Maybe Xerxes is Supposed to be Bush

Well it looks like my boycotting the movie 300 hasn't hurt it at the Box Office.

It looks to be a blockbuster.

And this apparently has certain leftists up in arms.

Why?

Because 300 has the audacity to be just an entertaining action movie with no overt or hidden left-wing political message.

In other words, unlike virtually every other movie to come out of Hollywood over the past five years, it doesn't have an anti-American or anti-Bush subtext.

Almost makes me want to see it despite my squeamishness about the violence.

Or maybe I will do what a friend suggested: wait for the DVD and fast-forward through the gory bits.

Meanwhile here is another take on 300 from Libertas.
