All true but Troy was widely shat on at the time. There were so many better epics (Gladiator, LOTR) and Troy just frankly wasn’t as good.

I thought it was a fun flick tho. Saw it in theaters, no regrets.

It’s really remarkable to see the modern version of the previously modern version just leaned in further.

no one realized just how bad it could get. Things were light years more sane in 2004.

Be specific. Break even is about $650m, are you saying it won’t hit that figure?



I have no idea. It will likely fall short of projections, however, assuming they are going woke as it appears they are.

Is this all you have going for you in life? I think you need to find meaning outside of the internet, big guy.

My only thought is likened to James Cameron originally wanting the terminator back in the 80's to be 'just a guy'.

Perhaps Page's role is so impressive on screen.

All I know is, this mental illness thing is real when you have this...

You gonna bump it if it does the same box office as “Snow White”?

If it does, I have a feeling you’ll conveniently forget this thread.

To not derail this thread, as I understand it, Achilles is a blonde tranny with a huge schlong.

“Into the Wild Frontier” is a fantastic series, not only was Colter the 1st recorded white man to see Yellowstone, but a teenaged legendary mountain man Jim Bridger was one of the two men left behind to watch over Hugh Glass. Believing an Indian attack was imminent and Glass had no chance of survival, they left him after taking all his gear and rifle. Glass forgave Bridger due to his youth and the fact he was just following orders, not so much for the other guy.

What? Pitt had already done Fight Club and Snatch several years before Troy came out.


It may be hard to believe in the current environment, but it was a common opinion that he just didn’t fit the archetype people envisioned for Odysseus, and his only purpose was to attract some of the Thelma and Louise crowd.

Jew Hollywood does not give a frick about what sells. As Larry the rat Fink is on record saying I have 6 billion dollars losing a few hundred million to push the agenda means nothing to me

When's the last time they even pretended to care about what the audience wanted to see

Taking advice from you is like that cheesy fortune telling arcade game in the 80’s, a colossal waste of time and extremely retarded

Not willing to make a stand on anything?! What? I loathe leftist policies and political correctness. That’s pretty straightforward and express it quite often unfortunately you grasp very little

Of course it was, Orlando Bloom made Paris a bigger p*ssy than he needed to be.

Um, so he picks a story that is completely Greek to promote diversity? No, he fricked up. No one should see this piece of shite.

Orlando Bloom (while great in LOTR) was unwatchable in everything else he did. Awful actor, outside Legolas.

Eh, I give him a bit of love for Kingdom of Heaven.

Fact - it was only recently that I learned Ed Norton was Baldwin.

Do you think it’ll lose money? Break even is about 650m.

I’ve asked multiple posters to actually call their shot and they’re all predictably terrified of embarrassing themselves on an anonymous message board , it’s pathetic.

I’ll even go first. I’ll guess $900m ish (Oppenheimer did about 950, for reference), which would be a profit of about $1/4b.

I cancelled Netflix for the same reasons 9 months ago and have zero regerts. My daughter was visiting last weekend and logged into her account and I was checking out the offerings and it’s the same tired crap. Female or minorities in superhero roles or major rewrites of history based on some oppressed minority that never existed in that historical period.
