A new term for excellence: "arm-shavingly good"

I just saw the trailer for the new movie "300" based on Frank Millers graphic novel....
... and then watched it again, and again...

... and then watched all of the features on the production of the movie....

... and then wateched it again...

... and every single time I watched it I got goose-pimples... - you know the kind that you get when you feel profound awe in the prescence of greatness? - yup: those.

The story itself is just amazing; 300 Spartans defended the pass at Thermopylae and held off an army of an estimated quarter of a million Persians for three days whilst the rest of Greece mobilised.

But this movie rendition just instilled awe in me time and again; I really cannot wait to see this movie! - it's like waiting for Lord of the Rings to come out all over again! Hence the title of this blog entry: the trailer was so good that it raised goose pimples on my arm every single time I saw it - and so in response I need to shave the hairs off my arm to stop them raising every time; so this trailer alone is arm shavingly good!!
