“Xerxes was NOT that androgynous!”
So Iran is pissed over the depictions of Persian culture in 300. WTF? It started as a comic, and was later made into a really stylized homoerotic S+M flick.
Wait, the ancient Persians didn’t actually have giant mutant monsters on chains they could send into battle? No legions of zombie warriors? Charging rhinos that went down with a single well placed spear? Ancient battlefields weren’t choreographed spectacles with ‘mud blood’ flying around, but not sticking to anything?
Well here’s a thought guys…make your own fictional films. Aren’t you actually just pissed because of the momentary attention and profits the film is getting? Hey, it’s the only way we can get our ADD teenagers to learn ANYTHING about ancient history. I’m telling ya, whip up a CGI epic about the assassins and you’ll have a blockbuster of your own, not to mention a recruitment vehicle-
Iran is pissed? I’m pisssed. Why so much talking in this movie? Yeah, you’re Spartan..I get it. The bigged up version of the trannie from StarGate is the movie,with a big butch voice to match, ugh okay. But why didn’t that hunchback jump on those Persian dancers on screen? Boooo!
