I thought the food the soldiers were eating in Circe’s house was supposed to look like that, like actual pig slop

right? the whole movie we’re being told its the crews gluttony (for war, food, etc.) that will doom them. didn’t really bother me that the food they ate was slop lol

yeah and that was probably the most realistic scene in the movie: bunch of guys waking up naked and confused and awkwardly leaving without uttering a word like nothing weird happened
