2 days...

Well I finally got around to adding comments and such. I even got the neat trackback thing to. Although, I can't seem to remember where I got the cool weather thing or chatboard thing from. If anyone knows, let me know. Please. They were both really cool. Oh well, maybe one day I will stumble upon them.
Anyway, the review of Troy, as promised. I have seen it twice, I should really have my say about it. I liked the movie, I liked it so much that I forgive Eric Bana for the monstrosity that was the Hulk, and I only saw a few minutes of it. It was good, no wait, it was a great Hollywood production. It had everything. Love, death, guts and glory. I walked out of the movie both times feeling that I got what I paid for. One must remember that with movies like Troy and Lord of the Rings, and even to some extent, Harry Potter, Hollywood and its "people" are catering to the public that hasn't and most likely will never read these books. LOTR was good, and so was Troy, they remain quite faithful to the stories, there are bits they leave out, and people they create for dramatic effect, *cough cough* Brad Pitt's love affair in the movie was a nameless slave in the Iliad, who had absolutely no lines and very little mention at all. But, hey, it keeps the audience glued, mainly the pubescent teenage girls who squeal at the sight of Brad Pitt's ass. Although I am so very glad that Wolfgang Petersen keep Paris as the slimeball that he is, even though he does die...I'll let that pass. Overall, its an excellent movie, and I would recommend it to anyone. But don't take my word for it, here's an awesome review by Robert.
Now that that's over, as you can see if you've read any of the back posts, I don't usually post reviews. That's for mainly two reasons. One, I am a really critical person, and if I think about a movie too much, I tend to like it less and less. And the second reason is that in real life I talk fast, and when I'm on a roll, I can't seem to type what I mean fast enough, before I lose the train of though. Believe me, it makes typing an essay a big hassle, because I can't get what I want to say down fast enough, this is the same for paper too...so I'm screwed equally.
Anyway, work all weekend, so I may not get to post for a while. I am also going out on Saturday, so I may post about that on Sunday.
Note: Someone wanna let me know how you work the trackback thing? And how do you reference a specific blog entry?
