I edited. It's not 100% agreement.

Hrm, not very helpful is it? Quick, somebody bring up politics/current events, or communism. Then I can disagree with him again.

Ok, fine, I disagree with Agathon. I don't think it will necessarily be a travesty.

And OBWAT was not nearly as entertaining as the old movie of the Odyssey w/ Kirk Douglas.

Brad haters take heart. They're doing the whole horse thing, so he must be dead at least 45-60 minutes before the end.

I would really be surprised of this film was worth anything. From the looks of the commercial, this is going to be another mostly CGI piece of trash.

Why do I get the feeling that NON-CGI battle scenes were much better than the computer generated trash. Did you see all those masses of warriors running at one another in the commercial. A battle wouldn't even have been fought that way. Where are the formations?

Looks like cut and paste is here to stay, unfortunately. It's good for recreating architecture and certain impossible to do scenes but CGI is quite poor for battle scenes. LOTR would have been a lot better if they cut back on the CGI battle scenes.

People just don't know where to draw the line! CGI battles look incredibly cheap. I want my extras and realism back!

I say, WHO'S WITH ME!!!???

Hell yeah cracker! I keep forgetting to buy that, b/c I never buy soundtracks, but that is the one exception to the rule.

I'd fight alongside you buddy. I think the movie looks better than most CGIU crapfests, but I totally understand your point. The battlescenec in gettysburg outdid any in the last Matrix movie.
I think thie cg crap is also leading to unemployment in hollywood. Did you hear about htta star trek 4-d ride in vegas that only used 5 actors for the whole production?

I agree with Agathon on "Oh Brother" as well... it's my favorite film in fact!!

What I don't agree with others is that I think Pitt will be great! He's one of my favorite actors, whether it be in 'Fight Club', 'Ocean's Eleven', 'Seven Years in Tibet', 'Se7en'; he's just a lot of fun.

Btw, wonder if they'll discuss the homosexuality of Achilles and the rest of the Greeks and Trojans. Should put a damper on those ladies who are there just to see Pitt .

There's nothing much in the Illiad that alludes to homosexuality. But I've heard there is a rather homoerotic scene between Pitt and someone else.

For real homoeroticism in the ancient world, we're all waiting for Oliver Stone's Alexander movie. Then we get to see Colin Ferrell playing snuggle bunnies with Jared Leto.

I guess it isn't explicit in the Illiad, but didn't Achilles have a very, very close male friend with whom there may have been relations?

Yes Patroklos was a very good friend of Achilles. Still, the Illiad doesn't say much about homosexuality, and it's quite obvious that Achilles is mad because his slave girl is stoekn by Agamemnon, who will later give her back after precising he didn't sleep with her, which means it must have been important for Achilles. Of course, Achilles may have been bisexual. Odysseus forgot to ask him that very important question when he met him in the realm of the dead.
