Hollywood Ponders 300

I meet with some Hollywood movers and shakers. We are here to discuss a script that I have written and how to get it off the ground, but invariably the conversation has turned to the huge and "unexpected" box-office success of 300.

A powerful Hollywood Agent says: "My girlfriend dragged me to see it 'cause all the guys are so buff."

"That was so totally an 'Ab Filter', and lazily applied," chimes in a Studio Suit, "didn't you notice, all the six-packs are exactly the same."

A Powerful Producer theorizes: "My kids say it's like the greatest video game ever."

Powerful Producer's Finicky Assistant points out: "The Queen's almost-see-through outfits, the little leather straps. May I just say: Fab-u-lous."

Says a sleek Network Executive. "Actually, it's totally gay porn, all those piercings, so kinky, are you kidding me?" She's clad in an extremely tight Gaultier leather outfit — corseted by a hellishly complicated set of criss-crossing silver buckles. I have no idea how she draws breath.

I should keep my mouth shut.

Do I?

I do not.

"I think audiences are responding to the timeless themes that give meaning to the battle of Thermopylae: the courage of the few against the many; the refusal to submit to tyranny; brave and loyal warriors willing to sacrifice, to die for their country."

Everyone looks at me like I'm the biggest moron in the world.
