Troy

Got dragged to watch "Troy" with hubby. His reasoning: I dragged him to chick flicks all the time -- guilty as charged. After the first thirty minutes, even he wanted to go. I fell asleep some three times, the third time I was sound asleep, but hubby woke me up (not knowing that I was trying to catch up with my beauty sleep) and I was unable to go back to sleep (not happy about that). Overall I guess the movie wasn't too terrible, if you are a Brad Pitt fan or enjoy watching men getting killed with swords. Other than that, I really don't know what the entertainment value was about the movie. It really was just about a bunch of stupid people making a series of stupid mistakes -- Helen going to Troy being the stupidest of them all. Others include Hector going one on one with Archilles, ugh, I think personal pride needs to be put aside when your entire empire was at stake. (Hubby said woman [me] has no honor, I say at least I have my priorities straight :D) And the introduction of the trojan horse into Troy, let's not even go there.

The good news was nobody around us used their cell phones today. I only heard one rang once (the girl immediately next to me) but at least she didn't try to pick it up. I heard a few chucklings throughout the movie and I have no idea what's so funny. And the couple behind us whispered througout the movie. I wish they had talked loud enough so we can all share their wisdoms.

Moral of the story: women are trouble. :D (Like I couldn't have told you that before the movie start!!)
