While we're ranting, here's mine-
There is a few critics (paid for and otherwise) who don't like the movie 300. I don't care if they do or not, but thier reasons are completely stupid; it's too political, it's pro-America, etc, etc. The reasons all have a similarity that runs in with the war and/ or American sentiments.
Bullshit! The movie is based off a graphic novel which is based, shock fucking horror, on events that happened. Historic events that has been proven to have happened. No zombie Jesus not staying dead, no supposed Jews in mass graves- just a site where Spartans had a disagreement with a few more Persians and decided the best way to resolve differences was over the point of a spear.
With the fact that this happened before America was even a sparkle in England's eye SHOULD be proof enough that this movie does not have propaganda, but some paranoid sticks of fuck think otherwise. Some people are quick to bring up "The Persians are (now) Arabs". Yeah, no kidding. Did it also occur to you that they're the ones invading, and on top of that, they won the battle. Fuck no, because once the recognise that, thier suspicions and reasons for not enjoying the movie turns out to be shit. Fair enough if you didn't like the story, or the visuals, or the music; but to dislike it for non-existant propaganda is such an idotic thing to do.
Righto, I'm done.
