The only reason I did not like Troy is because they made Achilles look like the best, most graceful fighter ever. He was not like that in the book, nothing like that.

Well, in the Iliad he was a whiny, childish, pathetic, momma's boy, who couldn't do anything but fight well. I really didn't like him in it, but since they totally redid his character in Troy AND it's Brad Pitt... I'll let it go..
They Paris and Helen pretty well... I hate 'em both. Oh, and they did a good job with Hektor... I've always loved him.

I saw this movie called Anything You Want on the channel abc family. It was really cute about this chick who has an imaginary boyfriend until her bestfriend's cousin shows intrest in her.

And bizarreness in a movie is always a good thing.
Yeah, and they did Hector really, really good. It was just like him.
I just saw Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Yes! GO SEE IT! NOW! OR ELSE! GO! I really highly recommend it. I mean, as high as I can. If you read the book and didn't like it, go see it. If you read the book and liked it, go see it. If you don't have any idea what it is, go see it. If you have the HGTTG, go see it anyway! AHH! I need to go see it again. And again...

Hitchhikers Guide was really good, but I think you need to read the book first in order to like it. I went with about five people to see it, and out of those five, I was the only one who liked it. I was also the only one who read it.
Yeah, I finished the 6th book just before I went to see it, just in case.
But if you haven't read them, you will still like it. I mean, how many people have read The Illiad? How many people liked Troy...oh, crap, Troy sucked...okay, bad example, but I'll think of something.

I just watched Lemony Snicket's A Serious of Unfortunate Events on DVD. It was pretty good. I've never read the books, but I wasn't too fond of Jim Carrey as Count Olof. I thought the character needed to be more evil and less humorous.
I also watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the second time. It's strange watching it for the second time. Initially, the fun and intrigue of the movie was complete confusion about what was going on! I'm not sure I liked it as much as I did at first, but the plot is still good, and I love Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey as Clementine and Joel. Oh, and Elijah Wood makes one convincing prick! He goes from the lovable Frodo Baggins to the absolutely loathable Patrick. What a versatile little man!

I just watched troy. stupid grreks. *kicks greece in the family jewels, but then remebers, ancient greece is feminist so there* grrrr.....go troy. I was about to cry when I saw the Trojan Horse. Just when I started loving the Troyans, Oddie comes up with the legendary plan. ARGH! Priam should have listened to Paris....

Well, Greeks were not "girly men", only Athenians were, and yes they are Greeks too. But the Spartans were completely the opposite, here the women were "men...women" or something. *Cough* Well, yeah, it was pretty cool. I liked it, but they changed Achilles WAY too much.

are you kidding? homosexuality was as common as the daily rubish. women were only considered as breeding machines only
