'War Stories'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Penelope.
Yeah, her!
Know what I'd do? (If I wasn't playing Halo with them.) MAKE THEM LEAVE.
Isn't there some kind of cultural injunction that prevents that? Some hospitality thingie for the suitors or whatever?
They were at war! Hector killed his boyfriend!
Admit it. You've got an Achilles blind spot because of the slash. I don't know if loss of cocksucking is grounds for mayhem.
Achilles made a pledge, along with the rest of them, to support whoever Helen married. She married Menelaus.
You want to point at the asshole in that story, point at Agamemmnon.
I read Clash of the Titans in elementary school. It was a trip and a half. I saw the movie years later and it wasn't at all how I imagined it would be.
Branaugh has done very faithful Shakespeare adaptations - I understand his Hamlet is nearly all the original with minor changes. Hamlet is my favorite, and yet I haven't seen his version.

THERE WAS A BOOK???
It'd be like MM and Pete and Sean and ND moved onto your couch for a decade to play Halo. You'd lose it too.
1) I cook and clean. Ask Aims.
2) I suck at Halo.

Yes, but would you cook and clean at Dana's house?
I suck at Halo.
But you play it, right? So my belabored analogy still holds.
Really it's more the ten years than the players, though.

Actually, no I don't.
Because I suck at it.
I brought...you...Heineken...you bastard..."
Heineken? Fuck that shit! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!
...wait, this isn't the Movies thread, is it?
P-C -
yes! There was a book!
although, now that I've spent some time googling this very issue, I think it was a novelization of the movie. Alan Dean Foster (author of the book) is a well known novelator.
That sounds about right.
And aaargh, Wikipedia reminds me that they are REMAKING it for some godforsaken reason.
