If there was one film crying out for a sequel, it must surely be this one. But shoot, I wasn't complaining :- All in all it was probably the greatest day of my life, and perhaps anyone's life.I was delighted to learn that there was a "Meet the Spartans 2". After a while the exertions of the previous 2 days took their toll and they fell asleep with their precious heads lolling into my unwashed groin. However I do remember my wife and my little boy found it so funny they were too astonished to laugh. I do remember bits of the trailer getting repeated over and over again, but that must have been the hallucinations as well.
For my own part, I was laughing and hollering too much at the little purple animals floating around in the cinema to notice much of the movie. But it was worth it, because when "Meet the Spartans" finally opened we were the only people in the cinema.And what a movie it was! My own memories are a little hazy given the addled state I was in after two days in the street. For two days and nights we struggled on that lonely sidewalk against hunger and thirst and heat and exposure, and towards the end we had to resort to drinking our own urine. I knew we were going to experience a comedy masterpiece on par with "Diff'rent Strokes", "Australia's Funniest Home Videos" or Michael Jackson's cosmetic surgery.I set up camp outside the box office 2 days before tickets went on sale to be sure we got the first tickets accompanied, after a sound thrashing, by my wife and my little boy. Makers who did not need to advertise their greatness, as they could rely on their genius to advertise itself.
