Saw a trailer for this new movie called 300, and it looks pretty sweet. Says it’s based off a graphic novel, which I might have to check out. Take a look at a trailer or two. I love the art direction, it actually looks like a graphic novel.
"Health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. That’s its attraction for an ambitious president: It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in a way that hands all the advantages to statists — to those who believe government has a legitimate right to regulate human affairs in every particular." -Mark Steyn
I saw the trailer too… looks interesting. Reminds me of something Biblical. You people smarter than me can tell me what I must be thinking of.
Never read the novel (unaware one existed) but the movie is a rehash of “300 Spartans” where ancient Persia, bent on world conquest is made to rethink its plans by a small band of determined Greeks (starring the great Richard Egan as the Greek general Leonidas). The trailer I of the new movie even repeats an exchange between leaders of the warring nations (Persian leader to Greeks: “When we loose our arrows, they will blot out the sun”! Greek leader to Persian: “Then we will fight in the shade!”) Looking forward to seeing it.
