*History lesson in general is/can be such a bore; really it can be unless you have such an imagination like mine. When I found out that they were doing a remake on the 300 Spartan soilders the first person that came to mind was sexy Yul Brynner (rip) as King Leonidas*
So this Battle of Thermopylae takes place a really bloody long time ago I say four hundred-something something B.C. *Before Christ* …
Unions of Greek cities are fighting the Persian army in the pass of Thermopylae. Obviously you know their outnumbered but no worries; the Greeks are pretty damn smart.

*I expect to see some knife in heart scenes as well*
This man as a writer never disappoints; with the direction of Zack Snyder (with the movie Dawn of the Dead under his wings) let's hope 300 is as clear as the night we drink the blood of a human
*yeah that sound so out there but hey this is my history lesson let me
write it*
