How are you going to pick at a fantasy movie, Chuck? Unless you take a copy of the comic book along with you, of course... (Sorry, I think I'm splattering sarcasm, again!)

Have fun, I guess!

I take it this is the "True" version of Thermopolae? :lol:

I'm looking forward to it. I get enough reality in the real world, but I love legends and that is what this movie is supposed to be like.

Historical inaccuracy aside, I must say that the hoplites are hunky... :oops:

Especially 'Dienekes' - he who says the immortal words...although he is not listed as such! :oops: Stelios is the name he goes by...

As an aside, The Greek Warriors from New York are going to be involved with the publicity of '300' in the NY Tri-state and East Coast area..!

Not to mention that Stelios is a modern and NOT an ancient Greek name...

300 is the movie version of the Frank Miller graphic novel (Batman: The Dark Night and Sin City fame.) No, it won't be historically accurate but it should be way cool.
