Greg, if you would for once put your personal vendetta against me aside and simply consider my posts as if any other human being had written them, they wouldn't cause you to say such hostile things to me all the time.

I do appreciate moves AS entertainment, sure. Anyone does. But if they're about history, then I would hope they would manage to be both good entertainment AND good history. And why not? Isn't real history the most entertaining thing of all? I think so. Surely a well-made movie could accomplish both objectives.

I do read history books, you see. And that's why, when I see a movie about history, I am concerned about its historical accuracy. No story could possibly be as good as the REAL story, in my opinion. This is something that usually escapes Hollywood, but now and then they get it right. British films, on the other hand, seem to generally be more historically accurate from what I've seen.

For a really idiotic American film about history, for instance, try the recent "Pearl Harbour" with Ben Affleck. It could hardly have been any stupider or more pointless.

Now, try it. Just pretend, the next time you see any post of mine, that I didn't write it. Pretend that someone you don't already have a huge grudge against wrote it....someone you don't know...someone you never heard of...someone you haven't already decided to loathe, despise, and attack at every opportunity. Just another human being, and no personal ax to grind. I know it's tough, Greg, but you can do it.
