This thread should be topped!

No, stopped - while we're all still relatively sane.

[Pekka]

well sanity is relative.

Personally my favourite bit was when they brought out the trebuchets. The appearance of the ninjas in the extended version was especially cool too.

Here's a list for ya:

The Patriot
U-571
Monty Pythons Life of Brian

Watch these and you won't even have to crack a book!

I only take history lessons from movies. Those book writers never get anything right. It's all totally different from the movies!

Great recommendations, btw. However, saw them all a while ago.

The Patriot
U-571
Monty Pythons Life of Brian

Life of Brian was the most realistic of those

[Pekka]

well you should be looking forward to see my short film 'Aladdin, Take Two'. It's a documentary about how Aladdin, the loved childrens movie in fact was the setup for the terrorism today, and how Prince Ali and OBL are like THIS SON! (*fingers together*)

[BeBMan]

That's nothing against "The Thief of Baghdad" with its obvious Al Queda references!

[Dr Strangelove]

Hey guess what? They're re-doing Pocahontas only under a different title and in live action. The good news is that the 10 year old native american princess is still incredibly hot and hittable! The bright side is that they didn't hire Dakota Fanning to play her.

After reading you other post about O'Reilly - has Dr. Stranglove had his lithium today?

edited to fix smiley

Hmm, I wonder, is it still a Freudian slip if you're saying what you mean to say, you just shouldn't have said it?

If I had to watch trebouchets and ninjas in a King Arthur movie, I'd be blinded for the rest of my life.

He's being more than a little bit sarcastic. If you saw the Disney movie, Pocohantas was around 19 yrs old in the film, extremely hot and hittable. Whereas in real life she was just a 10 year-old girl.

[Gibsie]

To be fair there weren't actually any ninjas in the movie, although it's the kind of historical crap-up that you should expect in such a film.

I wonder how they came to the idea that the knights of the round table would be from Sarmatia...........

The only thing I know about Sarmatia is the cataphract, a body armor for the knights and their horses. Rarely mentionned in movies. Therefore, if the knights weared a cataphract, they were REALLY from Sarmatia, and the movie is well documented.

Hence the at the end.



Okay, okay. So I didn't get it.

At least not all of it.

But I did sense there was some hint of something to it.

A little bit.
