Hi there

I've been reading all your comments about 300. I had resolved to go and see it but I really wanted to see it with certain people (Greek friends etc) to get into it more. Then friends piked; didn't want to see it at the cinema but wanted to wait for the DVD, so I decided not to see it and spend all that money, when I wasn't even sure I'd like it much. (Someone here said it was a cross between Gladiator, Lord of the Rings and Matrix - I gasped; they were exactly my thoughts of the promo).

So anyway, here I was, contentedly waiting for the DVD to come out, not expecting anything great and now I come to this site and read all of what you guys have written about it and the transcendental cinema experiences associated with it and ... well...

... I need consolation. Crying or Very sad

I'm not happy.

(Nice to be here though; you all sound really nice).

ZHTO OI SPARTIATES! ZHTO H ELLAS!
(Long live the Spartans; long live Greece).

Cool - I guess that means we Australians can expect it sometime around November/December then. Laughing

Not only is it never too late to study at university, I think most people can get a lot more out of it at a later (non-tween) age. It's funny: I hated history at school and I didn't fully appreciate university while I was there. Now I find history fascinating. I totally understand where you're coming from. I think you'll really enjoy uni and you're really lucky to be involved in something that truly excites you. All the best with it. Very Happy
