Details.

We don't have R rating over here, just 18 certificate.

Mergana

In multiplexes minors are not allowed in if the film in R rated. That's why we all go to local cinemas.

sum1

They ignore the rating at smaller cinemas?

Mergana

Well, they're not going to allow say a five-year old in a hard R film, but when they see 12-16 year olds they let them pass.

It's all Greek to me.

Mergana

Greek indeed.

What do you think of this Hollywood rush on Greek mythology? Clash of the Titans, The Immortals, etc? There's even a Phaedra in the latter film.

Mergana

Yeah, my friends told me that. She was in the oracle, while in the myths Phaedra was Theseus' wife who fell in love with his son lol.

I think it's because it has a bit of everything. There are battles, love stories, enemosities which (when bloated up a little bit) make up a good movie. Plus they have the storyline already laid out for them, so it's an easy way to form a script.

sum1

I haven't seen The Immortals, so I didn't know they got Phaedra all wrong. But I'm not surprised.

Mergana

Yeah, it gets kinda personal when they mess up the character you're named after.

sum1

I can imagine!

Mergana

It least Frieda Pinto is cute.

sum1

She definitely is. Even if she isn't Greek.

Mergana

Eh well. No one is in those movies.
