I saw 300 today, and while I was impressed with the cinamatography (it looked, for all the world, like someone was holding up a graphic novel in front of my face while narrating the story to me), it left me a bit cold. It really could have used more nipples. And the sex scenes were not sufficiently gratuitous.
Oh, and the other problem. If you liked the willful misinterpretation of March of the Penguins, you’ll love the potential for the same in 300.
I too was disappointed in the lack of sufficient nipple.
I’m told that, historically speaking, the Spartans, before they made their last stand, wanted to die clean, so they stripped down and oiled each other up. Unfortunately, the spectacle of hundreds of naked men rubbing oil on each other didn’t make the final cut.
I thought the heavy-metal soundtrack worked well, though.

Which is just tragic, because that’s pretty much all it was missing.
