To help with the "mouse hoverers" out there, i'll quote some Edgar Allan oe:
"These trifles are collected and republished chiefly with a view to their redemption from the many improvements to which they have been subjected while going at random "the rounds of the press." I am naturally anxious that what I have written should circulate as I wrote it, if it circulate at all. In defence of my own taste, nevertheless, it is incumbent upon me to say that I think nothing in this volume of much value to the public, or very creditable to myself. Events not to be controlled have prevented me from making, at any time, any serious effort in what, under happier curcumstances, would have been not a purpose, but a passion; and the passions should be held in reverence; they must not - they cannot at will be excited, with an eye to the paltry compensations, or the more paltry commendations of mankind."
Now then, meet the spartans:

It had tons of potential, especially to the first battle point, but then it just went on and on. Too many references, when the movie would've had plenty of haha moments to be twisted. It starts with a promie of many laughs, but ends up in tears really.
Good idea, nice parts, but spoiled by overusing pop references and longwinded jokes. Had potential, sadly not used. 3out of 5 nutkicks.
