[RacerX]

Yeah, I watched that too. The actors portraying the Spartans looked Greek, and the dude playing Xerxes looked Arab, so nyah Norton!

[PowerTube]

Well, someone likes it. It's grossed $70 Million so far. I'll wait until it comes out on VHS.

Yeah, and you can buy the soundtrack on 72 rpm vinyl!

Seeing as how that whole movie was done on computers, I guess you are right. "I'm Spartacus" The VHS crack was a joke, son.

No,he just looked gay

[Norton]

I think you need to get your facts straight before you post there, Turkey

Patrick Sabongui (Persian General) is of Egyptian descent. Rodrigo Santoro (Xerxes) is Brazilian.

Also, the ancient Persian empire covered more than what is now Iran.

I meant most of them.Of course I didn't browse imdb and learned about every one of the actors' ethnichity.Actually I don't care


Most of the "evil soldiers" were african americans.That's what I meant




And I'm saying it again.Xerxes was totally gay

[Endrik]

sounds like the bullshit film Memoirs of a Geisha, most of the actors were Chinse and the whole concept was so fucking wrong

Well, they looked more Greek than Colin Farrell, Brad Pitt and Eric Bana, that's for sure, but this guy too was a Brit I believe.

I laugh when people get hung up on historical accuracy. They're speaking English with British accents, for chrissakes!!

Although, according to the histories of the time, Spartans were known to be blonde.

I thought that movie was about the Chinese women made into Geishas in 1937?!! So it would make sense that they were Chinese, no?

it was? where did you heard that?? there's a big difference between a street whore and a geisha, few had the privilege to become a geisha, Chinese at that time definetly weren't in a "good position"

I look more Greek than all of them




Seriously.

Greek chicks have huge tits

I got my WW2 Geisha books mixed up. I was thinking of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Tent-Orange-Mi.../dp/0879517921

By the way, the Japanese were pretty good at turning both Chinese and Korean girls into Geishas. They'd seek out the female children of well-heeled educated families, and turn them out.

The book I just cited begins with a real article from the New York Times on the subject.

[Endrik]

geishas or prostitutes?

[danastas]

Geishas.

This is what the woman is in the book. She's trained as a Geisha by a Japanese general. She takes part in a Japanese tea time ceremony, where she provides the copro for the phagy.

Under her are the comfort women.
