After all These Years I STILL Hate this Movie (and Graphic Novel)

Описание: This is an "old fashioned" rant about a silly movie that irks me in a very unserious, inconsequential way. Just want to over-think and "vent" about, you know?

Back in 2006/07 when I first watched 300 I was really annoyed by how it butchered ancient history, although technically I can't blame the movie for that, but rather Frank Miller's graphic novel. Either way there are some bizarre choices that, even though I'm more chill these days, still feel kind of irritating.

Funnily enough this started with wanting to make a video about the Corinthian helmet, and then somehow getting reminded of the existence of the armorless "Chippendale Spartans" who don't understand how unit cohesion works. xD
