Troy Director's Cut

While I am not about to come to the defense of Troy, I at least found it watchable, and it held my interest in a cheap soap opera kind of way. Also, Brad Pitt in this movie is the closest I've come to ogling a man in a semi-gay way. What I wouldn't give to look like that for just one day.

Sounds like someone needs a cold shower :D
 
I was just saying to myself the other day: "What I would really love to see is a longer cut of TROY."

Oh wait, no, I was sticking a fork in my eye...
 
When I see multiple versions of movies that were just ok or horrible at the store I think to myself man that studio really lost their asses on that movie and they are trying desperatly to regain some of the money back by putting it everywhare so that I have to look at a damn poster or movie stand of a movie jacket to remind me that they sucked.

Funny... I still have no desire to see them again. Yet I know somewhare some sucker is thinking wow this must be good, A REVISED UNCUT SPECIAL DIRECTOR APPROVED COLLECTORS ONLY EDITION OF......... (Insert bad movie title.)

Ok, time for a cold shower and nobody else is invited.
 
Will it come with alternate endings? Like, one where the Trojans don't fall for the horse-trick, and the Greeks lose the war?
 
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Conversely, if it's already inherently and utterly f**ked in every way imaginable, don't try to unf**k it.

But of course, this is Hollywood....
 
Hey guys, come on now. For all we know, Troy was butchered by the studio, and the director's vision could be much diff...BAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I just couldn't keep a straight face while saying that.
 
I couldn't take Troy seriosly because of Eric Bana's BAD accent. His Australian accent comes out very thick in a few lines.
 
Troy is a pretty good example of BAD filmmaking, especially screenwriting. 100 different cuts couldn't fix a bad script.

An you definitely shouldn't make a popcorn movie based on THE ILIAD, for Christ's sake!...

...or for Zeus's sake, if you will....

Go make Spiderman 12 or 31, if you want the big cash, but don't mess with the classics.

Actually, the Iliad was kind of the day's equivalent of a popcorn movie.

And I am sure in 2800 years, people will still be watching TROY too...:)

Someone mentioned Eric Bana's accent. I actually thought he was the only tolerable thing in that film. I like his work a lot and he brought some actual humanity to the role.
