300 trailer

[iberus_generalis]

Once again, Hollywood is ruining a perfectly good story to try and make it "cool."

To me, the story - the REAL story - of the 300 Spartans is one of the greatest ever told. The story of 300 men willing to stand against 250,000 does not need to be made "cool" because its already awe-inspiring.

But, alas, it seems our country is full of too many stupid people that Hollywood feels they must appease. With one swift stroke Frank Miller has now prevented any other movie about Thermopylae from being made for years, if not decades. His use of real Spartan lines - like the one about the arrows - now automatically means that nobody else could use them, because people will think that they're some really cool line that Frank Miller came up with, not fact.

Thank you, Frank Miller, for aiding in the dumbing-down of America.

well comarade, americans, and the rest of the world will only get more and more dumbed down by holliwood and the Mass media, if they want to...i love hollywood movies(as well as some others not from the USA) and it's not because of them that i get dumbed down...sure "evolved" societes, are getting more and more lazy, and kids are only getting info and "education" through the tv screen...but there's no need to panic...let them be ignorant, don't you care about them...be an island of knowledge in the ocean of ignorance our world is becoming day by day...worry about yourself not geting dumbed down...you'll see that in time, you'll make private jokes, and feel above the rest of the common folk...and besides, have you never heard that information is power? you have info on something nobody suspects...and that gives you importance above them.. i used to think tv and hollywood were dumbing down humanity, i still do, but now i don't give a damn, cuz i worry about myself, and help others on their way to knowledge when im required, but i don't care if ppl around me prefer to be ignorant.... let them have tendencious news, let them have pop star girlie music, let them have soaps. i prefer dance music, punk rock, and good solid knowledge about the world i live in...

but comrade you are right thanks to this movie we won't see another movie about thermopylae for a long time, cuz those are the rules of the business...today, most directors, and studios make movies for the oscars, and don't care if they are good or not, as long as they are good to get prizes(politically correctness is a requirement)....that's sad that our world is so stupid, but what can we do?
after 300 they could do a good movie about Alesia...or about something historical...or redo quovadis, with realistical blood games, or even a good(read GOOD) Medieval era movie that doesn't focus the barbaric nature of the hundred year war, or the germanic barbarians(crusaders and all those papal fanatics), or the Christian Reconquista of Iberia, who is so far a rich soil for movies but with none made to date by a big studio...

lets just pray this movie is the Thing, and not another alexander, or another troy...let's hope this guys learned somethings with these two failures, and with Gladiator

and what is this new fixation hollywood has with men jumping high in the air(unrealisticly) and atack ppl with swords in mid air??? first the pitt's super jumps of death, and now 300 with something similar? can't they see that it's highly unrealisitical, a veteran would just step away, and extend his sword and impale the Superjumper in his sword????

and what is that fat monster with blades for arms in the trailer??? a boss from quake4? lol lets just hope this movie is great and that this strange looking glimpses have a more or less logic to be there....
