300 DIRECTOR SAYS CARPING CRITICS WERE "FUNNY"

300 director Zack Snyder says he feels no resentment towards the critics who pummeled his movie. "Nah, I love 'em, they were funny," he told Los Angeles Times columnist Patrick Goldstein in today's (Tuesday) edition. "The reviews were so neo-con, so homophobic. They couldn't just go see the movie without trying to over-intellectualize it." Goldstein himself commented, "Sadly, our critics, who seemed content with hooting at 300, have lost touch with what makes movies different from other art forms. Hollywood's mass-audience films are not a literary or an intellectual genre. Never have been, never will be. They are built around visuals and emotion, the two elements that 300 used to capture the public imagination."
