Re: I blame Persia.

I would think being immortal would make war hella awesome. All the destroying, none of the dying!

The Persian Immortals were only called immortal because when one died they would make his replacement use the same uniform and PIN number. It seems wrong to blame them.

When you're immortal, what is there not to fight about? It's not like you're going to get killed and there's all kinds of cool stuff you could win.

3: I suppose. But you could also just have a sandwich (or not! you won't starve, after all) and wait. And then take that stuff when it's less fight-y.

What I'm getting at is, I would be a lazy immortal.

Except for the powers of all the other immortals you've killed.

There's time to learn to read. There's time to do everything. You're immortal, Josh. Embrace it.

Just kill people at the library until you can read.

What caused Hollywood to give the green light to all of these fantasy stabfests? The success of 300?

From Wikipedia:

Immortals is an upcoming 2011 3D action-drama-adventure-fantasy epic film directed by Tarsem Singh and starring Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto, and Mickey Rourke.[1] The film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals and is loosely based on the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur and the Titanomachy.

And I'm sure it'll be the best 3D action-drama-adventure-fantasy epic film of the month. I think I haven't seen that many adjectives modifying a movie since Orgazmo.

I like to keep my myths of Theseus and the Minotaur and the Titanomachy separate, you know, like when children don't want to let their different foods touch on the plate.

I would prefer to avoid all Minotaur films because I think that I wouldn't be able to see the Minotaur and not think of that one Fawlty Towers episode where Manuel gets the moose head stuck on his head.

14: Yes, this exactly. My film will be about Hector and Andromache and Pandora and the arrival of Dionysos!

There's always a chance for some payback, though.

All you need is a hobby. I suggest philanthropy, nuclear physics, and/or landscape gardening.

Hmm. Ironically, this thread appears to be mortal.
