Fun With Leonidas

Leonidas’ catch-phrase from 300, “Tonight we dine in Hell!” belongs up there with other classic lines from swords-and-sandals epics such as Gladiator’s “At my signal, unleash Hell!” or this gem from Conan the Bararian:

Mongol General: What is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

I will never tire of that one.

Back to 300: the movie lends itself well to Photoshoppery and lampooning, as this selection of images (taken mostly from this collection) shows…


To get this joke, you need to have seen the 1976 movie Network:



Of all the photos, this one — which mixes the 300 meme with the funny-pictures-of-cats meme — was the one that made me laugh out loud:

  • Between all those stunningly over-muscled, depilated men and those impossibly white and symmetric Hollywood teeth, that's one scary-looking movie!

  • Just for reference, the cat picture is also a reference to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Three references in one! :)

  • Conan, of course, is just repeating his mentor, the greatest conqueror the world has ever seen:

    "The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." -- Genghis Khan
