Whacking Permalink Archive 19 May 2005 I just watched Troy on DVD.
Jesus, what a monumental sack of crap. Brad Pitt is spectacularly miscast as Achilles. The guy looks like he'd keel over if he was hit with a nosegay of pansies. A terrific actor in the right role (12 Monkeys, Snatch), his Greek warlord has all the charisma and menace of a chihuahua. Oh and then there's the bloated musical score, crappy special effects, dull combat scenes, and the creaky dialogue, which is so bad it makes The Phantom Menace sound like a David Mamet play. "You
know nothing of LOVE!!" </cue crashing orchestral music> Christ, it was horrid. It also contains one of the strangest insults I've ever heard: Brad sneers to (absurdly hammy) Brian Cox: "You sack of wine!" My girlfriend actually paused the disc to make sure she'd heard that one correctly. Alas, she had. Peter O'Toole manages a little dignity as the king of Troy, but no one else in this bomb comes out of it without something smelly on their shoes. Avoid.
For the love of God, avoid.
Help needed I'm looking for a nice, offensive anti-communist t-shirt. Like Che with a bullet-hole thru his head. Yes I've seen the ones at cafepress. I think they're lame. I want something which will make lefties want to throw paint at me. E-mail
me at tex <at> whackingday <dot> com if you
know of such a shirt.
