Constantinople's Best

Just to take a break of all the Matt Damon loving and James T Kirk taking Sunday strolls down the dirt road...here's a hot chick for no reason. YaY! Aishwarya Rai is called by many as the most beautiful woman on the planet, I'm hard pressed to disagree though there's always room for debate. It's not really out of nowhere, she is starring in The Last Legion, another re-imagining of the King Arthur mythology this time placing him as the deposed last Emperor of Rome who flees to Britannia from the German hordes. Here he finds Excalibur blah blah blah you know the rest basically. An interesting mythological theory, though it's also stole from Homer and Virgil when in the Iliad Aeneas of Troy takes the Sword of Troy after Paris is killed (or something..did Paris die? he must have..I have to reread that soon) and then in Virgil's Aeneid he flees the city to roam the seas. Travelling through Egypt and Carthage eventually to settle in Italy and his decedents then eventually become Romulus and Remus, birth of Rome etc, etc. All based on a hero with a sword. It's simply a common image used in story telling, hell He-Man has a power sword too. Anyway, its seems like just a big screen version of Hercules with Romans instead of Greeks and Arthur instead of Kevin Sorbo i mean Hercules. This comparison is helped by the fact that the director worked on the aforementioned Hercules TV show as well as Xena (both awesome btw) Either way, Aishwarya is hot as hell, and I'll probably end up watching the movie at some point. I'm just not going to pay $10 to see it, especially since it comes out against the movie of the year: Superbad.
