In this electrifying poster for the film 300, splashes of blood, open-mouthed screams of rage and anguish, and determined, hostile facial expressions deliver impressive feelings of wrath, exhilaration, and bloodshed that are sure to be felt in the heat of battle.

Choice 1. I just thought that choosing 300 in the first place was incredibly awesome. Also, the description "in the dead of night" got that one song from Anastasia in my head. "In the dark of the night, evil will find you (ooh aah ooh!)"
In the song "Your Love Is A Song" by the band Switchfoot, the pensive, tenacious air of the lyrics, along with the mellow drum and guitar accompaniment and the powerful, husky, and dreamlike quality of the singer's vocals combine to evoke an overwhelming sense of breathlessness and euphoria surrounding the song's subject, a love so solemn and earnest it becomes the singer's reason for living.

Choice 2. I really liked the expression in the second half of the sentence. "...[A]n overwhelming sense of breathlessness and euphoria" was particularly striking.

portrays [a sense of playful benevolence and lighthearted liveliness.]

In the hacking of TIME Magazine's 2009 TIME 100 list, Anonymous perform rebellious yet modern and collaborative shenanigans in an effort to deride TIME, flatter the creator of their idol, and demonstrate their villainous capabilities by rigging the list to place moot at the top and make the first letters of the subsequent first names spell out a message both referential to Anonymous itself and taunting to those reading the message.
