Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie myself, if for no better reason than the "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!!!!" meme. ^_^

Seriously, though, I can sort of understand where he's coming from. On the one hand, Frank Miller's comic book gets the big Hollywood treatment, but Pressfield's best-selling novel doesn't even get an outside shot. It would be kind of like somebody putting Donna Barr's Desert Peach into production while giving a solid biography of Erwin Rommel a pass because it wasn't colorful enough. Or something.

Icon chosen for its Spartan goodness. ;)
