@NapoleonWilson Are you saying that you don't like Billy Zane?
 
@NapoleonWilson The whole thing is right here, if you wanna watch it:
 
@steelerfan No, I'm rather neutral on him. I just know he is in zero good stuff these days. But if it helps, I really like The Phantom, it's a fun movie.
 
But don't. It doesn't anywhere near give you even the tiniest glimpse of an idea of the brilliancy of WoT.
 
@Randal'Thor I know it's on YouTube. I just never had much incentive to engage into it.
@steelerfan Don't worry, I didn't find anything worrisome. You behaved yourself, which is pretty suprising given your levels of drugification. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson See!! I told you!! I have been behaving myself ALL DAY!! ;)
 
12:04 AM
@steelerfan Yeah, tell that the people who don't get e-mails from you. Of course you have! ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson I have no idea what you are talking about!! 0;)

@NapoleonWilson No non-book-reader will ever appreciate WoT. Sorry.
 
@Randal'Thor I didn't claim otherwise. But I'm sure I can appreciate its TV adapation.
Of course I won't be so bold to claim that I'm a ASoIaF fan, but I sure am a GoT fan. I simply know there's a difference between the two and make no assumptions about one based on the other. That easy.
 
No comment :-)

12:39 AM
@NapoleonWilson Would you stop taking advantage of me in my loopy state of mind?!! ;)
 
@steelerfan What? I didn't do anything! What advantage? Gheez, ease a little!
 
@NapoleonWilson Uhm, I am joking!! Gosh!!
 
@steelerfan I know, of course you are. Still didn't get the context at all.
 
@NapoleonWilson Uhm, there was no context. That was the point.

Q: What were the suits in the pack of cards used in Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows

TimThis pack of cards is owned by the fortune teller. It includes the Two of Cups, The Fool and The Devil. When was this version of cards in common use?

 
@steelerfan I read and answered it. Get some rest and don't let all this stuff bog you down completely! I'm there for you if you need me.

Q: Old blind person playing the cello animation

katoFrom what I can recall it starts in what appears to be an old city with an old person, possibly blind, playing the cello. But the actual story revolves around another character. Very dark music and darkly animated. Appeared between movies on the Movie Channel or Showtime. Last saw it in 2011.

I hope you guys won't be mad...
In addition to the well-deserved 1st quarter bounties, I'm awarding a couple more to ID Q&As. I'm just frustrated by all the low-quality ID we've been getting recently and wanted to reward the actual good ones we're getting from time to time. But trust me, these 2 are really, really good ID.
 
8:45 AM
@Walt Your bounty, your decision
 
9:06 AM
@AnkitSharma As long as you're not upset :) I'll award them in a few hours, there are a few I haven't gone over
@AnkitSharma True. Upvoted
 
Ugh. Can't sleep. I really hate being confined to a bed. This seriously is going to make me go insane!!!
 
@Walt I always prefer movie based answer rather then giving reference to unrelated comic work etc
@steelerfan Count the sheep ;)
 
@AnkitSharma Yeah. Right. I slept for about 6 hours. I fell asleep early and I just woke up. No big deal. It's not like I have anything to do all frigging day ;)
 
ohhh, then it's good
I usually sleep 5-6 hours in weekdays
 
Yeah. Me too. I would take some more pain meds to help me go back to sleep, but, they kinda messed me up yesterday...a little more than normal ;)
 
9:16 AM
On the side-note, I got an interesting point to tease my sister till eternity
 
What? Do tell
 
We went to nightclub for dance and booze and my sister was approached by a girl and she joined her in dance and asked for her number and took some pictures.
And me and my brother in law suspect that girl to be a lesbian
So we are teasing her that she got a gf :D
Even there picture is selected in clubs' promotional FB page and our didn't

Q: Does Davos knows what happen to Shireen in season 6 start?

PantherWe know that Davos despises Melisendre in start. But now when Stannis is dead and Jon snow also. Davo suggests to take help from Red Woman (Melisendre), even if we assume that desperate situations needs desperate resolution. How Davos can think of her without rage (hatred is not sufficient) for ...

