How Thespian

Certain Iranians are upset about the depiction of Persians in the movie 300, not to mention Ephraim Lytle, an assistant professor of hellenistic history at University of Toronto who states that 300 is an “abuse of history.”

I reference both of these caterwaulers to a quote about movie making uttered by Alfred Hitchcock.

The cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.

I thought the cake was very good, but, if you’re looking for something more than dessert, may I recommend something a bit more academic.
