RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Nathan]

No, I thought Pitt was spot on as Achilles. Vapid, a glory whore, selfish... he was everything Achilles was supposed to be. For all his prowess on the battlefield, he ate large bags of crispy fried dicks otherwise.

Personally, I thought the film could have done without Orlando Bloom...

I don't think the characterization was off, I just didn't buy Pitt in the role even though I like him as an actor. Yeah, forgot about Bloom. Was annoying.

What's the word on 'Dylan Dog'? Saw an extended preview before Scream and thought it looked fun. Dig on both Sam and Brandon and it looks like a bigger budget episode of 'Supernatural'.

They brought in Paul Hirsch (aka the guy who saved Star Wars from disaster) to edit and I'd heard like...a year ago dating back to my IESB days it was coming together surprisingly well despite a very, very bad script. I imagine though this will play well for nerds like us and get awful reviews overall.

[Abraham Smashington]

So a perfect movie for me. YESSSSssss

[Ed Hocken]

You saying instant cult favorite?

[BillyG]

I think it looks like 100 kinds of fun.

[Captain Russ]

Kinda sorta maybe.........no Brad Pitt would've been helpful. I thought the fight scenes were dumb too.

The fights were edited just like the ones in Pootie Tang.

And now the shitty bullet-dodging part with "Make 'Em Say UNNNNNGHHHH" is stuck in my head.

Troy needed bullet-dodging to shitty No Limit songs. At least that'd distract from the fact it was boring and uninspired.

So...Isaiah Mustafa (hello, ladies) has met with Marvel about being Luke Cage? That's actually kinda cool, and it would probably be a smart business decision as the guy has some massive appeal for women.

You know that there'd have to be a scene in the film where he jumps on a horse.

[B_Metal]

Look down, now look back up, I'm on a horse.

[Martin]

I kind of want to see that... but then again, I don't.

I am in the vocal(and exceptionally tiny)majority that 'Troy' should have been 2 hours longer and actually include the machinations of the gods...

Agreed about the Gods, but Pitt's Achilles should have sucked some cocks like the custom at the time was. And the movie suffers so much once Bana is dispatched, though what a great fight that was. He was the best actor in this.

The wife will love that. And I'm curious if he gets the part.

Yep, Looks Like He'll Be Back - Arnold Schwarzenegger Attached to New Terminator Film

[Captain Russ]

Wow.

It's 2003 all over again.

[Martin]

The main problems of Terminator 3 and 4 weren't the presence or lack of said Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[BillyG]

Horrible. Robots don't fucking age. Terminator is a franchise that needs a real breath of fresh air. No Arnold. No John Connor. Whole new stories in the universe. I never saw 4, but we know the cyborgs can be skinned differently. We don't need them to look like Arnold.

[Timothy225]

Agreed - we already got the tribute to Arnold in the last flick. I'd rather see Arnold show up in an Expendables sequel, if one ever materializes, or do a similar character like he did in the first flick (Stallone's competition). I'm thinking since he's older and I doubt agile enough to do the stunts he did back in the good old days, he should be the guy who gives out the orders to the next generation action star (think Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Charlton Heston as Arnold's boss in True Lies, etc.). Give him an extended cameo or something.
