Hehe. I go because the woman wants to see the eye-candy.

I managed not to fall asleep even, though I was very tempted. . . :)

See, you need to go with me. We'd spend the entire time making fun and throwing popcorn like immature teenagers.

And to think, my roommate doesn't think Sean Bean is attractive. I swear, that woman is an idiot.

I won't see it again until it's out on DVD. And not because of eye-candy (sweaty men in leather with weapons...mmm) or because of historical/mythical accuracy.

good god, man! once was more than enough to begin with.

i don't think there's much eye candy there, either; not among the biggest leads, anyway. i'm fond of sean bean, and rather enjoyed gazing upon hector and andromache, but there wasn't anything droolworthy there overall. (pitt and bloom really don't do it for me.)

I thought the actress that played Helen was very nice to look at. But, yeah, the movie was a bit short of eye-candy for men.

She wasn't bad. She might have even been pretty.

But there is no way that her face would have launched a thousand ships.

Ten, maybe. A thousand? Not a chance.

I think that her beauty was decidedly obscured by the role she was cast into.

Hmm, I haven't seen the movie, and long ago gave up my goal of reading the entire Iliad (I think I made it about a third of the way through, about a decade ago), but the comment about the movie being short of eye-candy for men makes me think that she was probably pretty enough to launch a thousand ships if there wasn't much mortal competition.

Perhaps. But, in my mind (and humble opinion), she was no Helen.

*sighs*
