I have to say that having seen the trailer for Conan I have decided to give it a miss!
It may not suit the purists but I found my DVD of the 1961/2 film "The 300 Spartans" and had a really good evening's entertainment.
Ok, David Farrar as Xerxes is a bit OTT most of the time but like the original Spartacus, extras seemed to have no limit so there's realistic numbers lining up against the 300. And although the fight scenes are tame by today's standards I think Richard Egan pulls off Leonidas remarkably well without the extreme costume and rippling muscles!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
