What did you think, would you mind posting a short specific review?Ray BarnsburyOh dear, Ray! You still don't get, do you? I use my instincts, my given talents and my abilities to avoid stinkers like Troy and Van Helsing. It safes me a vast amount of cash and, as a bonus, I'll get to keep my dignity. If you really feel the need to be insulted for a couple of hours, well then, that's fine by me. Yes, Ray. I can see the mines hidden in the field. Why don't you accept it? What other proof do you need? The bait is so obvious and yet the beast of Hollywood is making countless victims. You've heard my warnings. You've seen brave men returning, their eyes filled with disgust, wishing they never went in the first place. The testimonials these people are making contain exactly the same words that I've been trying to send in many different threads. Not that you need it, but my advise to you is to go and see Troy . You will love it...and it will love you.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 188 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 You know what, Alex, I have seen Troy, and though it's not the greatest movie ever made and not even as great as it could have been, it still is very good and I really enjoyed it. Now everytime I read your endless posts where you sound like a missionary in a land full of heretics, I feel strongly insulted by you. So if you don't mind, stop presenting your opinion as a higher truth and insulting everyone who enjoys some movies, even if those are not the revelation you obviously expect a movie to be in order not to be a total bomb.Thank you very much.

It only means that I'm a little step closer to what I'm trying to accomplish.

Audax 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 ... ow sorry you were saying something Alex.I believe you forget the one and only important rule of entertainment: GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANTAnd its very obvious the people want these movies. Even when they aren't masterpieces. So please stop the whining about that monster of yours. If you want to see some good movies go and watch the movies your instinct tells you to and please let us be disappointed about films peacefully.Audax - Who knows he is part of the system too according to the GREAT Mr. Cremers (nice one Stefancos ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audax 0 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Back on topic though; I think it would be great if they released the dvd with both Troy's soundtracks on it! They should have done the same with the SW prequels; the soundtrack that Williams envisioned and the one Lucas pasted together.

ChrisAfonso 188 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hey, Alex, you should propose to the makers of the Bond movies to have you employed as the next Bond villain, trying to rid all the world of the monster of mediocracy and bombing the sets of "commercial" movies or so. In the final battle, while Bond tries to shoot you down, you will bombard him with endless discussions and polemics, until his head explodes. There's real potential in there.

A24 4,356 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 What a great way for me to reach a larger audience!"Go ahead, Mr. Bond! But before you shoot me down, remember that without me, the world would be a colorless place, populated only by people who would be perfectly happy if every movie turned out to be a Troy or a Van Helsing. Think about it, Mr. Bond. Is that what you really want?"----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge 0 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I found this on the www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=17168 website. This is a quote from some bloke who was at the test screening in Sacramento on the 10th of March:So what didn't I like? Well, the music. Horrible. Painful. Worst score ever? In a movie that's so close to greatness, this was a weird flaw. But before they screened the flick they said a bunch of the stuff was not completed. Some of the special effects didn't look quite right yet, but I figured that was because they hadn't finished them yet. So maybe the music's crap because it's not the real music? I sure hope so. I almost never even notice movie music but this stuff was aggresively nauseating. He was obviously listening to a different score to the one I heard on the Gabriel Yared website! Either that or it was just a poor mix. I can't imagine Gabriel Yared score not working in this type of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 But on the other hand, listening to Kenneth Branagh's commentary on Dead Again, he says how crucial the test screenings were, they cut the film by 45 minutes, and made a far superior movie out of it.

Morlock 11 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Well, at least there was that great commentary track. It was the first one Branagh did, his other movie's extra were slim to nil.
