Druids (*sigh*) - Anonymous - 12-23-2001 Do NOT see this movie starring Christopher Lambert. I had such high hopes for this movie about Vercingetorix. The optimist in me kept saying, "This will be a good one..."<br> <br> Well...It wasn't. The history was ALL WRONG, and the costumes were HIDEOUS. The Romans looked like...like...Remember that Mickey Mouse photo I posted a few months ago? <p><BR><p align=center><font color=gold><font size=3> __________________<BR> CASCA TARQUINIUS<BR> <a href=http://www.legio-ix-hispana.org> LEGIO IX HISPANA</font></font><BR><font color=gold><font size=3> __________________</font></font></p><i></i> Druids - scythius - 12-23-2001 Avete, omnes!<br> <br> It seems to me that somewhere Quintus (Matt Amt) posted a review of this ...movie.... from one of his friends.<br> <br> It was pretty darn funny (matching in tone with Quitus own review of that Russell Crowe abomination)<br> <br> It may be buried here in the archives.<br> <br> Scythius Antiochus<br> Decanus - CONII<br> LEG~IX~HSPA <p></p><i></i> Re: Druids - Anonymous - 12-23-2001 Thanks, Scyth.

I only finished watching it so that I would never be temped to rent it again, just to see how it ended. I was bitterly<br> disappointed. <p></p><i></i> |
