Just FYI: In Prepartion for Your Next Sermon Clip or Men's Breakfast

Yes, it's true that they can take our lives, but they can never take . . . OUR FREEEEEDOMMMM!!!!!!

But Gladiator and BraveHeart are two of the most inaccurate movies ever made, according to Yahoo.

Just so ya know.

more like, who needs to watch more than one of them?

braveheart = gladiator = the patriot

just change the accents, skirts, and weapons.
much like remember the titans = glory road = i'm guessing).

i enjoy these films, don't get me wrong. but they don't make it into my top 10.

I don't even care because Braveheart is my most favoritest movie of all time! Mel + kilt + incredible love story + awesome fight scenes = Best evah...

4. Ellen - 03/21/2008 5:58 pm CDT

Count me in on the Mel+kilt love.



I need a drool icon.

I'm not sure that Gladiator is in the same category as Braveheart, accuracy-wise.

I mean, at least Russell Crowe's motives were very Roman...as were the motives of the villain.

Braveheart has really next to nothing to do with Scottish history. But is a wonderful, wonderful story.

"I need a drool icon."

The chicks have taken over this post! Man!

9. Ellen - 03/22/2008 11:41 am CDT

And it could be like this ALL the time...if you had chicks around...
