On Saturday after we saw Troy we came home and Lee tried to turn on the computer and it just *wouldn't*. He tried fiddling with it on Sunday morning and the old power supply went Bang.
No computer at home for me.
Troy was alright. I put it on a level with the Last Samurai for goodness as an epic. Obviously Troy is better because Orlando Bloom isjust so pretty. I suspect I enjoyed it a little more than those members of the audience who have studied the Iliad. There was moaning at certain bits and audible laughter at the end when it said "Inspired by the Iliad by Homer".
Still, it was fun and it looked lovely and Brad Pitt was wonderful, and Eric Bana was really good and Orlando Bloom, as I have mentioned, is very pretty. They do this eye liner thing to him that really suits. The girls were alright.
I really liked all the costuming in it and am inspired to have a Trojan party. We could turn the heaters up in our apartment and all the guys can wear hipster wrap skirts and crop tops and the girls will wear lovely Grecian flowy dresses. Maybe this'd only work if Orlando and Brad came...
We watched Election when we got home. Man, that was a weird movie. It was trying to hard to be a black comedy and it didn't really make sense much of the time. I didn't like it very much, but I did watch it all the way through, just to see what would happen next. Not recommended as I'll never want to watch it again. Plus Reese Witherspoon's voice is super-annoying in this movie. (More than normal.)
