Brian Cox's line reading of, "Then every son of Troy... Shall DIIIIIIE" should live forever in infamy.

Yes! What a random run Brian Cox had in the 2000’s. This, Super Troopers, Trick R Treat..

Nice research on the Bard! Mediterranean sounds really good right now.

This is a hard one to recommend. I remember me and some friends seeing this at the theater in college and thinking “well, that was fine right??”

I will say Pitt has three very well shot fight scenes in this but what he pulls off physically is not matched by him being absolutely miscast as an actor doing some British/ mid west hybrid accent. It was summoning some serious Meet Joe Black energy.

B Movie, 2004 time travel movie w/ micro budget….Primer?

Lol..oh wow! Yes! So I just crunched the numbers and that would increase Troy’s watchability by 100.7%.

Maybe throw in a Ben Stiller as Hector?
