seems i saw a teaser for some celeb show saying that Brad Pitt was retiring... that he and the Mrs were ready for a change. i haven't swooned for Brad since Legends of the Fall (correct name??)...a Bon Jovi hair thing i think. lol probably won't have a problem boycotting.
.... Pendulum??
The movie is bound to suck anyway. We are ate-up with special effects and pretty-boys but don't expect good acting or an interesting plot.
I heard it's a very poor rendition of the Iliad by Homer,
and cost $250 million to make. No way I'll pay to see it.
No can do - I plan on seeing the movie this weekend - maybe even again (if the movie is any good). The Illiad just happens to be my favorite story.
The film is getting ripped by reviewers. Read ten reviews yesterday on this film. It is rated only 2 1/2 stars on average. Pitt's performance is lackluster apparently. He is getting raves only for his "big muscles" and the four hour a day workouts he performed to bulk up. It is considered a "Hollywood epic" only for the vast scenes of combating armies. The Trojan Horse got a few praises for its realistic modeling out of fibreglass. I will not pay to view this film but may catch a glimpse of it by walking into the theater will paying for another movie.
That is, BY FAR, the WORST pun I've ever heard!!! LOL!
Neither Brad Pitt nor Tom Cruise is my idea of a good-looking man. Brad Pitt's pouty expression is more appropriate for a stubborn six year old. Tom Cruise's physique resembles Don Knox. I guess the no shoulder, pencil neck look is sexy to a thirteen year old girl. I prefer manly men such as Mel Gibson and Sean Connery.
Have to agree with you there. Mel and Sean. Doesn't get any better than that! :)
Pretty-boy weenie Brad Pitt as Achilles is a joke anyway. Achilles was a massive, powerful killing-machine, not a skinny nancy-boy. Putting Brad Pitt in that role was a mis-cast of epic proportions.
did somebody say actor, thats a joke, let me remind you of real actors real american patriots, like the late great Jimmy Stewart who went to fight for his country David Niven Clark Gable, to name but a few, they should go hide themselfs somewhere, maybe the French would like him. I am not American but these people anoy me, why dont they get a real life
That has to be one of the scariest pics out of Hollywood that I've ever seen! Yikes!
I have no intention of seeing Troy, but....... I am not a fan of "boycott (fill in the blank) because they are liberals!" I will go to movies that I expect will entertain me, and I won't care about the politics of who made it. And I shop at Costco. So there.
Count me in on the Sean/Mel fanclub!
As to Troy, I have no interest in seeing it but Pitt's political views is not on my list of reasons......Now...Michael Moore, that's a different matter!
"its looked stupid then, and it looks like a made for tv movie now!"
LOL! I couldn't get over the previews showing absurdly gigantic armies. Those Holywood CGI fools always seem to overdo it!
