The only good thing that came out of all this was that I recalled
seeing the film version of The Trojan Women by Euripides and
starring Katherine Hepburn. No, I didn't find it as an
obscurelibrary listing, it was on the shelf at Blockbuster
way back when.

When I remembered it, I requested my library to add it to it's
collection of plays. It's in a current Kino Video version
on dvd.


Also that Helen O' Troy I mentioned _is_ stocked by the
local library. I was going to re-rent and was surprised
to see it turn up.


All these big war adventures got triggered by the upsurge
of nationalism after 911. I'll bet my shirt on it. But to
give some historical distance, they picked antiquity and
made Troy and Alexander the Great.


I'm getting weary of these CGI "cast of hundreds of thousands"
epics. There's that haze you can always see in the CGI images
that says "fake".


No good s-f films being made, so now that I have a dvd player,
I'm catching up on Star Trek Voyager episodes.
