Spartans slaughter leftist critics...
...and the box office, selling out
screenings and tracking for a
$60 million plus opening weekend.
Update:
Deadline
Hollywood Daily is reporting that 300
has passed the
$70 million mark. Holy shit!
300, a stylized version not so much of the Battle of Thermopylae (one of Western
Civilization's finest moments) but of Frank Miller's graphic novel based on
Thermopylae (a distinction important to draw before anyone gets bogged down in
talk of its historical accuracy) is blowing audiences away. I myself doubted a
possible $60 million opening weekend, thinking the tally would be somewhere
between $20 and $40 million. (FYI - It did approximately $27 million on its
opening day)
What was never in doubt was the fact leftist fuckheads would hate the movie and
do their best to bury it - not least because the relationship these leftist
fuckheads will see between Xerxes' Persians and their terrorist allies today.
We all knew leftists would hate the movie, and
Libertas
puts it most eloquently why leftist fuckheads would hate the movie:
Like Spartacus and Ben-Hur, 300 is about bravery, freedom, honor, and country. These are universal themes. But universal themes that will offend liberals because they’re not defended in a PC fashion. Liberals believe bravery is being brave enough to kiss despot hiney in the corrupt UN. Liberals believe freedom is porn in school libraries. Liberals believe honor is leaking national security secrets to the New York Times. Liberals believe ”country” is about everybodys counry but ours, so it’s okay to give mass murderers autographed basketballs and ask them to dance. The men in 300 believe they are good, their families are good, their country is good, and worth dying and fighting for.
That pretty much nailed it.
We all know leftists are morally bankrupt cowards without a single redeeming
quality, so it wasn't hard to predict how they would react when everything they
aren't is shoved in their face and held up as an example to aspire to. It's even
worse when it is based in recorded historical fact. And the leftist critics have
not disappointed.
I will spare you the actual reviews, save to say it is the exact whining, group
masturbation "look how superior we are" load of leftist wank you are probably
expecting.
Go and read the full Libertas
review and don't worry too much about spoilers as we know how it ends.
300 is scheduled for release here on April 5. It was initially advertised as
being rated R18+ for High Level Battle Violence but
on appeal by the distributor has now been rated MA15+ for Strong
Computer-Generated Battle Violence, Death, and War Themes. (Almost all of the
blood in the film is computer generated).
Once again, thanks to the awesome
Refused
Classification website.
Definitely time to start killing some leftists...
