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.

Did the fucking fuckers fucking retcon Patroclus?

Yep. Though when this prem'ed in America, we mocked the hell out of that. I saw it twice in theaters for various reasons, and it was so. damn. long. that I went and saw the tail-ends of two other movies (A Cinderella Story and Mean Girls) and still got back in time for all the nekkid hotness and fighting.

I'm so glad we not only rented it but rented it with free vouchers, so no money was actually spent. The nekkidness was very very nice but I was still beyond pissed off on Patroclus' behalf, and therefore resenting every second of screentime given to Briseis (none of us could remember her name, so connorbeast renamed her Tartacus. For we are juvenile.)
