i don't recall any homophobia in 300. i could possibly see where someone could read the kicking-the-messenger-into-the-bottomless-pit scene as racist but the Spartans themselves came off even worse, in my opinion. They came off as unintelligent belligerent pigs that would gladly do extremely stupid stupid things to protect their pride instead of using their common sense. All in the name of freedom.

Cruel, you have a point, there, but I don't really see any evidence in the movie that the filmmakers want us to have any kind of critical reaction to what the Spartans are doing. We're just supposed to cheer them on as they go around posing to show off their abs and pecs while slashing throats and severing limbs and dumping their physically unsuitable infants into a ravine. The movie is pretty wildly pro-Spartan.

I'll probably see I NOW PRONOUCE YOU..., but like some of you, I'll probably rent it. It's one movie where I know the audience will piss me off here in Dallas, Texas.

Right you are, Roscoe. Hence why 300 is a horrible horrible horrible movie.
