Troy in 15 (very funny) minutes

After the sixth hour of Troy, the new Arm Pitt Men in Skirts epic, I started to remember just how friggin' big that copy of the Iliad I had was. Big. Big, big book. Loooong movie.

So it's a good thing that this blogger has produced a Troy-in-fifteen-minutes abridgement. You know, I like it as much as the original!

AGAMEMNON: Look, there's no reason for me to slaughter thousands of your men. You pick out your best soldier, and I pick out mine.
KING OF THESSALY: Deal. [turns to his army] SOME GUYYYYY!
THESSALIAN ARMY: SOME! GUY! SOME! GUY! SOME! GUY!
Some Guy breaks through the crowd. His neck resembles an Easter ham and his spear is the size of a telephone pole.
SOME GUY: RAAAAAAAAA!
AGAMEMNON [turning to his army]: ACHILLEEEEEES!
GREEK ARMY: . . .
AGAMEMNON: . . .
Hut of Wanton Nudity, Some Village
BOY: OMG Achilles you're late you gotta get up Achilles OMG!
ACHILLES: Dude, I just nailed twins. Call me in the morning.
