observer Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 The tale of the 300 Spartans at Thermopoly - sat down to take in this historical epic; only to be turned off by a surreal joke. The immortals in metal masks, the traitorous shepherd portrayed as hunchback and the King of Kings in Gothic rig, as an advert for body piercing. Yet another of these so-called modern screen gems, digitally amplified into a sci-fi movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 First saw this "filum" as they were then called in the mid sixties at the Ritz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Think your on about a more accurate version Wingy, this was a re-make. Sid - the problem is - the kids finish up believing this is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Critics of "300" should see the silly send-up of it called "Meet the Spartans" with such effects as painted on 6-pack abs. Leonidas and the Persian fat guy from Borat play "Let's Make a Deal." In "300" I loved the part when Gerry Butler kills the messenger -- in slow motion. The main story line is still there -- Sparta let Leonidas down, the Persians were stalled, and the 300 will always be remembered for their courage. And no matter where or when, there's always a rat that betrays his people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 One could have thought it was part of the Lord of the Rings series, but instead of Hobbits they had an humpty back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
