PS- Happy Birthday Mary Walsh.
Quote Of The Day: "High School girls just keep getting sluttier." -Brian P. Walsh after seeing some blonde girl with incredibly short jean shorts (they may have been fake cut offs) and some smallish shirt at the movies. Five minutes later the same girl comes to us and asks if she can sit with us. (of course, the only open seat is next to TK, wouldn't ever happen any other way would it?) Turns out she goes to UNCW. Needless to say, Tristan did not get (or try to get) her number.
Showtime's Review of TROY: (please excuse any misquoted information or details or whatever)
Let me start by asking when the hell crossroads 20 started having some over eager usher kid come in and yell at the audience before the movie about everyone moving towards the center and turning off all cell phones, etc etc etc? That really annoyed me and made me hate crossroads 20 even more. Mission Valley is much cooler. In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I don't really like cary. There, I said it. Now back to the review.
By the time the movie was over, I had been sitting in that chair for well over 3 hours, and my legs were a little cramped so blame any misquoted info on that. Apparently, according to my friends who all remembered more of Homer's Classics than I, the movie was not exactly accurate. I decided that I just don't like Orlando Bloom. Sorry Orlando, you were OK in Pirates, but your characters are whussies and I just don't like you. Brad did a pretty good job, he kicked some major ass, which brings me to the action/fight scenes. They were pretty intense, definitely enjoyable, and usually fairly suspenseful. Did I mention the movie was long (like this post). There were definitely some over dramatic/corny/predictable parts in the movie. For example when Paris's (Bloom) father, the king gives Paris the sword of Troy, "As long as a Trojan carries this sword there is hope for Troy" or something like that, too dramatic. Or when Achilles gets shot by Paris... IN HIS ACHILLES TENDON! I thought for a second that that one shot was going to kill him, thank God they had him get up and get shot a few more times. But the fact that that puss Paris killed him just sucked. Hector was definitely more of a man than Paris. There were other predictable/annoying/over dramatic parts, but I can't remember all of them right now. The fighting was good. Seeing all the ships on the water and all the men coming towards Troy was pretty cool too. The coolest part may have been at the beginning when Achilles (Pitt) killed the giant, that was badass. That was AFTER the little kid went to wake him up and found him asleep with two hot, naked women. Oh yeah, according to Kevin, the thing with the coins on the eyes (think Boondock Saints) was inaccurate. Whatever. The movie was pretty good, not great, and a little over-hyped. In conclusion, Helen was hot, but I don't think she was worth all that.
