The new movie 300 is yet another adolescent male power fantasy from the fertile mind of perpetual angry 13 year old Frank Miller, but this film is unique in that it has a mercifully less punitive attitude towards male genitalia than the writer’s other work.
Come to think of it, when the main characters are all half-naked warriors, taut, toned and bare-chested, this movie is gayer than the super bowl.
300 is about a king who defies his country’s rule of law and goes to war with a vaguely-defined threat from the middle east, but I can hardly see how a story like this is even relevant in this day and age.
Ultimately, what this movie makes me think about most is what terrible shape I’m in. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some sit-ups to do. About 300.
