Somewhat confused - the implication is that the tartan is not "manly" enough for a movie like 300.

Yeah... Tartans are manly. I actually prefer tartans to solid colors.

Ok Gents,

Lets not turn this into a tartan vs. solid debate.

PS: Jay, how was the movie.

I just saw 300 last night. With the exception of the always needless nude scene, the movie was, in my opinion, an awesome guy movie. I can't imagine my wife liking it, but I loved it.

yea the movie was amazing and it stuck primarily to the written account of the battle of themopolea although in the real battle leonias wa killed and a fight insued for the body with the spartans and persians going back and forth killing eachother. I give the movie two thumbs up

If I wear my tartan, I wear a jacket, and dress shoes, and my horse hair sporran. A gentlemans ensamble if that is the correct way to word it. With my utilikilt, leather jacket, and seasoned desert combat footwear, I thought it more of a casual/rugged look. I think I remember a note about Scots wearing a canvas wrap around their kilt during the great war, if I can make the analogy.

The movie was awesome, and I agree on two other notes, that the nude scenes were quite unnecessary, and the battle scene for the Kings body would have been an awesome addition to the movie. I watched the History channel version tonight (10 March) with the chidlren and that was almost as good as 300
