Swirlee

300, based on the graphic novel of the same name about the Battle of Thermopylae by Sin City creator Frank Miller. Hi-res trailer at Apple.com; more information and videos on the obligatory production blog.

Apple has the usual high-quality trailers, but doesn’t let me embed them in my blog. Google is catching on. Better get moving, Apple. (via kottke.org)

I almost forgot what a cliffhanger season two ended on. The season three preview looks great—I can’t wait ’til October. (via eclecticism)

“Redband” apparently means the R-rated version. See also Clerks on a Plane.
