So, I was digging into some medical research recently, and get this: it turns out a massive number of women experience miscarriages without even realizing they were pregnant in those super early stages. It’s wild. Now, if you take that data and run it through the lens of traditional theological ideology—you know, the idea that the soul is formed at the exact moment of conception—then the math leads us to one incredibly simple, albeit heavy, conclusion. We are talking about a HUGE number of deceased children. Furthermore, most faiths teach us that an innocent child who passes away, completely pure and without sin, goes straight to heaven. Following that logic, it stands to reason that heaven is absolutely PACKED with kids.

So, get this—during the filming of the new Catwoman flick, they actually swapped out Halle Berry for a 29-year-old guy named Nito Larioz during the action sequences. This martial arts pro from Hawaii had to rock bright red lipstick just to pull off the stunt work for the Hollywood star, and since he’s about the same height as Halle Berry, he didn't have any trouble squeezing into that iconic Catwoman suit. The scenes were shot so fast you wouldn't even notice the switch, but honestly, anyone who's just staring at Halle Berry's sexy outfit is going to be pretty shocked when they realize they were actually checking out a dude in a lady's costume.

It’s just like when that one arrow hits him right in the heel—the only spot that wasn't bulletproof. You have people out here totally convinced that Achilles is invincible, and then suddenly they're staring at him dead on the ground with an arrow sticking out of his heel, realizing the whole thing was a lie because he was vulnerable right there.

Americans should be legally banned from making historical stuff that has absolutely zero connection to our own landscape.
And I mean, definitely.

The whole mythology thing is basically non-existent in this flick. Achilles is just portrayed as some incredible fighter rather than anyone actually vulnerable.
And man, they totally butchered the whole Achilles' heel thing.
At the end of the movie, Paris hits Achilles in the heel, then Achilles charges at him and takes three arrows straight to the chest. Even for a guy like him, that’s overkill, but right before he kicks the bucket, he actually pulls those three arrows out of his chest—though he's still left with that arrow in his heel. Then the rest of the Greeks find him like that, and boom, there's your "material" for the legend of Achilles' heel.

casualotter21 said:Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, Achilles was basically an immortal, Superman-level demigod anyway. Just like all the other Greek and Trojan heroes, you've got gods constantly hovering over their heads, dropping curses and lightning bolts on anyone standing in their way. Once you accept that, some tiny detail like whether his hair color is historically accurate becomes totally irrelevant to me.

Anyway, I’ve got a question for the actual experts here: what historical sources are people even using when they try to reconstruct the Trojan War, seriously? This goes for Hollywood too—those folks claiming it's a "historical" epic, and even the critics already whining about how "Troy" won't be "historically accurate." Like, come on. Hmmm?

mellowbear64 said:Honestly, Achilles was such a wimp. When Odysseus came knocking asking him to join the fight, he was just hiding out among some women. Then, the second that war horn blasted, the ladies all scattered and Achilles finally grabbed his sword.

Man, I am seriously counting down the days...
