Some of my favorite review quotes were...

"'I am the God-King,' said Xerxes, 'and I have the gold-encrusted Speedo and the encyclopedic knowledge of the lyrics of Guys and Dolls to prove it!'"

and

"Fills a much-needed gap between gay porn and recruitment film."

I didn't really think it was all that homo-erotic but your statement "... but show a little male flesh and it's homoerotic" is - considering the fetishization of the Spartans' maleness and their look and costumes - a bit disingenuous.

The idea that the film-makers dressed them like they did (and had them get buffed up like they did) without having a sense of that potential is a little silly to me.

And, intentional or not Xerxes did come across like a big (literally and figuratively) queen. I don't know how anyone involved with the film wouldn't have noticed that immediately.

P.S. I enjoyed the movie. Rousing good fun.

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
