Just another reason why I adore GB

From a pre-Oscar article in The Observer:

The very next night, however, waves were made at a screening of 300... 300's Director Zach Snyder attempted to give a balanced (if somewhat evasive) response to accusations of trying to incite American to invade Iran when the crazed viewer yelled, "You must have said 'Persian' a hundred times." At which point Gerard Butler, star of the film growled with hybrid Scottish/Spartan insouciance: "That's because they were fucking Persians."

(emphasis mine)

Love him!

Heheh, indeed.

Man, the wank alone this movie causes makes me want to see it!

Really. I know I will be watching it in order to spot the Bush propaganda promoting an invasion of Iran instead of all the hot men in leather thongs. *g*

The man doesn't hold back his opinions which I think is wonderful. Too many actors toe the pc/polite line.

I love that man. He says fuck tact and tells it like it is. ;)

Yep, he likes to say just what he thinks, and with all the falseness of Hollywood and movie stars, I just love that about him.

He's bloody damn right, he is!

I'm going to watch this movie more than once just for spite, I tell you - NOT everything is about US politics, UHMPF. Besides, I want to ogle the pretty half-naked men *GG*

We like GB, we do, preciousssss, we do. :D

Yep, hot men in leather thongs are a marvellous reason for seeing this movie! *g* But apart from that, even though my inner-historian is bound to cringe at things, and I'll have to remind myself that this is Frank Miller's own vision of the Battle, I'm going for the historical aspect as well.

The intrusion of American politics never occurred to me, and probably wouldn't have unless I hadn't seen the wank about it. So much word that not everything is about the US and Bush.

Let's hope he never changes!! :D
