Visually awesome movie!

OK... so I honestly couldn't tell you the "point" of the movie... but it kept my eyes riveted to the screen the whole 2 hours.

I remember something about a Persian threatening the Spartans... and something about some guy blackmailing the Queen... payback is a bitch, by the way... I think that may have been my favorite part of the movie!!! Anyway... there are parts of the movie I still don't understand, but I'm sure I'll see it again and I'm sure it'll sink in.

Saturday was spent recovering from drinking too much on Friday and texting Prince Charming (PC) all night. I know I wrote about this a few posts back... but I swear technology has made the whole "dating" process much easier... between being able to text or IM to set up dates... life is much easier than it was 10 years ago! His friend is threatening to send him to "TMA" (text messaging anonymous)... hold on... lemme go count really quick... is 165 messages in excess :eyeroll: (oh yea... i don't have simleys!)

Anyway... yesterday was a beautiful day... sunny and warm, even in San Francisco... which is rare... the drive across the bridge was gorgeous... we parked about a block away from the Metreon and I took PC up to the park/grassy area when we were walking... we went inside the mall and within minutes decided we'd rather be outside... so we walked across the way to a bar with a courtyard... had dinner and a few cocktails... and then went for a walk around the "neighborhood"... went to stand in line about an hour before the movie... which seemed silly since we'd already bought the tickets, but PC got us soda and we just stood and talked some more. I love this part of dating... when you get to learn new things every time you hang out with someone.

The theater holds 600 people... we were probably in the first 100... so we got great seats, right dead center, close to the top... and I can't say for sure if the IMAX screen is much different than a normal screen... but like I said... visually... this movie is amazing... and even if it's not historically accurate, there were parts of it that did move me... I highly recommend it... and if you can take a handsome, sweet guy to hold hands with the entire time... even better.
