LOTR Peter Jackson, yes. The Hobbit Peter Jackson,

Hollywood's always been filled with weirdos and idiots. Tom Cruise is weird as hell but puts out entertaining stuff.

First of all, the still shot is of Clytemnestra, not Helen of Troy

Second, I agree that Nolan should not have cast (the same actress,fyi) as Helen. I hate the casting .But she is not at all an ugly woman. They have her uglied up a bit in this scene to play Clytemnestra

Are you aware that it could still be epic?



Just like Star Wars, Supergirl, Rings Of Power, Snow White, Little Mermaid, and many others. We can go on all day.


You guys all said the same thing and were proven wrong every single time. The casting and dialogue choices are 100% good enough reason to not pay money to see this DEI crap.

What does this have to do with the quality or entertainment value of a movie?

Were any of those other movies directed by one of the best and most consistent filmmakers of the past 20 years?

I don't associate myself with people who find entertainment in tranny's and ugly women of detroit and rappers in an ancient greek tale.

I think she's really pretty. She's just not Helen of Troy.

i'll never understand people losing sleep and arguing with people over who plays who in a movie and what the political beliefs are.


People have been algorithm'd into this.

Yes, objectively its very dumb to think you know everything about a movie based off a minor casting choice, but in the mind of someone that has been targeted by the algorithms and fed curated info it makes perfect sense.

Making someone's gender/sexuality your central preoccupation is the bizarre part.

She plays an incredibly small part. She should not have been cast in any role.

They are also actors and I don't freak out about small shite like this, and watch a film and judge it on its own merits

I wonder how upset we would all be without someone telling us to be upset about something.
