I think the spartans should lose thare hole army to the coool persians Tyu tuj mkjgikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk your move i sucks id like to see the spartans beg for mercy This movie is the worst i have ever seen maybe you should make persians look cool and have waked on there muscells N bush is no god 2 mi…he suffer veri one who goes 2 iraq…Ģday war is not lyke tose ancient greece type…a phalanx of tem against others. He圓……raincoaster…u rite the men r hot lyke tat…haha…but 2 bad 4 tem…ĭ warfare in sparta last tyme is no greater than now…. As you know, we’re highly in favour of half-nekkid, highly decorative men. Interesting how this sort of stuff happens when the guys in charge have both manliness issues and dubious records of service.Īs long as it’s so over the top that it’s ineffective as propaganda, I’m fine with it. Yeah, but I bet they spent a lot more money on wardrobe in the previous incidents.Ĭome to think of it, didn’t Ronald Reagan once refer to military uniforms as “costumes”? There were military consultants on each of the previous two films about this incident. “Sorry sir, the budget is being overseen by the Bush Administration. “Wal, first get them boys some damn body armour!” “What do you think, General Petraeus?” (Doesn’t he have the loveliest name for a closet leatherman working on a flashy, Greek, film?) “Military consultants?” On a sword-and-bejewelled-thong epic? Of course, each branch of the military has its own Hollywood liason office. They have no military consultants listed as such in the crew credits, so that’s why I’m checking out the producers. Strange that you’d get executive producer credit on a hugely expensive movie when you have, apparently, nothing else to your name. It won’t display a thing I’ve tried French sites, British sites, IMDB, you name it.Īpparently. Flores, one of the executive producers, the page freezes and will not open. You know what’s weird? Every time I try to open a page giving me more information about Craig J. Why would the producer tie his cart to a lame duck unless there was something in it for him (other than being an apologist for a loser)? Top Gun was rewritten at the request of their Navy advisors this is nothing new, nothing whatsoever. Ĭome on and connect me some dots on 300, please. The Path to 9/11 was written by a fawning sychophant and promulgated by ABC/Diznai. But you’re going to have to produce evidence if you’re going to call this out-and-out (but not “out”, if you understand what I mean) propaganda. I’ll go with the idea that the director and/or producer were shameless Bush suckers, and not in a good way. George Bush is going to blow a load in his pants when he sees this movie. Because, as the queen of Sparta points out, freedom isn’t free. And if the Spartan king has to break Spartan law to defend Spartan freedoms? Well, sometimes a king’s gotta do what a king’s gotta do. The only times the Persian army doesn’t look like a gay-pride parade in hell, it looks like a crowd of madly chanting Islamic militants. What isn’t up for debate is the film’s politics. Why gay up the Persians? So that straight boys in the theater can identify with the Spartan king and his 300 soldiers–all of whom appear to have been recruited from and outfitted by the International Male catalog. Emperor RuPaul is positively obsessed with men kneeling in front of him. The king of the Spartans–among the most notorious boy-fuckers in all of ancient history–dismisses Athenian Greeks as weak-willed “philosophers and boy lovers.” The Persian emperor? An eight-foot-tall black drag queen–mascara, painted-on eyebrows, pink lip gloss. The Persian army is an armed gay-pride parade, a threat to all things decent and, er, Greek.
Homophobic? It’s Ann Coulter on a meth binge. Some feel the film is homophobic some feel it’s a conservative, pro-war piece of agitprop. Have you seen 300 yet? It’s about a handful of lightly armed ancient Greeks–the Spartans–who take on the mighty, massive Persian army. With nothing but time on my hands this week, I slipped out of the office and went to the movies. Raincoaster giving Bushco props? You haven’t read much on this blog, eh?Īs far as propagandizing for the Iraq war (or the Persian Excursion II if you’re of an historical turn of mind) may I direct you to the insightful and restrained analysis of Mr.
