see what i did there? i pulled one word from a post above and made a completely random post and made people talk about it.

:wub: neth.

I like the line he says "choose your words messengers, because in Sparta man, woman, even a messenger is repsonsible for their words"]

great movie.

[IceStorm]

oh great, how the hell did racism get into this discussion?

oh no, they made a cop movie, where the murderer is black, they are implying something! racist!!

geez

lol i was about to say the same thing, he pretty much pulled that out of thin air.

when he kicked that squid (term used to replace a derogitory term) messenger down that hole, i laughed a little. I thought he was being rascist.

heh

excuse me nickname, did you say this movie was historically accurate? ogres, chainsaw arm freaks, etc all were real. fucking idiot.

I expected at least more strategies being used (which i saw in the beginning of the fighting) but then got sorely disappointed when it just turned out to being spartans coming out of the tunnel (which was their fucking focus point of seige tactics to hold off the persian army) and fighting like they are the incredible hulk, and no scratch can be done.

I could not but help think of how this is such a clear message of propaganda of US interests on anti-iran sentiments. Americans being the spartan badasses that cant die or get hurt unless they are betrayed or killed "cowardlike" by arrows. and the persians (iranians) being the ugly deformed can't fight army.

This movie blowed, and you all suck for liking it. Other than the artistic visual effects the movie sucked.

I'm glad you can't read gran, but let me show you exactly what I mean. I said i'm glad it wasn't to artsy, as I was afraid it was, and artsy applies to the ogres guys, the goat heads, the oracle thrashing around naked, I even told you my theatre LAUGHED when the ogre guy was on screen.

I said i'm glad it was rather historically accurate, which, ding ding ding, it was. It wasn't just 300 (some estimates put there numbers as high as 1300) and it wasn't just Spartans, and the battle itself lasted for all of 2 days (which it did in the film). I was glad it didn't have the opposite of Troy, where a battle that lasted for years looked like a 3 day fight, meaning i'm glad this 2 day fight didn't look like months of warfare. As far as tired goes, the front line would rotate after a time, they can go without food for 2 days (and god forbid they eat an apple, because lord knwos apples are heavy to carry and that theres no chance of any food being near by, like say, a tree full of apples.

Attempting to take any part of this and say it's based on current event (anti-iranian) is total bullshit. You know what, Muslims and Chirstians don't see eye to eye and haven't since this little thing called the crusades, but if i made a movie where muslims are the bad guys it must be BASED UPON CURRENT EVENTS!!!!!

They all got cut, they all got beat up, the movie wasn't racist, you're a fag for thinking it was... fucking idiot.

Get a good look at me folks!

One day, I will eliminate all Puerto Ricans.

lol going into battle without any body armor was probably the biggest historical mistake they did though girls love 12 packs

agreed i was gonna mention that but being able to see all those muscles made it all worth it

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

anyways, for your kind of people, i am sorry that you will never enjoy art. you're the guy that hates 'A Million Little Pieces' because there's no way James Frey could have done all those drugs - ignoring the message of the book.

What if I hate A Million Little Pieces because Frey tried to sell it as a totally autobiographical work before being outed? James Frey is a Piece of Shit. (Get it? He totally capitalizes stupid words.)

[Galleleo]

They should make a movie out of the Odyssee (I think it originally has a different name). But not fuck it up like Troy (which I still enjoyed but compared to the book was hardly the same).

[Zeebu]

amirite?

also, xerxes looked like a 10 foot tall hardcore/emo kid

but otherwise

Fucking Fantastic Movie.

"Because only Spartan women give birth to REAL MEN" ... *Persian Emissary STFU's*

I'm of the firm belief that we should model our society more after Sparta.

Also, Gran is only pissed because irl he IS Persian and it angers him deeply to see the Persians fail at life due to their own incompetance and arrogance.

Paulo said it I think, about how we'd all still be in a world ruled by Theocracy bullshit and Savagery.

Hopefully this film will spark interest and lay the groundwork for more movies revolving around this period in history. Specifically, as Paulo stated, the Athenians and the events following the battle of Thermopylae.

In conclusion, GG Persian slapdicks, Spartan'd

P.S. DEADPERSIANWALL was -far- superior to MANTREE.

Just saw 300
It really kicked lots of ass
Spartans for the win

anyways, for your kind of people, i am sorry that you will never enjoy art. you're the guy that hates 'A Million Little Pieces' because there's no way James Frey could have done all those drugs - ignoring the message of the book. you'd look at Picasso's 'Guernica' and just lament that he was a shitty painter and everyone was all disproportionate and modern-artsy.


it's an action movie, bro. take it for what it is.

jerome we can have a decent argument, you might even be right, but theres just no need for saying we dont enjoy art cuz we dont like one film, or start categorizing us into "your kind of people" and put us into these stereotypes you've accumulated. thats just way over the top.

[gran guerrero]

ppl keep telling me it's just a movie, or it's just a comic

but i keep seeing you fuks embracing it like it's your religion.

the only faith you need in your life is captain jack.

[Liquid Blue]

ROFL. Whoever went into a movie about insane action and violence to look for historical inaccuracies and unrealistic combat needs to take the plug out of their ass. Seriously, I came into this movie looking for a good time and some awesome fight scenes. Since when do action movies ever show historical accuracy? Cliche dialogue? If any of the spartans said anything complex, I would have been pissed off. The spartans were meatheads, let them speak like meatheads. Okay, so I guess I can see the propaganda and shit, but this is based on the comic book. If anything, complain about the comic book and how Frank Miller is a strong pro-war supporter or something.

thank you :wub:
