True enough. 

But I am a yin/yang of tough to fruity.  I remember one 24 hour period where I got a pedicure, fought in a Jiu Jitsu tournament,  shot a lever action 30/30 at the gun range, and then came home and made broccoli soup.

I'm sort of baffled by HATE for Citizen Kane.  I can understand indifference, but hate? 

Brian, I demand you come and defend your position.

Wow....ok.  You're entitled not to like the story but in my mind no one can fuck with its level of craftsmanship and its impact on cinema.

1)  First love and first heartbreak is a bit complicated.  She's sorta known around these parts and is to this day one of my closest friends.  It was ages ago and I don't want to go into too much detail.

2)  My one sentence philosophy.  I'll let two men smarter than me do it.

"The thought manifests as the word. Word manifests as the deed. Deed develops into habit. And habit hardens into character." - Gautama Buddha

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies — "God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut (via "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater)

3) Something I've learned about myself:
Every time I learn something profound I am instantly aware of how much I still don't know.

You defend your broad generalizations with yet another (and a pinch of condescension).  Michel Gondry has directed 40 or so music videos.  As have Spike Jonez, David Fincher, and Mark Romanek.  If any of them make a 2 hour music video, I'd be there because Im a fan of those artists.

I'm a fan of Frank Miller, as well as a Zack Snyder fan.   The work they did was lyrical, not literal, and I like it.  You're entitled not to.  Your opinion is not wrong.  But if you're going to ground your opinion on something quantifiable like plot or characters, then frame your opinion as such.  I really don't know why Orpheus looks back into that cave for Calliope after being told not to.  It makes no logical sense.  But we don't dismiss it out right.  300 works much in the same way.  It is a mythical retelling of an historical event.  The characters are meant to be larger than life, the action is meant to be over the top and executioners are supposed to have bladed flippers for hands and goat people play the pan flute in harems, god dammit.  You're either on board or not, but its in no way less relevant for it.

Characters:
King Leonidas:  Born into royalty and a warrior class with a passion for his country and its ideals that are only eclipsed by his love for his queen.  A master tactician with a fiery temper.

Xerxes:  Power mad tyrant who feels that there is nothing that freedom can't do that oppressive rule cannot do better.  His alien like physical appearance parallels his inability to understand how Leonidas can command free men to do what his oppressed people cannot. 

Ephialtes:  His desire to fit in blinds any sense of morality as he is willing to flip sides and betray his countrymen in order to play act in a role he doesn't have the mettle to earn, irrespective of his deformity.  He is given an opportunity to serve his king, but his ego feeds his rage, and he betrays a nation.

PLOT:  In the birth of the modern world a small band of idealists ignore the law and defy the odds to defend their home against an army the early world had not yet known.  By using cunning, geographic advantages, and superior weapons and strategy, a King was able to give his countrymen the time they needed to uncover a plot of corruption committed by their own brothers.

You're entitled to not like any of this, but an ad hoc dismissal of these elements like they don't exist is just silly and in no way accurate.

Or Michael Corleone or Tony Montana or Scottie Ferguson or Robert Angier or Colonel Nicholson or Captain Queeg or Charles Foster Kane or Lestat or Fred Dobbs or Brundel Fly or Jack Torrance or.....
