The 300 - Worst Boating Movie of the Year
 

Yes, there are boating scenes in this move. A storm, even.

Nonetheless, The 300 is one of the worst movies I have seen so far this
year.

Interesting computer graphics, and some first-rate "monsters," but the
plot, the rationale, the dialogue, oh my goodness, they were awful, just
awful.

It's hard to remember a first-class movie of any sort based upon ancient
Greek history and mythology, which is amazing, considering how powerful
the stories are.

Jule Dassin's retelling of Phaedra wasn't bad, but of course it had
Melina Mercouri in it. Zorba had some interesting mythological and
historical references, but it was set in contemporary times.
Costa-Gavras' "Z" was also a tale of modern times.

Where are the great movies involving Ulysses, Achilles, Paris, Helen, et
cetera?

(And they'd all involve the Aegean and Mediterranean and boats!)

Now it seems like you are describing Paris Hilton.

Not sure of your accuracy on the face, though....

I've seen photos of Ms. Hilton. I don't know why there is such a fuss
about her. She's no better than average looking. Must be the $$$ and her
lifestyle.

You didn't like "Troy"? Eric Bana was terrific as Hector...as was Brad Pitt
as Achilles.

I saw it. Little, pretty boy Brad Pitt as Achilles was the funniest bit
of casting. The movie had little in common with Homer's Illiad. As an
example, in the book, Achilles died before the Trojan horse was
constructed. The female lead in the movie, the pretty girl who played
Helen of Sparta, was blonde, just as unlikely as the medieval depictions
of Jesus as a fair-haired, blue-eyed northern European.

It wasn't a bad costume drama, though.

Agreed!

I'm amazed at how some of the "media" courts her as a "role model"

Same with Dennis Rodmann. Well, when Dennis was being interviewed one
time, he was being criticised about his lifestyle, and the reporter
asked him, "Don't you feel an obligation as a role model...?" Dennis
cut him short, and sternly said, "I don't get paid to be a role model.
I get paid to play basketball...."

It was Charles Barkely, not Dennis Rodman. And the quote was "I'm not a
role model, ... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise
your kids."

Disneyland also did a GREAT job updating Pirates of the Caribbean as well.
We went a few weeks ago.

You're right about Barkley. But, Tim is also right about Rodman, heard it
myself.
