...Well, I have to admit, I agree with tuan. The new Troy DVD is FANTASTIC. I like this movie more and more every time I see it.
As far as Troy vs. 300 goes, errrrmmmmmm... ummmmmmm... I don't know. That's a toughie. 300 was spectacular, but just ever so slighlty disappointing to me, also. I wanted another 30 minutes, more insight into the men under Leonidas' command, more meat to the final battle. I also thought the character of Ephialtes was underdeveloped and too cartoonish. Overall, I think I have to give it to Troy, which actually surprises me, since I have quite a bit of fondness for 300. 300 may have been more jaw-dropping, but I have to say, in the end I think Troy was the better film. By a whisker.
Chien: Eh, I wouldn't judge Iranians by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or North Koreans by Kim Jong Il, or Microsoft employees by Bill Gates, so, no worries. [Wink]
In the interests of full disclosure, however, I should probably mention that I'm pretty sure I like your President more than you do. [Grin] It takes all kinds, n'est pas?
I remain, as always...
Nico.

Maybe manana, tuan. tonight I'm going to celebrate Texas A&M's improbable, clutch, come-from-behind victory over Okie State to lead the Big XII South! Man, what a game. 17 points down at the half, and we squeak by, 24-23 because of a last-minute Roughing the Kicker call against OSU with a minute and a half left. Even ugly wins are still 'W''s, ya know? See ya tomorrow evening!
I remain, as always...
Nico.

It is indeed highly probable Nico. Only a French can truly and fully despise Sarkozy the way he deserves to be
So yes, you obviously like him more than I do (as in fact there isn't a single thing I like about him, and I cried all the tears of my body last May when he was elected)
