Whilst I (and numerous critics/academics before us) would agree with your analysis of 300, I think you have to be careful to separate the ideology of the film from the production process itself.

I was fortunate enough to see 300 on an IMax screen (which are enormous if you've never seen an IMAX film) and was blown away by the spectacular visuals in the film. I have no desire to see the film again, especially on a TV screen, but to dismiss the film entirely because of its hegemonic transmissions is to do it a great disservice, in my opinion.

Does anyone remember a t. v. series from the sixties called Big Breadwinner Hog? Ithink Richard Egan had his first starring role in that. I had a crush on him back then.

I've just watched Mike Leigh's film 'All Or Nothing'. The man is a genius. His body of work in the future will portray the Britain of today, just as Dickens did in the nineteenth century with his books.

Grotesque, dark, sad and funny. Pure brilliance.

I first watched his work when I was fifteen in 1980, when the BBC showed a retrospective of his earlier television plays, including 'Abigail's Party' and 'Nuts in May'.

'Life is Sweet', 'Secrets and Lies', 'Vera Drake', I've never seen one of his films that didn't thrill me. The ensemble of actors he uses have deservedly received their Oscar nominations, and prizes from all the major film festivals.

All that and he's northerm too, can't be bad. Classic British film making.

Alan Clarke's 'Rita, Sue and Bob Too' is an absolute classic.

I remember myself and Slinky quoting many memorable scenes in the chatroom late one night.

All together now...

'We're havin' a gangbang, we're havin' a ball...'

He was probably using his fingers to make little slitty eyes, so couldn't see the keyboard properly.
