Haha! I think all your comments about 300 are fair. I did enjoy it, but then I do find barechested fascists sexy, I'm afraid. *g* I've looked briefly through the graphic novel and I think you're right about the bits that were added. They certainly didn't make the film an alternative, and possibly BETTER piece of work than the book, which is what an adaptation should aspire to.

Glad you enjoyed Grindhouse though!
