300 Spartans on a Dead Man's Chest

I can't believe how many people saw this movie and had political thoughts about it. For chrissakes, it's a sword and board snuff film. It's the equivalent of Die Hard or Bloodsport. Sure it throws in some comments about honor and warrior code and yadda yadda yadda.
Xerxes may be the gayest villain in the history of moviedom. "It's not the lash they fear...." (steps behind the Spartan king...) GROSS! It has humpbacks people! Humpbacks! As a general rule movies with humpbacks in them cannot be political.
Also any movie featuring as many decapitations as this one that is NOT about the French Revolution also cannot be considered a movie one thinks about.
Furthermore, America is not Sparta. We are not a warrior nation. We go to malls. We buy things. We have a great fighting force, true. But what percentage of our population could be part of that force right now? Probably less than one percent.
So don't get your johnson all hard on the idea that America is Sparta fighting against the invading Persian hordes in Iraq. WE INVADED THEM IDIOT! If anything, THEY'RE Sparta. I don't think they are. No one is. Remember!!! This is a silly action movie. That's it. Quit thinking about it.

That being said, the nerds and I and Rachael all enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Everyone had a good time. We all enjoyed the buckets of blood and had a quick nerd circle chat about it afterwards. Then Rachael and I had to sprint away to take Princess to the airport and then go to dinner with my parents, whom Rachael would be meeting for the first time.
