Why are we okay with every robin hood movie being an interpretation, but all the sudden the oddesy needs to be historically perfect?
Because racism
And because "ewwww trans person."
It's all just so pathetic.
Evidently Lupida isn't beautiful enough to be Helen even as she is one of the prettiest women alive.
Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy? First I've heard of it, but she's gorgeous, and a very talented actor. I think she's a good choice.
I haven't seen it but I bet she did a great job, as always
That's only true if you're not a racist piece of trash, so...
"This person doesn't have the correct generalia" ??? They are fools
They'd like everyone to look like, I don't know, Bruce bailaban, Lucy lawless, some third thing, or hells forbid another space commerce gremlin. It's important for the sex scenes to have the right amounts of nips and penes.
I would not mind everybody looking like Lucy Lawless.
Especially in her Xena days. What a queen.
i dunno. she ages like the finest of wines
