Still haven't seen 300. Still don't intend that to keep me from talking about it.
I wonder if there isn't a good comparative in Wagner. Great stuff, bombastic, silly on many levels, beautifully constructed. Some of the implicit messages, however, are not so great.
I love Flash too, and it is great camp. But when they made the movie, they had the good sense to take the lion's share of the Yellow Fear anti-Asian crap out of the old strip.
