Troy
I saw the second half of Troy a couple of weeks ago on pirated DVD. I really liked it. The fight between Achilles and that other guy outside the city walls was choice. I even liked Achilles’ wee speech (“the gods envy us”) to his really pretty girlfriend.

a) the other guy was Hector.
b) his girlfriend was not pretty.
Oh dear!
Ha. Yep Deb I thought you might take umbrage at that.
I thought she was pretty too, though. Too bad she was also boring and silly.
People can bash Troy all they want, but I give it props mostly for that fight Matt. The solitary drumming throughout it was awesome. So intense. I wish the whole film were like that instead of mass CGI-army battles… alas. Peter Jackson has ruined war films for the next ten years…
Intense, solitary drumming? Have you seen Zulu?
No. Should I?
Yes! Classic!
Apparently Mr Jackson’s inspiration for Helm’s Deep battle too. It’s all about the tension.
