Oh Gaybo, you have missed out on like so much good stuff. Nothing hip about it. If you aren't up to date on New Wave you are missing like 25% of 60s to modern cinema's influence.
I am watching 300. Oddly enough, the noise effect they use to make the film look gritty and not computery doesn't translate so hot, so the movie really doesn't look great compared to any of the previous ones I have watched to day. You'd think it would be the best, but those digital noise filters are tricky. The Shield uses one, too, and those normal DVDs upscale terribly because of it.