 
@AnkitSharma OMG. Nothing wrong with that. I would have done the exact same thing to my sister if that happened ;)
 
@steelerfan Anyways that girl was hot too ;)
And my sister is saying that we are jealous :D
 
9:27 AM
Wow. This sounds exactly like my sister and I. We would do the exact same thing to eachother.
 
hahahhaahahaaaa
 
I was hit on by a hot lesbian once. Well, it wasn't really hit on...I was just asked plain and simple. I actually laughed because I thought that she was joking ;)
 
ohhhhh
In this case we are not sure but for teasing we don't have to ;)
 
Oh, totally. I would tease my sister about that forever. My brother in law would as well and then he would be a total guy and want to "invite" her over ;)
 
hahahahahaaaa
My brother-in-law did opposite and he garbed my sister, back to dace with us like a possessive person which he is not
@MovieReel I don't know if i really fixed the season 5 ending spoiler or not. Anyways it's already 1 year old spoiler
And i still have to watch the 2nd episode
 
9:36 AM
Heh, I already wondered that, too. Or I actually wondered if he knew what went down with Stannis at all.
 
@NapoleonWilson I also didn't got that. Why he is acting so normal and only concerned for Jon Snow
 
@NapoleonWilson Are you at work?
 
Anyways i have decided to skip Facebook every Monday mornings, to avoid spoilers from GoT.
 
I am still a flake and haven't started it again. Even though I have all the time in the frigging world at the moment.
 
Any specific reason ?

Q: What are these cartridges that many characters have in the Star Wars movies?

Jason P SallingerAdmiral Ozzel has them on both sides of his uniform (upper chest). Most Imperial officers seem to have them. Han, pictured also here, has three such cartridges on his jacket. I'd like to make such a jacket and use anything that looks like them. I figure they are most closely related to cartri...

 
Er, because I get sidetracked way too easily and end up talking on the phone or hanging out with my niece and nephew and sister. I don't know. It's really hard for me to binge watch shows. I am also addicted to Trivia Crack. There is no hope for me.
Everyone will be gone this afternoon. I will be by myself over here. I will try to start watching then.
 
@steelerfan Yes.
 
<bangs head on laptop>
 
@steelerfan Why are you doing that? That's not really how you're supposed to use those things.
 
9:58 AM
@steelerfan when did surgery happened ?
 
@AnkitSharma Gheez, Ankit. Where in the heck have you been? ;)
@NapoleonWilson Oh, no reason at all. Just checking my emails and I decided to do that ;)

Q: Movie about a teenage boy with mind powers?

Kaleb WynneThis movie has been incredible difficult for me to track down. Google has been ZERO help. OK, I remember watching it around a certain age so I know it was made before 2006 or 2007, and it was a comedy movie. The details I remember are few and far between, but here they are: a boy touches some sor...

 
@steelerfan Saturday was bit busy, cleaning, party etc.....And for Sunday, My sister ruined it and I didn't had my laptop too.
 
@AnkitSharma I'm just messing with you. My surgery was on Friday morning. All is well.
 
@steelerfan Hmpf, ok.
 
10:01 AM
I mean, Rand did pin it over in the other room. Nobody did that over here. Maybe that's why you didn't know, Ankit. I don't know :P
 
@steelerfan hmmmm, ok
 
@AnkitSharma I'm just being a pain in the ass. Really. No worries :)
 
No you are not
 
@NapoleonWilson Sorry. You absolutely baffle me sometimes ;)
 
@steelerfan ;-(
@steelerfan You want me to pin that "pain in the ass" message? ;-P
 
10:05 AM
@NapoleonWilson Awww. Don't be sad. I'm just messing with you...a little :P
 
@steelerfan Of course you are. (By the way, ":'(" is sadness, ";-(" is anger.) ;-P
 
@NapoleonWilson Haha! See! There you go! That's how you need to handle me!! ;)
@NapoleonWilson Oh, well...fine, then! ;-(
 
@steelerfan Aww, sorry, I was just messing with you...a little.
 
@NapoleonWilson OMFG!! ARGH!! Haha!! Nicely done!
@AnkitSharma Wait. I can't watch Game of Thrones. My sister doesn't have Netflix or HBO. She really sucks.
I'm going home on Thursday or Friday. I will start watching it then.
 
@steelerfan k
What about The Time Traveler's Wife
 
10:16 AM
@steelerfan So you're able to move around by yourself then?
 
