[Movie] 300

300 Soundtrack

I thought some might be interested.

edit: if it says the file is unavailable, you might want to try back at a later time. if this persists, i'll do a re-upload

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's in vbr. The file size is slightly small because the album's a little under an hour long. Here are the dirty details:

ENCODER : LAME v3.97 -V2 --vbr-new
QUALiTY : 189kbps avg / 44.1kHz / Joint Stereo

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll step up to the challenge. If self-plagiarism doesn't count, one only need look at last year's Three Times by Hou Hsiao-Hsien or the Dardenne Brother's The Child - both absent in "traditional cliche" and what one would call a "plot device". Other works that wholly retools cinematic narrative include Terrence Malick's works, most notably '05's The New World, or David Lynch's oeuvre, most notably Inland Empire and Mulholland Dr. One could even argue Richard Linklater's Before Sunset is "original"/"devoid of cliche". Then there's China's newcomer, Jia Zhang Ke, whose angsty films are expressed with cinematic minimalism, and definitely abandons any use of "devices" to drive his almost nonexistent narrative.

"Original" is a loaded word, but there are retoolings of narrative, visual, sound strategies in more abundance than you would think (mostly outside the USA but can be spotted within the Hollywood Machine if one looks close enough - Last year's Miami Vice and this year's Zodiac takes full advantage of HD's low-light capacity, and captures the idea of "night" never before seen in movies)

Sprouticus I wish I could defend you but alas I haven't watched 300 yet (at this point definitely more out of obligation than desire) - technically I could end up liking it, though I foresee that as less likely than not hearing my friends lament "THIS IS SPARTA!" at least once a day for the next few weeks.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
