One wonders what sort of prostitute they would fuck with :confused:

Remember, these are fan-boys were talking about. They have very little clue what to do with a woman in the first place.

:p

I used to be told the stories of Leonidas by old_old_old Greek doods & the widow of Michael Ventris...nothing in the film I thought was beyond possibility. :cool:

Can you imagine coming up against someone wearing the Sutton Hoo helmet though? I'd be too busy cracking up to fight... Weellll, ok - it might look a bit different with 180lbs of Anglo-Saxon warrior behind it but still.

Ever though about how bizarre it would be facing our ancestors? by all accounts vicious warriors whether Greek, Saxon or whatever but, on average, much shorter than us... Have a look at some of the helmets in the British museum, surprisingly small. Would be an incredibally surreal (and probably very painful) experience.

Nah, it's from a Frank Miller comic so no heemasexing going on (seriously, cna you imagine that going down well with his fan base of 15 or mental age of 15 year old boys who lurve a bit of fantasy ultraviolence), altho I would suspect it's alluded to...altho apparently all the CGId 6 packs and muscles 'are definitely not camp'...
Weird. I was just about to write that very post but the phone rang and I deleted the "I seriously doubt it as it wouldn't..." and posted as is.

interestinge...if you are into that sorta thang...it's worth looking into the myths and legends of Cornwall & the lost Atlantians versus the archaeological evidence that the original inhabitants down'ere were Iberian orignated nomads and large(The Giants)...and were eventual outsted by the hill dwelling Celts(who were a much Indo_Chino, smaller race..The Piskies) who were effectively exiled here after the main contingent had sacked Delphi and then went onto move thru Europa in a three pronged movement...to Germano-Scandanavia, Gaul & down to Iberia itself. Then the Anglo_Saxons came thru form the East etc etc etc


gaaaaawd I wish I had another lifetime to go through learning all this again...properly. :(

In my experience when people describe themselves as Persians it's because they want to distance themselves from the fundamentalism of hte current regime...

Or because they fear that people's perceptions of Iran are negative and 'Persia' seems more romantic?
 
Insult to Persian civilisation . . . . oh, do grow up, Iran. As if they don't plunder the past, rewrite history and ignore facts for your own political ends anyway.

Well it's not as if Iran doesn't deserve the negative connotations...

Ime it tends to be older Iranians who describe themselves as Persian anyway (ie before Iran was the latest enemy), exiles or the children of exiles who wanted to, as RD said, distance themselves from the Islamist government.

Perhaps they could have got it in that it was a time travelling good-ole-boy who went back and cracked the Persians enigma machine code?

Ah sorry, it's an ART film. As you were.

I suppose the brit equivalent would be Lawrence of Arabia: empire lad assists feckless wogs against homo turks.

Although Lawrence did tell several stories about being gang raped by Arabs.
 
Whatever, he went back for more. If we'd have let Attaturks lads sort out Iraq, rather than letting the Lawrence twat in there, probably wouldn't be in this shit today. We could always have knicked the oil back off Turkey in exchange for EU membership.

S'what happens when you open a subsidised bar in the Foreign Office. Policy goes to fuck during the afternoon.
 
Premiere was a good laugh. No after-party but fuck it, got to meet Lena Headey. :cool:

One for the wank bank innit... ;)

Those Young Turks certainly went to town in Armenia.
 
Pre Atat^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^urk. Just. So that's what happens when you try for an U oomlaut on a Frog Keyboard. Yurp eh?

This is like listening to someone who is halfway through a transmogrification process from amphibian to human.
 
Please leave my thread alone now, :( I know its just a burnt out shell of what it once was, sitting on a pile of bricks where its wheels used to be. I know inside it, it smells of pee and cum, and there's a tatty picture of Lena Headey stuck to the dashboard, I can see where the the fan-boys have been taking pot shots whith there air rifles at the windows. I understand no one cares about Iran, or global never ending war, or US propoganda, I see that this film has nothing to do with 'cultural terrorism', and everything to do with ripping off just a few more pennys from everyone around the world, and I see that I am just a grumpy old man.

So please, leave it alone now.

Yes?
 
I care about the Iranian people, but I don't give a fuck about the Iranian government.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can certainly fuck off, a bit of Russian poison would be the best option for that cunt.

HOI! I object to being called a fanboy!

Just ask yourself, and all the people who have written about this so far...

Did any of you write this criticism while it was only a comic? The Persians are pretty much portrayed in the same way in that you know...

I'd save your outrage for the new Hollywood blockbuster, 'Honey, Korean Paedos Ate My Gundog.'
 
You should visit the cinema for this one, no ropey download will do it justice...
 
Is it that good is it? Its still burning after tp fucked the last DVD up by opening a new window :s
