[Movie] 300

It's not just one of the main points of Greek history, it's arguably the most important event in Western History. If the Persians had gone through the pass unimpeded there's a good chance that all our cultural development would have been set by Persia and not the City States. Maybe the Germanics.

I can't watch this trailer without being moved to tears. There's not a doubt in my mind that this will be the greatest film of the season. I never read 300, and I didn't even watch The 300 Spartans that I bought my grandparents last Christmas. This is going to be pure style, and probably one of the few movies to present a true sense of legend.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They seem to still have it here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You're thinking of the Athenians. Spartans performed wife swapping and female bisexuality.

Though Plato in his Laws implies otherwise, blaming the Spartans for their custom of males taking sexual pleasure with other males παρὰ φύσιν "beyond nature"[12], many ancient writers held that Spartan pederasty was chaste, though still erotic. Lycurgus decreed that if someone, being himself an honest man, admired a boy's soul and tried to make of him an ideal friend without reproach and to associate with him, he approved, and believed in the excellence of this kind of training. But if it was clear that the attraction lay in the boy's outward beauty, he banned the connection as an abomination; and thus he mandated that "boy lovers should keep their hands off boys just as parents do not lay hands on their own children." This system, implies Xenophon, produces the most modest, trustworthy and self-controlled men in all of Greece. [13]

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

Yeah, if the film is modeled directly after the source material, then el jacko is pretty much saying the comic is gay irregardless of his ignorance.

You're not really making much of a point here.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh dear. =/

Most amazing jew boots

No shit it's not supposed to be a direct re-telling of history, it's based on a comic book. In terms of story, 300's plot was severely outpaced by its themes.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
