...even talk." And just like that, the movie about the ancient Greek battle of Thermopylae with no stars and unusual stylized visuals became the talk of the convention. Six months later, it premiered at Butt-Numb-a-Thon, an Austin, Texas, film festival curated by Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News (AICN). Most mainstream media critics trounced it, but 60% of the males who bought tickets on opening weekend said they were drawn by seeing references to the movie on the Web, where readers of sites like Garabedian's and Knowles' were frenetically discussing...

"I ain't never seen me a one-legged stripper," observes an evil guy played by Tarantino, "an' I been to Morocco!" Soon, but not soon enough given Tarantino the actor's tendency to slaver, the guy's genitals turn to goo and he gets a stick in the eye - the wooden...
...After rumors to the contrary, Warner Bros. announced that once and future Hermione Emma Watson (with co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint) is booked for all seven Harry Potter films. AIN'T IT COOL NEWS mops its fevered, geeky brow: "Our long national nightmare comes to a close." Just don't tell them what happens to Dumbledore in the last book. SCORE...
