Orlando you wuss!

This post contains spoilers about LotR, Black Hawk Down and Troy

After building in my new speakers in my car this weekend. (Hmmm have to keep that one for another post) I thought it was time for a movie. So I went out and rented Troy again. I saw that movie in the cinema. And after I saw the scene where Paris was begging for his life, ... again, I had a flashback to a conversation I had with a friend. She was totally idolizing Orlando and (of course) loved Troy. So I asked her if she really preferred Orlando Bloom over Eric and Brad. I got a "duh?!" back as an answer.

So women prefer a wussie guy, who cries after a small cut in his leg, can surf on a shield over a staircase, is a wussie pirate wanna-be and gets himself in the hospital after missing a rope while jumping out of a helicopter. On the other hand, Brad had genious roles in Fightclub, Se7en and other awesome movies and Eric was the Hulk for Pete's sake! The fighting scene between Hector and Achilles is one of the best man to man fighting scene I have seen in the movies. Very well done.

I just don't get it. Orlando will always be a wuss to me. Maybe if he is given a role to play a wuss, he can win an Oscar for that :-)
