With all the guff about 300, I've wondered if I'd be interested in watching a somewhat broader and less glamourised depicition of the Spartans on film.
But then I think that anybody that looks forward to spending two hours watching a bunch of murderous, oppressive, bigoted, infanticidal pederasts probably needs to be on a database somewhere.
Like many, I was at a youngish age when I was seduced by all that faux-noble military claptrap that tends to dominate popular representations of the Spartan mirage. As time passed, I discovered that I really didn't like them at all.
And then they became *really* interesting.
Stew.
