  1. The Pope called for them, and people were like "Sure!", but nobody really went. EDIT: Those that did mainly killed Jews and raided Christian cities before being killed by Muslims. It took some later armies and kings and such to go: "**** it, I'll go", for the ball to start rolling. The Pope called for them, at least partially, because of all the crap the Turks (muslims) were pulling at the time, tho. And of course I don't mean you, my freind who believes in the invisible magical guy in the sky, thats not Zeus. No, I didn't actaully mean you, didn't even know you were religious till right then.
  2. But i know we both agree that the cruscades made the Christians look bad, and the Romans had Gladiators. I wasn't really being specific in names or anything. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, you could easily argue that the chrisitians didn't start/spark the crusades, it's just another one of those "he did this, so I did this, so he did that" episodes. But as for making chrisitans look bad, they do that all the time, so yes, it's historically accurate. "
  3. Yea, Saladin (not exactly the noble guy in the film) took back Jerusalem, much like the Romans actually fought the Gauls and Marcus Aurelius existed like in Gladiator. The history lessons tend to get very foggy from there.
  4. I just saw Kingdom of Heaven a couple days ago. The story shows a lot about how Christians totally lost credibility by going on the cruscades and killing "infidels". my favorite theologically incorrect quote in the movie was from a young catholic monk, "To kill an infidel is not murder, it is the path to salvation." lol, such bad theology for a Christian. I enjoyed Orlando Bloom's character because he looked past his illogical priests/advisors who were spouting out blasphemy and instead he focused on being rightous and benevolent. Surprisingly, it was a emotional movie for me, even though i felt that it slightly lacked in the romance department. i don't know how you could make that better, it must be hard to write romance well, but i thought it was good enough for what the movie is, and it complimented it. The Muslim main character i thought was generally a nice guy from what was shown. In summary, you should watch the movie if you already haven't, but make sure you don't go generalising Christianity solely because of it, and even Islam for that matter. It's more of a historical fiction, so keep that in mind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good thing one of us did That movie was as accurate as Gladiator, it was enjoyable, but largely false.
  5. I thought it was, for an action/comedy, great. On of the witter movies like it I have seen in awhile. (I see this as the Rush Hour/Bad Boys type of movie, but better than both)
  6. Serious, but needed, bump! This is HILARIOUS! Serenity with puppets: LINK The best line is, imo:

  8. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starwa...=6140634&page=1 I hope they don't make hero units too powerful. Not a fan of hero based RTS. I really like how the rebels have to steal tech advences from the Empire

  17. Actually, how he gets these films made is via a German tax loophole, which has recently been closed. So, in theory, he's going to have a much harder time get the funding for films

  22. iirc, your having some problems with minorities and such and I still say the US should just vote away slavery now. "Slavery? No, we voted that away years ago, sorry for the confusion."
  23. It's taken 25 minutes to load 3/4s of it, but holy crap, did ALOT of well known actors agree to get ****ed in the ass by being in it. Including Ron Perlman I know having VB cancelled was hard on everyone, but why Ron? Why? EDIT: Just finished it. I'd just like to thank Germany for their tax loopholes that allowed this unholy film to come in to existance.
  24. Then we'll just make you come to us ::turns to his trusty assistant:: Tell them to cancel hockey again
