Several days ago I saw an episode of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart where he was talking about how Iran is angry about the movie 300. There's a clip that Stewart introduces as "Jews!" at about the 3:01 minute mark of this video clip. If you watch the clip. You can see two bespectacled men in suits and hear one of them say, "When you're ready for some real management, you come see us. I've got a first cousin; he's top shelf." I think this movie is by Universal Studios, because of the word "UNIVERSAL" shown at the top left corner of the film clip. What is the name of this movie? If there is more than one movie that has the same title as this one and is also by Universal, please tell me the date so I can differentiate it. Thanks-- Xandiar 03:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I've seen the movie 300 and it was great.But what I did'nt like about it was the depiction of persians as diabolical and inhuman savages who dont hesitate to kill even their own people.Did all the 299 of the men die due to a traitor (the severely deformed hunchback whom Leonidas rejects when he wants to join the army) or were they simply outnumbered.Really saying the Persians looked like jokers when they were killed like "Rats" by the Spartans who were armed only with spears and shields.Can't the Hollywood make a more fair film? 210.212.215.141 06:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Prosemite
The Spartans and Thespians were sorely outnumbered (Herodotus) and would have perished anyway. The battle of Thermopylae served mainly as means to delay the Persian army and secondarily cause as many casualties as possible. Ephialtes, as a Greek who seriously undermined both aims earned the additional distinction of having his name mean "nightmare" in Greek vocabulary. IIRC Herodotus also says that Xerxes ordered many of his dead soldiers' bodies dragged away, so that the morale of his army wouldn't suffer. 87.202.100.3 14:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, you are right. I did mean Brigitt Bardot. Thanks for the Information.
What I really wanted to know is about the songs she sang in English. I remember one of them refering to some thing to do in the sun. Like holiday in the sun or some thing like that. Also how do I lay may hands on the lyrics and a recording to these 2 songs. I also remember one sung in French. I was too young to comprehend what it was all bout!
Many, many thanks!

I just bought a new CodeBreaker for my Nintendo DS, and it only works with one of my games, and when it does it causes all sorts of glitches. When I try to use it with other games, the codes just don't work or it won't let me start the game. Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there something wrong with my DS? Is there something wrong with the CodeBreaker? Thank you. :-) Ilikefood 14:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, never mind. Trading it in for an Action Replay DS, which everyone says is so much better. Ilikefood 14:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC) (but if someone could tell me why it wasn't working that would be great anyway, thanks. I'm just curious, I guess...)
What was the theme song of the 50's TV series Big Town on CBS and later NBC? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kgbac ( talk • contribs) 21:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
So, poker is obviously huge in the James Bond series. With Casino Royale coming out I have to wonder - does the style of poker shown in the James Bond movies of the era change with the type of poker games people are playing. For example, in the most recent film much of the action takes place during a Texas hold-em game. - AMP'd 21:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
