Frank Miller Gets Sent Up
There are a lot of people who owe a LOT of their careers to parodying Frank Miller. Exhibit A: Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Now, sadly, it looks like the movies are following suit.
We are not particularly proud to present Meet The Spartans, starring (left to right) Carmen Electra, Diedrich Bader, and Kevin Sorbo. Brought to you by the same people who bring you Scary Movies, I suspect that the only surprise in the film is what you see in this photo: that Diedrich Bader actually has a six pack.
We’re going to just recommend you save the price of a ticket and ninety minutes of your life and go watch United 300 instead:
Oh man, that may be hard to pass up when it comes 'round on the tube about a month after its theatrical release. I mean really, Kevin Sorbo AND Dietrich Bader? Bader is such an underrated comic actor, and Sorbo has exactly the right amount of cheese-cred and self-sardonicism to pull this off.
Go look at the trailer. I suspect you'll have the sense of character to avoid the movie.
Interesting that the men are dressed more skimpily than the woman. It's a nice change of pace.
