just saw it and thought I’d share for those who haven’t
Enjoy
…
Maybe there is still hope for great movies.
Man I read Gates of Fire and thought the whole way through that this would make a sweet movie.
300 looks amazing the way it was filmed. I also read somewhere that another version is being put together by George Clooney I think.
That is the official trailer, take a look at this one, I liked this one a bit better:

This movie, as with Sin City, have show the magic that can be done with blue screen. This movie is going to be a fucking epic!
You know that feeling when you watch something incredibly badass? The one where you get goosebumps and your brain just screams “Fuck yeah!”.
I just got that, to the nth degree.
THAT
LOOKS
FUCKING
GREAT!
I heard that Charles Staley maybe preparing a training cycle inspired by the movie “300” (I guess he saw the trailer, too!)
Here’s where I posted the question on the appropriate forum so the mods don’t freak out.

Yeah Bro, goosebumps is right! I’m hoping that it turns out to be one of those films, that when you’re watching you keep thinking, ‘please don’t ever let this end!’
I am definently going to see this.
Ya’ll say that this show is based on a book, but for some reason I am thinking that there was an actual battle similar to this in ancient greece, where a few spartans held a pass against immessurable odds. Maybe if someone could point to some history, I would appreciate.
Did you know that while mosts greeks did not eat a wealth of meat, spartans HAD to eat at least 2 pounds a day, they thought that it would keep their courage up.
it was xerxes and his million man army, and they were held off by 300 spartans for 3 months. the only reason the spartans eventually lost was because a greek shepherd turned traitor and let the persians around to a secret pass to get behind the spartans and overwhelm them with numbers.
Barney,
The battle of Thermopylae.
Thanks fellas.
For some reason, I was thinking that during the war that the battle occured, sparta and athens worked together to fight back against the persians. But my acient history is fuzzy.
The irony is that those actors were trained by Mark Twight of Gym Jones who used programing he learned from CrossFit.

For some reason, certain web-pages don’t work on my browser any longer, wiki being one. I wish I knew how to fix my browser. Any ideas?
As far as the win, it was greece, but then greece fought amongst itself afterwards. If I am right.
The film is being adapted from a graphic novel. Google it for more info.

You’re right. Athens formed the Delian League, which was a group of city-states that paid Athens money to protect them. Athens started using the money to build fancy columns and shit, so Sparta said enough of that shit, yo.
Thermoplyae was the original Alamo, and meant to the Greeks what the Alamo means to Texans.
They knew they would die. They knew if they left, hundreds of thousands more would.
They stayed. They fought ferociously to the last man. Democracy exists today.
There is a new Persian empire out to scrape democracy off the face of the earth today.
Is there a new 300 today?
Are there new Spartans today?
I think so. Maybe we should take a poll.

Before I make any wrong assumptions could you elaborate on that?
