Are the characters this "intense" during the whole movie?

I'm sure all of this "acting" took years off of everybody's life.

For a second, when I herd the word spartan I thought "Halo movie?".

Seems like a good movie to me though.

WOW. Just Wow.

That looks like a real good one.
Real god damned good.

You know we could solve the entire world's energy crisis, if we could tap the massive, infinitely renewable power source that is Frank Miller's ego. Oh man, nothing to me says entertainment like Nietchzian power-woship and cripple-bashing.

It's also in kinda questionable taste to put out a film glorifying a fascist war machine state and its epic struggle against those filthy Middle Easterners at this particular moment, but then Frank Miller can't exactly be accused of subtle, nuanced thoughts and tastes.

I'm still going to see it anyway.

Ok, I saw the origional trailer and got to hear him talk about it while I worked at Comic-con, and the amount of effort they put into this, was quite astounding. They actually did histroical research into this movie, visiting the sites where the battles took place and whatnot. And yes, there WILL be gratuitus nudity, violence, and some sex. I wouldn't recommend taking little Jimmy and Sally to it.

Can someone get a non-quicktime version of that video please?

Quicktime is entirely unrequired as the VLC Media Player plays .mov formats just as well. Unless you don't want to install it for some reason, in which case, yeah.

Looks like an interesting movie. Also, methinks Frank Miller has a thing for grotesque deformities. Yes, I picked it up just that quickly.

Questionable like Frank Miller is subtle.

On a tangental note, anybody know when he's planning to finish ~~Batman Smashes the Wogs!~~ Holy Terror, Batman!? I've really been looking forward to that one.

At least the spartans are apparently wearing briefs in this version. Which is a welcome change from the comic, on the whole.
