It's easy to place the veneer of modern events over it and look at the similarities, but that's why allegories thrive in storytelling. Yes, "V" was updated to include Iraq war references and causalities not favorable to the US. That direct type of issue injection would be very hard to introduce into "300" given the subject matter. Plus Frank Miller is not fond of changing his work much when translating it from written / drawn page to film.sonicfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243418673004541047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19635991.post-39354634389883716332007-03-05T22:46:00.000-05:002007-03-05T22:46:00.000-05:00Another interesting view of Spartan relationships,...Another interesting view of Spartan relationships, <A HREF="http://elysiumgates.com/~helena/Women.html" REL="nofollow">with all genders</A>Citizen Deuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425085335850663316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19635991.post-64907939087597670412007-03-05T19:48:00.000-05:002007-03-05T19:48:00.000-05:00Um, well here is some historical facts to bone up ...Um, well here is some historical facts to bone up on.

When I heard Drudge wander down this path I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. But then he played an audio clip from Missy Hillary. The Sonic-Mate had to rush me to the hospital, 'cause I do declare y'all, I split my gut sideways listening to her effect something that was 'sposed to be a southern accent!sonicfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243418673004541047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19635991.post-36003001097377318372007-03-05T00:18:00.000-05:002007-03-05T00:18:00.000-05:00Don't forget to mention that just like Sparta, eve...Don't forget to mention that just like Sparta, everyone in the American Armed Forces has a warrior/lover.
