “300,” is perhaps the nuttiest film ever to become an enormous box-office hit. Based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, the movie is a porno-military curiosity—a muscle-magazine fantasy crossed with a video game and an Army recruiting film. Sound good? Come on out!
When: Sunday August 17th at 6pm Where: 995 Market St. 2nd fl.
