Pitt also defended the decision to deviate from Homer and not include any gods in the film. Petersen said gods would not have played well with audiences today.
And that just caps my decision not to see this film.
``Who would you get to play the gods?'' Pitt quipped.
Ignorant skirt-wearer... The whole twist on the Greek gods was their humanity, or their base humanity as it were. In the Greek deity was displayed the worst of human nature. Excluding them from the film was stupid, imo.

I don't know why they thought they couldn't find anyone
to portray the gods, they all had human characteristics,
and if they had shown the petty nature and relationships
between the various humans and their gods it all would
have made sense.
How Akillius had a choice to make, glory and death in front of troy or a long life and ignominy at home, I,I'm verklempt! Darkness covers my sight. I repair to the undergloom.
Where does Akillius armor come from if not Hephestos?
Patron of Blacksmiths everywhere!
Oh it's all too much!

I ain't wearing no skirt and I ain't going to see this movie.
Is "ain't" a word?

I saw a bit of the interview, and I think he was joking.
