Yet we're sure to fail.

That's the last thing you want from a Trojan, by crikey. Maybe try Stimula?

Can you believe Brad Pitt turned down the lead role in the Coen Brothers' "To the White Sea" to star in this miserable piece of garbage where cartoon men race across the screen and battle.

I will never forgive him for this. Just look how depressed the Coens were. They made Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers in a state of depression, for pity's sake!

A Trojans page calls Helen queen of Troy, which ain't promising, while noting Oz's own Eric Bana as Hector, which is clever.

But in all my mental images of Achilles, he never looked like Brad Pitt. More like a cross between Arnie and Dennis Lillee.

However - we fans of the Classics have to be grateful for every minute of screentime we can muster. But for Brad, most of the audience would never hear of the Trojan Wars or of Homer.

Dunc,

I think the average person probably thinks that the Trojan Wars were fights over condom distribution.

I don't like Brad as Achilles either, but I don't think they could have cast a better mollycoddled Paris than Orlando Bloom.

I'd rather read the catalogue of ships than watch the movie.
