The release of Spartan reminds me of a phone interview I had once upon a time with a guy who wanted me to direct his play:

ME: So which playwrights do you like?

HIM: Oh, I really like David Mamay.

ME: You mean David Mamet?

HIM: No, I think it’s Mamay.

ME: What’s your favorite play of his?

HIM: Oleanna.

ME: Uh huh.

Dude, at least pick Glengarry Glen Ross.
