Of course, I won't have time to read/view/listen to any of your suggestions for a month or so, but I still want to know!

In Troy, I love the guy playing Hector. Hector always was my favorite character in the Iliad, and I was glad to find that I liked him just as much in the movie. I liked Achilles in the movie, too. Brad Pitt did a good job with him, and he must have practiced swordplay for months, because he looked good, fighting on screen.

I read an article online a few days ago (maybe via Yahoo News) that said Pitt and Eric Bana practiced for three months on their final sword battle. Then, because they felt it was important that they just "go for it" during the six days of filming it, they agreed to let loose, but to pay each other for any "accidents" that happened: $50 for a minor blow, $100 for a major one. When they ended the filming, Pitt owed Bana $750 and Bana now has what he calls a "Brad Pitt scar" -- a small line running down next to his nose.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing Troy. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Sean Bean and Peter O'Toole.

I saw "Troy" on Sunday -- and I'm with you on Eric Bana/Hector! I'd never seen Bana before, but he was just lovely in the role.

Ditto your comment on Pitt: he was quite impressive! I really liked his scenes with Briseis and the one with Priam.

I would love to see them do "The Odyssey" with Sean Bean!

Hehehe...Yep, they've got to do The Odyssey, now!

Though, alas, neither Hector nor Achilles would be in it. *pout*
