    I think it's not the amount of nudity, but the quality. Starship Troopers had the perfect amount of nudity, IMHO.

    So, this time we'll have strippers that come on to the stage in lingerie then put on more clothing? Brilliant, Frank, real "thinking out of the box" there.

    I could care less if the film was two hours of a closeup of Jessica Alba's lady bits. I'm not going to go see anything Frank Miller is attached to. That man has burned any and all bridges with me.

    *spoken in action preview guy's voice*


    in the year 480 BC 300 brave spartans weathered the assault of 80,000 persians often reported as numbering the millions for three days.


    in the year 2001 AD 11 brave con-artisits defrauded the Bellagio vault of over 150 million dollars in cash assests.


    in the summer of 2009 these 300 spartans, with the help of some british guy that time travels with a sonic socket wrench of some sort, will meet these 11 men, julia roberts, and andy garcia. together they will travel through space and time to face a threat so improbable al gore actually made a movie about it...

    How is Frank going to do an Over-The-Top sequel to the Over-The-Top 300 anyway?


    He pretty much dialed it up to 11 on:

    1) Homo eroticism

    2) Historical Inaccuracy

    3) Slo-Mo killing

    4) Bombastic Speeches

    5) Use of cripples/deformed

    Am I the only one who thinks The Spirit would have been a success if they just called it Sin City 2? There would have been some plotc/character changes, but all the messing Frank Miller did to the source material to make it more like Sin City would have actually made sense.

SPARTA'S ACTUAL ARMY NOW THAT OUR POLITICS HAVE CLEARED UP THE WHOLE SCOUT FORCE SHENANIGANS AND WE CAN FINALLY SEND OUT, YOU KNOW, A REAL PLATOON." I think I just ruined the whole sequel.

    @dubsar: Let's be fair--it was based on a comic that had nothing to do with history, which was, in turn, based on a story that had only a loose association with history in the first place. Herodotus is technically the "Father of History," but he basically just wrote down anything that he heard from two different sources.


    Herodotus was the only one with pretensions to history, anyway.
