In Reply to: Have you read the graphic novel? posted by Analog Scott on December 2, 2006 at 12:16:13:
I saw the "300" trailer, and I almost barfed at what they've done to Spartan warrior legacy. Those were real people, not some LOTR fantasy nonsense. If you can say "graphic novel" without a smirk, you've officially been dumbed down. What's the next step in this great cultural leap? Historically-inspired tatoos and lip piercings?
