>PS. Personally I'm still pumped for the movie, even though that does mean Leonidas will become a less open account name. Sigh. So be the times;)
Wha wha what? The first 'Leonidas' might be taken up within the first weeks of the movie, but I think it will have a great chance to join the hallowed ranks of such great names as Gand0lf3665. ;)
On the movie, I think it's a Frank Miller story, that is you sort of know what to expect, since Miller writes and draws in that Miller hardboiled style a lot whether it's trenchcoat, cape, or toga. That isn't always bad though, since many artist strive for a distinct style or voice.
And that's what should be kept in mind, Miller used a lot of artistic license. And it does say in the fine print of that license that historical truth and accuracy will not be an obstacle to story telling.:)
