Last time it was Kill Bill, and me honestly asking all of you to supply me with reasons with why that was a good movie. I haven't got any response from it yet. I know i will at some point, but until then, the honest request for you to tell me why you liked it, stands.
This time, I'm picking on something a little more personal. A personal pet peeve I have is of people who bitch about things that dont need to be bitched about. For example, the (rather controversial) movie Troy. I've heard it on the radio, on the news, and from friends of mine. "It's not the same as the Illiad". Ok, not liking a movie is fine, everyone is entitled to like or not like what they please. But not liking a movie for not being true to an earlier representation, where it doesn't even claim to be a re-telling of that story? This I just dont understand.
Troy is Troy, and The Illiad is The Illiad.... What more is there? none. Homer didn't make up the story, he just wrote about it - why does everyone take his word for gospel? Or am I really missing something here? If I am, then I will retract my arguement. Right now, I'm only forming the basis of this rant on what I know - if it's misinformed, I apologize.
so that's my pet peeve. You want to bitch, find something worth bitching about it.. Everyone on the radio, of all people, should just shut the hell up. Chances are you're educated, which means you should understand my point..
oye, I'm tired... catch y'all on the flip side..
Until next time......
