Kingdom Of Heaven

[poliphilo]

A film about the Crusades!

Brilliant!

A Ridley Scott film about the Crusades.

Oh... (long pause.) Will it be as stupid as Gladiator?

Initial reports suggest even stupider.

(Sighs.) Oh well, guess I'll wait till it comes out on DVD.

I saw a clip last night. A cavalry charge in slow motion- oh, puhleeze!

Some Christians are predictably upset about the portrayal of same in the film.

Guys. Crusades. Not your finest hour.

I don't know why it is but the Crusades make me come over all maudlin. Maybe I died at the Horns of Hattin in one of my earlier outings. Whatever the reason, I really, really want this film to be good, and it bugs me that it won't be.
