300!


I just got back from seeing this epic film and am so pumped I want to train right now! Amazing film, I loved it. Like a triple cross between Braveheart, Gladiator and Sin City, lol! It has ana amzing look to it and Zack Synder did an incredible job of translating Frank Miller's graphic novel to the big screen. I will buy this and watch it many times; great pre workout movie.

I too am looking forward to seeing it. Alas it will probably have to wait for DVD in my case;).

Have you read Heroditus' "The Histories"? It gives a really great account of the true history of the battle, among many other great historical accounts of the time.
