    Default 300 Spartans

    Well, it looks like Frank Miller's '300' will be a visually stunning film if this trailer is anything to go by, and entertaining.

    Blech. 300 Spartans, and 3000 others did not stand by and do their duty to be treated thusly.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Rumours...

    Yeah, I just saw the trailer yesterday. It made me want to weep--and not with joy. Why couldn't they have based it off of Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire instead? That would have been a million times better.....

    If it's a good film, I won't care about the 'it's not historical' brigade, I'll enjoy it and it will hopefully generate enormous interest in ancient Greek history; if not, then I'll slate it.

    If I want the most contemporary account possible then I'll read Herodotus, in classical Greek.

    Maybe the Spartans will fight with an underarm motion with sarisassas... because that would be realistic (CA)
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.
