The guy plays "dress up and pretend" for a living. No one has ever accused actors of being the great thinkers of our time.

It's your money so stay home if you want, but the Germans walked out on this movie because they thought it was pro American propaganda.

Anything that so upsets a European, I'm not going to miss.

and then there is the little bit about my tagline.....

Have you read the novel "Gates of Fire"? Excellent account of the battle and Sparta in general.

Tcostell...I know what you're saying. But it's not the movie that is the problem. It's BUTLER himself. I can't support a film of his when he's DISSED my beloved troops.

And I won't, movie be damned. By the way, the reason the Berlin PRESS dissed his movie was that it was an American-made film. The Euro press were the ones who dissed it in the first press-only screening. The second screening was nothing but regular citizens, who applauded it.

I'm back to boycotting libnuts who think we should see their films while they slam what's near and dear to us.

I hope it tanks. And he's nothing but a socialist who hates America.

I'm with you. I've seen too many clips of this movies to not go now.

In another article, one of the producers was darn near pro-American

Uh, Reagan? Thompson? Arnold? John Wilkes Booth? lol


I tend to think of this as a war movie about Sparta and the Persians.

Just saw "300" and had to grin at the use of your tagline!
