    The indignant tycho face at the end and the fact that gabe is dunking and eating oreos the whole time is what makes it great.

    People who over-read all kinds of political allegory into 300 need to be slapped around.

    Frank Miller is a homophobe and a fascist. These views affect everything he writes. Anyone who goes into a movie that is heavily marketed as being written by Frank Miller should god damn well expect that.

    I think it's pretty much impossible for a film to be made about war these days without faggot liberal fuckerdoodles trying to find the Bush allegory in there somewhere.

    Like seriously.

    Watching people try to stretch it to make it fit the message they are trying to shove down people's throats is mind-numbing.

    And it seems to be something that liberal fags are doing exclusively, in this case.

    Doesn't mean I'm going to like some overblown action movie based on a mis-telling of an historical incident that was made just so Frank Miller could prove that you can have half-naked men from Greece and make them straight and not be having sex with each other like they actually did.

    And Pony is 100% right.

    And fuckerdoodle is now my favorite word.

    I thought that the Spartans weren't actually as into guy lovin as most people claim, and the actual source of most backdoor shenanigans was Thebes.

    To me, the far more inaccurate aspect of the story isn't the lack of gay. The gayness of the Spartan culture is a matter of historical fact, although how pervasive it was is disputed.

    No, what should be twinging people a great deal more is how much shit is made by the Spartans in 300 about "freedom".

    The Spartan state was a fascist military state founded on enslaving an agrarian underclass.

    They were called the fucking Helots, people.

    And you know what, though? I don't give a goose shit about that.

    I really don't.

    I expected about as much historical accuracy from 300 as I did from Xena.

    yeah the whole "This is the beginning of an age where 300 men stood against many" was dumber than scout

    What was it, a 1 to 10 ratio of spartans to Helots?

    That seems like a bit much

    BSG lays it's allegory on real thick, but it does it in such a way that you can't really be sure who is supposed to represent who.

    Is Baltar supposed to be Jesus? Saddam Hussein? Hitler? Vidkun Quisling?

    Who knows.

    Star Wars is not historically accurate

    the empire was not some prototypical evil monster just because their leader was a bit of a dick

    the local governments were not nearly as authoritarian

    Yeah, I'm with you on that one. I haven't seen 300 yet (DYING to, though), but I'm not going to go in there with encyclopedic knowledge of the Battle of Thermopylae and do a compare/contrast.

    Hell, the film's marketing even says it's BASED ON THE GRAPHIC NOVEL BY FRANK MILLER. Not BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

    Rawr.

    300 is good for a few hours of entertainment. Why does every movie have to be a dramatic blockbuster, or suck? It's neither a historical documentary nor a witty screenplay lambasting current events and political motives

    It's guys yelling stabbing things with swords, they even worked explosions into it
