Whatever you have to tell yourself, BB. It's all good. 
And, Maram! Yay! Another Eric Bana fan!!! Yes, he is most impressive...most impressive. I have to wait until tomorrow evening to go see Troy because my brothers don't want me and my hubby watching it without them, then tearing the movie apart and spoiling it for them before they get to see it. Picky, picky.
But now I am eagerly awaiting tomorrow night. Sean Bean and Eric Bana in the same movie.....  |

Is it a bad idea to say now that Sean's Scottish accent simply destroys the mood of the movie, and that Hector's corpse 'bounced'?
Wait, I should let you guys watch it first ^_~
Ah, I envy you non-censored Troy watchers. Enjoy!

That's not a Scottish accent Luthien. It's someone from Sheffield in England trying to rid himself of his northerness! I find the accent quite endearing actually. It's better than the Aussie accent that creeps through from Eric Bana.
I've just got back from seeing it. It's ok really. Not a particularly accurate re-telling of The Iliad and so it doesn't all fit together very well, but all the men are very pretty

Sounded pretty Scottish to me. Doesn't help that I've this weird fella at work who insists on immitating that particular brogue merely to irritate me. :Lol:
The men are -very-  pretty indeed.... hahaha... I'm sure the men watchers of Troy enjoyed some womanly beauty as well...

Saw Troy yesterday with dear hubby, who enjoyed the battles and bloodshed of course, and my opinion is... mixed, but Yippee!! for the handsome men:) Where in the world has Eric Bana been hiding? I can't believe I haven't noticed such a hotty before. And regardless of the oddity of Sean's accent in context, the way the man says the word 'brother' just sends shivers up my spine. Definately going to have to reread though, it's been... eek! 10 years at least. Gotta pretend to work.... will drool further later

Sorry ladies.... Eric Bana doesn't do it for me. The man has no jaw! Personally I like a strong, square jaw not this non-existant-makes-him-look-like-a-giraffe (sp?) thing.
Granted, that doesn't make Hector any less a wonderful character. *Sigh* So noble.
Now Brad Pitt on the other hand has finally grown up... It took him 40 years but he's finally beautiful! Orlando was of course, delicious, and MUCH prettier than Helen. Still very upset about the 2 cm, they could have tilted the camera a bit more.

Just found out *why* I didn't recognize Eric Bana; this is a man who should NEVER go out his door without facial hair!
zoinks! Still definately hot with the beard though:) I think there may actually be some chance that Orlando Bloom can act, I'm still getting distracted by the pretty face:) Definately miffed that Paris didn't get his just desserts in the end, however... Incidentally, there's something infinitely more appealing about the hint of flesh than an eyefull, imho, particularly when it comes to the male form. Love every bit of it, but there's nothing sillier than a guy just sort of 'standing about', as it were. I did enjoy the teaser shots though, and I have to admit to drooling a mite at that first shot of Brad Pitt/Achilles among his companions... just enough flesh to titillate:)
*sigh* Glad I have a patient hubby, who stoically sat through my lusty sighs... and took me home to shag me senseless afterwards

I saw Troy yesterday and througly enjoyed it on a number of levels. Even though I still didn't understand the whole Eric Bana beard action, he was a stone cold hottie who kicked some Greek ass. So to Andreth's everlasting amusement, I am now an Eric Bana fan. As for my dear OB, he was as gorgeous as always but relegated to having some cheesy lines to say  I was pleased to see that he was the only one who actually thought bringing the Trojan horse into the city might be a REALLY BAD idea. Sean was wonderful as Odysseus and was showing a fair amout of leg.
Brad Pitt was simply sublime He was just all golden and smooth like a piece of candy  My only complaint is the same as BB's, I just wish the camera had panned down about another 2 inches or so, because I would have LOVED seeing Achille's Jr.

Can you believe that all possible plotbunnies hop through my head when I see them? Though I really can't decide between the brothers ...

Plot bunnies? More like plot elephants.  As for deciding between the brothers? Sigh....

Sindohte and I saw this today (me for first time, her for second.) Anyone else noticed Orlando's little acting trick of starting a speech staring straight ahead into the middle distance, then at the very end turning his head to face the person he's actually speaking to? I swear he does it in every movie.
Oh, and that beautiful boy they got to play Aenis (sp?) at the end! "Here, beautiful blue-eyed boy! Take the sword!"
