I don't think I've ever seen someone do such an amazing job at missing the point.

It was good for a 2 hour long music video.

2 hours of some bearded guy gurning at the screen like a bulldog with chronic constipation, chewing a hedgehog?

I was talking to my friend Larushka about this film tonight. She's a film critic, and apparently asked David Wenham (a Spartan), whether at any point he loked at his polished, oiled, g-string-clad fellow Spartans and thought: "How super-gay is this?"

Apparently he laughed and said, I'd be lying if I said no.

I found this reassuring. Then I came here and realised you're all queueing up to kill my countrymen in Iraq with brave, high-altitude bombs!

Shoot. My bad relying on common sense...

Fun movie. Anyone who reads more than that into a comic book adaptation deserves a kick in the bollocks.

This guy needs to brush up on his greek history. I only read a 3rd of the way through and already caught two outright falsehoods. I wonder how many an actual greek historian would count.

And plus one to Burt.

Did Braveheart cause similar turmoil between Scots and English when it first came out? This is a film about skimpy males, big spears, and killing. If you want a story that attempts at every moment to be deep, read Walden.

Yes you are. Murderer!

I agree I shouldn't post drunk, though.

No. But then, no one is denying the English are all hateful bastards, are they? It's common sense.

No-one cares about what the Scots 'think', and the English long got used to being Rentavillains.

Apparently a PG version is being released.
