Way to ruin a good time, professor (how to spot a tool, deux)

“Sparta, Spandex and Disturbing Distortions of ‘300′“

Wow. Apparently the author is a professor of hellenistic history and sucking all the fun out of a room.

Repeat after me:

• It is a movie based on a comic book that is not a documentary or historical document
• It is a movie based on a comic book that is not a documentary or historical document
• It is a movie based on a comic book that is not a documentary or historical document

As I said in my review, yeah, “Wow, Spartan society is really fascist”. Hopefully even the Fanboy Armies charging to the multiplex will realize that, but even if they don’t, who cares? If you’re the soft-minded type who strives to live his life according to the a movie based on a comic book, there’s not a lot of hope for you at all.

There’s no need to rebut point-by-point. Simply, “he tries very hard to suck the fun out of the room, and succeeds”.

He’s the kind of guy who’d look at a porno, a porno so hot you’d wanna pull out your junk and start tugging right there with 20 other people in the room, and announce loudly, “You know, they really don’t like each other, she’s faking her orgasm, and almost certainly doesn’t like having that many cocks in her ass”.

It’s sad that people won’t watch ‘300′ and go to the library and read some books on what really happened; I bemoan our society’s lack of intellectual desire. But the movie still fucking rocked, even if you know all the history.
