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 miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
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.

::points at Agamemmnon. points behind back at Achilles::

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

“Not dead yet!”
They're remaking Ice Castles ferchrissakes.
