"In Iran, the movie hasn't opened and probably never will, given the government's restrictions on Western films, though one paper said bootleg DVDs were already available."

Complaining about something they're not supposed to see in the first place. I wonder if Amonkeydinnerjacket hung his cultural advisor for viewing it after he complained.

There was also a bit of bare flesh in the film & the viewing by the cultural adviser brings to mind the accidental TV broadcast of an X-rated film years ago. The television station's phone lines were jammed with complaints, soon as the film was *over*.

The key Persians were played by black actors, so I'm kinda waiting for complaints by the usual race card players, since there's no ability to claim it was due to historical accuracy.
