Ah, all of those things are funny. I really feel like I don't need to see the movie at all now, culturally speaking. I think it was particularly telling that your (hilarious) m15m was like, four sentences long...:) Not meaty, except for the actual meat, I guess. Of which there seems to have been a lot.

My BF told me he read that the guy who played Leonidas spent the first day walking around the set in costume thinking "I'm King Leonidas, I'm King Leonidas" over and over, because otherwise, he felt a little ridiculous.
