"Meet the Spartans is a 2008 spoof comedy film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, writers of the poorly received Epic Movie, and is due for release on January 25, 2008 by 20th Century Fox. It spoofs at least eight films, and it also attempts to parody George W. Bush, Lindsay Lohan, American Idol 's Sanjaya Malakar, Ryan Seacrest, Kevin Federline, and Britney Spears.[1]"

kill yourself, hollywood

Man, this writer's strike is really starting to get annoying.

12/27/2007 7:45:48 PM

that could have been funny, in theory, if it was merely a 300 type spoof and wasnt all over the place

12/27/2007 7:47:04 PM

I remember listening to Howard Stern (back in ~mid Oct) and Arite Lange was up for the role of the main spartan at one point but the writers went in a different direction.

But seriously, I wonder how the hell they'll fit in Ghostrider and that token black guy into a cohesive story.

people laughed at the previews for this in the theater.

i was disgusted.

They were probably worried him having to stand up for more than 3 fucking seconds in costume uniform might cause him to have an aneurysm on the spot.

12/27/2007 9:36:56 PM

The 300 is already hilarious as it is

12/27/2007 9:49:15 PM

Oooh, parodying G.W. Bush.

How fucking EDGY can they be?

12/27/2007 9:49:30 PM

I thought they already did Paris in Epic Movie? Everyone gets to make one joke about her at least ONCE, but geez, come up with another celebrity to write jokes about.

Is that the fat guy from Borat?

12/28/2007 3:08:41 AM

this will probably be one of the better movies in 2008

aaaaaaand there's carmen electra of course

12/28/2007 11:25:19 AM

Hahaha I remember when I was like 14 I used to think she was so hot.

12/28/2007 11:29:26 AM

I clicked on this thinking it was an adaptation of the SNL skit...and thought that would be pretty bad.

12/28/2007 11:42:13 AM

My friend already spoofed 300, and I promise its way funnier than this load of crap. His spoof is called 297, and its about the three guys in the back of the line

12/28/2007 12:32:44 PM

WHY THE FUCK DO THEY KEEP MAKING THIS SHIT

I really hope no one goes to see this

12/28/2007 2:23:22 PM

theyre also making a movie called "301"

12/28/2007 2:25:19 PM

i'll probably DL it and watch it and laugh at parts of it

12/28/2007 3:11:56 PM

Looks absolutely fucking horrid.

12/28/2007 4:28:16 PM

looks about like any other Scary Movie Epic Movie Not Another Teen Movie Scary Movie 4 modern day pseudo Naked Gun Airplane laugh fest

if you're looking for a serious movie, don't look for this one but if you want some cheap laughs whats so bad about movies like this

at least a movie like this is coming right out and letting you know its just a comedy, as opposed to some movie that is supposed to be all monumental and groundbreaking but ends up sucking just as much

movies like this have their niche

12/28/2007 4:32:23 PM

Airplane and Naked Gun where great because they didn't have to make a pop culture reference in every joke. For the most part it was original comedy.

12/28/2007 4:36:46 PM

i agree and none of the current movies of that 'every line and scene is a joke' genre can hold a candle to those, but again its not like Meet The Spartans is SUPPOSED to be a great movie, just something that will probably have some really fucking stupid parts, and some really funny parts

some shit to throw on at 1am with a few beverages in your system

The existence of this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the writers strike.

i never saw epic movie, but i saw date movie, and it had me laughing a few times

12/28/2007 5:21:41 PM

That's true but the greenlighting of more scripts because they aren't fine tuned yet will become higher and cause crappier movies to get the go ahead.

I guess my question to this is... if you KNOW you're not going to make a great movie, you KNOW you're going to make a movie with some mostly "really fucking stupid parts", you're a piece of shit movie studio and you pander to idiots with money.

And if you watch a movie EXPECTING to have to sit through some really fucking stupid parts then you're just fucking retarded and should give me your money instead. I'll kick you in the balls but then I'll give you a lollipop.

12/28/2007 7:42:48 PM

there are plenty of fat idiots with small penii that would get kicked in the balls for a lollipoop though

Unless this movie was "written" and filmed within the last month the writers that are currently on strike wrote this. Considering everything that is "spoofed" is stuff that was popular a year ago makes me lean toward thinking that this wasn't cranked out in a month.

All the more reason to hope they stay on strike long enough for an entire Hollywood reboot.

12/29/2007 12:32:34 PM

i'll watch it

i won't pay to watch it though

12/29/2007 12:46:07 PM

I can already sum this movie up in one word: meh.

12/29/2007 1:18:29 PM

honestly most things are meh now a days anyways

12/29/2007 1:20:25 PM

Oh God

this looks worse than Epic Movie

Which I didn't actually watch, but I sat through over half of Date Movie before I had to turn that crap off. I did not laugh one time.

Seems like every move in this "genre" is getting worse. The first Scary Movie was pretty good, Not Another Teen Movie was alright, Scary Movie 2 was meh, and after that it's been all downhill.

12/30/2007 2:04:20 PM

Epic Movie isn't worth downloading for free.

12/30/2007 2:11:18 PM

torrents are online...i've got i queued up, we'll see how it is

just an fyi for all the people who like to laugh, and of course for the haters

1/24/2008 6:07:39 PM

i bet it sucks, with one maybe two funny parts

1/24/2008 7:37:24 PM

im glad its coming out tomorrow....so it can go ahead and bomb and they can stop cranking out commercials during every commercial break of every channel i watch

1/24/2008 7:42:02 PM

i kindof hope that all celebritys attached to this end up only able to do local cable work and that every print of the film melts on the projector. i think i'd rather watch that new queen latifa and katie holmes movie twice in a row than watch this.

1/24/2008 9:54:39 PM

^^ take another look at that poster. Paris is there too.

I really hope everyone connected to this movie dies in a fire. A fire that hopefully destroys all copies of the film as well.

1/24/2008 11:05:45 PM

why does this movie deserve a thread?

1/24/2008 11:20:11 PM

#1 at the box office this weekend


america,

1/27/2008 6:55:25 PM

What is wrong with you people? This movie is hilarious from the previews. Its my kind of movie, with Airplane, Naked Gun, Kung Pow, Scary Movie1-4, Date Movie, Epic Movie etc.

1/27/2008 9:17:48 PM

except that all of those movies exist already, and spoofing is getting almost as old as page 1.
