Three thoughts on Troy:

1) That was a bit shit, really.

2) Did the fucking fuckers fucking retcon Patroclus? "Cousin"?! Rather than "he whom I valued more than all others, and loved as dearly as my own life"? Blech.

3) I really want to read an Achilles/Patroclus Verona Beach AU.

I ended up fastforwarding the last 45 minutes to avoid anything that didn't have Achilles or Hector. I'd worry that I missed some crucial plot, but meh

I had no such luck - we saw it in the theater. Although, if you fast-forwarded through Peter O'Toole's scene w/Achilles, make sure you rewind and watch it. That man is amazing.

Plot? ::snickers:: It just infuriated me (and every other history buff in the audience - Briseis kills Agamemnon?!? Have they the BRAINWORMS?)

But the scene where Briseis has the knife to Achilles' throat, and he slides his hand up under her chiton....uhhhhh. I should probably worry about this thing I have with weapons. ::laugh::
