This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

On the Daily show, Jon Stewart said something hilarious about the costumes, I'll paraphrase:

"The movie 300 depicts a mythical version of the battle at Thermopylae, in which 300 Spartans, along with 15,000 abs, defeated 1 million Persians."

Got back from the movie in an unholy shitstorm at home, but it was still an awesome flick.

I was spellbound from the moment the Persian riders came over the ridge at the very beginning.  I loved everything after that, even though a couple of my favorite bits from the comic were dropped.

Side note: When I got to the theater, people were lined up ten deep to get into the IMAX screening.  No IMAX for FG this time.

EDIT: The closing credits about made me shit my pants.  So much good.

One Question:

 Would 300 be a good "Date Movie" or not?

Yes. Lots of action and blood and death and derring-do for you, lots of BEEFCAKE for her. My girlfriend really liked it, despite going in thinking she wouldn't.

Probably not a first date movie. :D
