Before 300

One of the trailers on the manly atheist 300 DVD was for The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster. Another, better trailer can be found here. Not only is it a weird role for Foster, but take a look at the director: Neil Jordan? Since I'm a huge fan of his, and of Foster, I might have to go see this one. And has Jodie done something different with her hair?

300 versus...

this. Take your pick.

It moves me.

I think there is a general consensus - 300 is just incredible (a fine movie site btw). I thought I'd bring together some of our links:
Tobermory's History of Thermopylae
Victor Davis Hanson's Movie Book Intro
VDH With Your Shield or On It column
VDH's lengthier analysis - Last Night at the 300
All glory goes to Tobermory for these links.
