trailer for "300"

Adapted from the graphic novel by Frank Miller


Wow.

If the movie is as good as it looks, we may have a 180-minute dose of theatrical LSD on our hands.

dude......

ok I know I'm posting many a comment here - but I just can't help it.

Herodotus's version of the battle of Thermopylae in his histories has facinated me since college. 300 Spartans (and 700 Thespians) against 5 million Persians (though later sources say 120,000 was probably closer)- they didn't win - but they lasted 3 days. These guys were the original tough guys. When Xerxes told Leonidas to lay down his weapons he responded with 2 words in Greek - Molon Labe - come and get them.

I am so posting this on my site.
