Yes, because not everyone reads every single post about the 300 in every single forum.

Boy aren't we a stickler to details. Spartans wore armor too. The Spartans in the movie did not. The immortals didn't have Dr. Doom masks. How could he have made such a mistake describing the veil they wore with iron masks that never existed?

Were those Katanas? Did they have curved blades? I thought they were straight blades more commonly found in wakisashi or ninja-to. Did you just confuse a katana with a wakisashi? Let's say they have curved blades. Did they have sharkskin handles commonly found on katanas? If not, they aren't katanas. Let's get really technical here.

The tanks in Battle of the Bulge were inaccurate. The Germans used Patton tanks and the Americans used Chaffees. None of those soldiers mentioned that the Germans were using something other than Panzer III, IV, and Tigers. How could they not?

You need to learn about what exaggeration and drama is. I love technical details. But sometimes we just have to say OK this is a movie. The sarge in Resident Evil carried an HK G36 rifle but the computer displayed a graphic of the HK MP5 during the threat analysis. It's a mistake.

We know what you're trying to do here. You're Persian and offended that your people were portrayed as weird looking barbarians. We know you're offended. We also know Persians don't look like that. Just sit down and enjoy a movie. Scream and whine about it will only make you look stupid.

Being able to laugh at yourself will earn far more respect from others than to constantly complain about how you're treated. Every post you make drives my respect for you down a notch.
