"300" sequel: Now with more tedium!
Husband Mike checked the
300 prequel from the library, and in spite of my misgivings -- seriously, you cannot make a sequel/prequel to the awesomest movie ev-ar that is
300 -- I agreed to give it a watch.
After 5 minutes, I was bored to tears.
After 20, I wanted to bash my head in so as to fall unconscious and not have to watch any more.
... I have no idea how he's managing to keep watching (I'm just trying to tune it out at this point), but he
is much more stoic (heh; see what I did there?) than me.

My thoughts on Gadot in her Wondy duds
So,
we finally get to see what Gal Gadot's Wondy duds look like for the upcoming
Batman v Superman flick. My thoughts:
1) I like the outfit. She's been depicted similarly in the comics for quite some time, so this is not anything out of place or new. I could do without the heels, but as those are impractical, naturally, they have her in 'em. Which is also not new -- she is usually depicted wearing heeled boots, so
::shrug::. (Don't get me started on the ballerina shoes from the Golden Age.)
2) I had a slim bit of hope that Gadot would manage to put on more musculature for the role. Alas, she did not. However, I can more easily overlook that bit because -- like Supes -- she could have zero muscles and still flatten a city block. Her strength in pre-52 continuity is a direct gift from the gods, and in post-52 continuity the result of Zeus being her daddy. So, ultimately, whatevs.
3) If you yap about how she "looks like Xena", I will kick your arse into a different hemisphere.
Xena is the blatant ripoff of Wondy, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Wondy's been around since 1941. Also, you may be surprised to know this, but I have always hated the character of Xena. (Lawless, however, I like. She rocks as an actress.) Don't assume that because I love Wondy, I also love Xena. :-)
4) I am still not holding my breath that the flick will be any good. Because this is DC, people. When they manage to eke out a good movie, it's
in spite of themselves.
