Agreed. AE is obviously borked as there is no nudity in it.

But there is constant figurative copulation......as in either one side or the other is screwed at any given point in time.

From all the crying, it's both sides at the same time.

Then technically, everyone should be satisfied, no?

I was reading some reviews on the new Robin Hood movie yesterday. Some of the movies were complaining the movie wasn't following history. Did these guys forget that Robin Hood is a legend? The guy din't really exist. When you are telling a story that is fiction you can move things around a little.

It was a good movie. Who cares that King Phillip didn't really try to invade England in 1199. Most people still think that John was a bad king. That is fairly well documented. He did manage to lose most of his French possessions before he died. For crying out loud it's a movie...................

And yet everyone (including me) loved Braveheart.......

Who couldn't love a movie with Sophie Marceau in it???

Apparently playing a 3 year old girl (although I am slightly confused by that. Come sources say she would have been 3-4, others say she wasnt born yet. And I was too lazy to check).

She played the French princess.

I don't care about all of that "not historically accurate" crap.

Besides, it's an excuse for me to post a picture of her.

A thief swiped a set of keys from a patient in Coney Island Hospital, then used it to break into the man�s home and swipe his car.

The victim told police he was inside the Ocean Parkway hospital at 6 am on May 15 and fell asleep knowing his keys were on his night stand.

While he was asleep, someone took the keys and went to his home, which is on on Avenue S between East 1st and East 2nd streets, and took an assortment of clothes, video games, jewelry, a laptop computer and the keys to a 2003 Chevrolet Impala, which was also taken.

Five days later, cops caught up with the Impala, and the 22-year-old suspect, at the corner of Neptune Avenue and West 27th Street, and charged him with the theft of the keys, the burglary and the car theft. The thief�s name is not being released because he may be related to his victim.

Two brothers have a lifelong dream to immigrate to America. They work hard and save their money. After many years, they have saved enough money and finally emigrate into New York. Before they begin building their new lives in America, they decide to see some of the famous places they dreamed of for so long; the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Rockettes, and others. Eventually, they make their way to Coney Island. As they stroll down the beach, taking in all the newness of America, they see a very large billboard that reads: "HOT DOGS," with a big arrow pointing down to a little hot dog stand. Being hungry and seeing that having an American hot dog would be something new, they decide to try one. So they order two hot dogs and sit on a nearby bench to enjoy another piece of Americana. The first brother sets his hot dog in his lap, unfolds the paper wrapper, looks at his hot dog for a moment, and suddenly wraps it back up. He then turns to his brother and says, "What part of the dog did you get?"

Mechanics/Surgeons

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Range Rover when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his Mercedes when the mechanic shouted across the garage: "Hey doc, can I ask you a question?"

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the Range Rover.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked: "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.
So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over and whispered to the mechanic: "Try doing it with the engine running."

A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license.

She replies in a huff: "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license
and then today you expect me to show it to you?"

I know, Mike. But her character would have been 3 years old (see above for caveat) at the time Wallace was executed.

There are others worng issues in the film: Edouard Second would be younger too; Edouard I was not in war with King Philippe IV at the time of the story (there was a truce); Edouard Ist did not died at the time of Wallace death; the minion of Edouard II was not killed at this time by Edouard I (wich in the film through him out of window), although some history sources say that Edouard I really get ride of one friend of his son in brutal ways. And the Scots never ever reached York (although Bruce, not Wallace, did often raid North England during the long war between 1302 and 1314, before Bannockburn). And Bruce never betray Wallace: they were not even friend.

SO history is as usual in a movie betray.
But anyway, i liked the film.
And i liked Sophie Marceau (but this is not new

). And you guys surely didn't seen her younger in her first few movies....

You could play it in the nude.

1) Stop giving him ideas
2) How do you know he doesnt already?
3) Does that give you a positive modifier?

1/ I welcome "out of the box" thinking.
2/ There could be a reason why I have my webcam off ...

3/ Hmm ... maybe you should put that question out in the main forum to see if somebody is willing to test that theory.
