Anyone ready for “Dessert in Hell?”

by The Perfessor

301Yep, the film is barely out in theaters (two weekends — both at the top of the heap) and there is already talk of a “301.” That is to say a sequel to Frank Miller’s graphic album-to-film testosterone-fest, 300.  

“Of course, and more than 2,000 years after the fact, I hope this isn’t a spoiler for anyone, the Battle of Thermopylae ends with every Spartan dying. So, barring zombie Spartans marching off to war, how in the world would they go about making a sequel proper to this story? Of course, the later battles of the war, the naval clash at Salamis and the Battle of Plataiai, are up for grabs, as is the earlier Athenian-Persian battle of Marathon.” 

Heh, he said “Zombie Spartans”

Needless to say, Miller still has Ronin, Sin City 2, Sin City 3, the Batman & Robin comicbook series he’s working on for DC with Jim Lee, and who know what else going on, plus he’d probably have to write the graphic album for the story first, so I’m betting that there will be a bit of time on this story as of yet. 

Oh hey, I saw this flick (again) last night with my son. In case anyone wants to know, it is still worth going to see in “standard” (that is to say, non-IMAX) format as well!

Oh yeah, (as if I still needed to mention it). 

...Captain America is still dead.

    They going to call it "301"??
    "300.2"??
    "Night Of The Living Abs?"
    Or just "Abs of Steel - The Revenge!" ("This time, it's personal!")

    “Abs of Steel - The Revenge!” (”This time, it’s personal!”)

    Actually, I was hoping they would do it for us hetro guys in the theater, and call it Buns of Steel, and have Suzanne Summers lead a team of Amazon warrior women — wearing as little as did Leonidas’ soldiers — to beat down some more Persian ass, this time with ThighMasters. (remember, King Leonidas indicated that his Spartan women could have fought better than Xerxes’ slave hoards.)

    Or perhaps they could simply do a version staring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon and call it 300 to 1: The odds of actually winning.

    Hey, its Ocean’s 311 (to be followed, no doubt, by Ocean’s 300 7/11 “Where we’re open all night!”)

    It was a long walk around to get to that punch line, but I really needed the exercise
