“Hector!!! Hector!!!!” Troy is such a guilty pleasure of a film. One of the best fight scenes ever between him and Pitt.

@TravisEpoch 25 күн бұрын

Totally agree, Eric as Hector was the perfect casting and him with Brad Pitt dueling was one the best chorography fight scene in movie history =) Eric has played in bunch of good movies like Troy and time travellers wife on top of hulk and other movies that he is 90's early 2000's star. Damn that white hair wishes I would age that gracefully, best of luck "Hector" =)

@PhantomFilmAustralia 25 күн бұрын

Bana was excellent in that film. Troy missed the mark on many fronts, from miscast actors to horribly written dialogue. Diane Kruger was a bad choice to play Helen, though Rose Byrne as the Priestess was perfect. Orlando Bloom was just insipidly annoying and a terrible choice to play Paris. If I were Hector, I would have handed Paris to the Greeks as a sacrifice. So many other great actors and great scenes in a not-so-great film. It's a mixed bag, that one.

Neither is good. 😢 But thankfully we have also won close ones too. 😍 They changed the rule since that St Kilda draw and you go into extra time if there is a draw in the GF now.

To Chris, I ask. Why are we fans? I am a Cal Bears fan (actually, I am a Baby Bear, which means it is in my blood, literally, as that is where my parents went to university; I am actually a Golden Gator SFSU); I have a tattoo of Cal on my arm. I was a 12-year-old kid running onto the field after the Play in '82. There are three things I want to see or know before I die. I want to know if there are UFOs, what is on the other side (after death), and if Cal will win (go) the Rose Bowl in my lifetime. Now, with all of that said. What makes someone want to have their ashes tossed on Tightwade Hill after they die so they can watch Cal football for the rest of time? Their history. All of the wins and the losses. I love Cal because they "haven't." Now, if asked, I would say a game of almost is always going to be better than a game of not even close; it just sounds horrible. I ask if you were happy watching the Patriots get blown out anytime they got to the Super Bowl. Do you want the feeling that you were not ready versus not good enough? Because a not-ready team loses every time, and not good enough loses by a little every time.