@NapoleonWilson Probably not, but I am going frigging crazy here and I want to go home.
@AnkitSharma I need to get the DVD.
 
@KutuluMike OK, WUT?!?! I am watching the first episode of season one of Doctor Who. Christopher Eccleston was once the Doctor?!?! OMG.
Raymond Calitri!! No way!
The Duke of Norfolk!! No way!
 
@steelerfan Please don't do anything irresponsible and take your time to recover!
@steelerfan Wow, I never noticed that Raymond Calitri was Christopher Eccleston.
 
@NapoleonWilson but...but, I want to sleep in my own bed...where it's peaceful and quiet :'(
@NapoleonWilson Oh, really? That's the role that I know him the best in. Well, that and the Duke of Norfolk from Elizabeth
I frigging love his accent.
 
10:24 AM
@steelerfan But you also have to keep your health in mind and the avoidance of any post-surgery complications. Remember that you promised me not to do any irresponsible crap, like going swimming after a week or stuff like that.
 
@NapoleonWilson I promise. <hangs head>
I won't be swimming, though. I will just be at home in bed. Doing nothing.
 
@steelerfan Ok, as long as you can take care of yourself.
 
10:41 AM
@NapoleonWilson Awww. I'll be fine. There will be the added bonus of my sister not having to help me into the shower ;)
 
@steelerfan And of me not bothering you with phone calls, I guess?
 
@NapoleonWilson Awww. You can bother me with phone calls if you want to.
 
@steelerfan Unless you're in the depths of uncivilized wilderness.
 
@NapoleonWilson Actually, everyone is going to my uncle's this afternoon. Just call me then. Around 3pm PST!! I won't even have my nephew and niece here to annoy me!!
 
@steelerfan Sounds fine. But I'm sorry for you that you can't go with them.
 
10:50 AM
@NapoleonWilson I know :( I don't even know what to say :'(
 
@steelerfan Well, I've seen that thing a million times. But I guess I haven't even seen much else from that Eccleston guy anyway, apart from like one or two episodes of Doctor Who some 10 years ago.
 
@NapoleonWilson I love that movie. You do know that my dad's Mustang that I wrecked in High School was named Eleanor don't you? This was from the original movie.
 
@steelerfan Yeah, I think I heard that once.
 
Yeah. We are all weird. We all name our cars ;)
Of course, my dad didn't find it too amusing when I wrecked Eleanor. Oh my. I was in big trouble for that one.
 
Well, stupid kids! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wait till your nephew takes Sheena to a drag race to impress some gal.
 
10:57 AM
Yeah. Not happening. EVER!!
Sheena does not leave my sight when she is being driven!!
 
@steelerfan sounds fun to me
 
@steelerfan Well, then your son/daughter maybe.
 
@NapoleonWilson Uhm, NO!
 
Hehe ;)
God, Napoleon. You hear how I lose my s**t with my niece and nephew. There is no way that I could handle that 24-7!! ;)
@AnkitSharma Well, when you get a car, I will help you name it!!
 
11:00 AM
@steelerfan You just need the right person to help you with it.
 
This remind me of a movie where dad and grandpa swap there car for a day and son stole the car and crash it, then repair it and crash it again. Whole family was tense that what will they say to grandpa but in the end grandpa shows that he also crashed there car. Grrrr.....can't ask it as ID question as of my code of conduct
Maybe @Walt can help
@steelerfan Surely. I am planing to buy one next year ( big maybe) as for this year it's entirely impossible
 
@NapoleonWilson Da...er...uhm... runs
 
@steelerfan Hehehe, no worries. ;-)
 
@AnkitSharma Really? OMG. I will be so excited for you!!
@NapoleonWilson I know, silly bean :)
@AnkitSharma License to Drive
The two Coreys are in it.
 
@steelerfan This year, all my money will be on home interior, stupid builder said, i will get it on October now not September :/
 
11:04 AM
@steelerfan Never seen that, but I'd probably like it quite a bit.
What I have seen and love, though, is License to Kill.
 
@NapoleonWilson WUT?!?! You're a fan of 80's movies and you haven't seen License to Drive? OMG!! Classic 80's movie!!
@NapoleonWilson Uhm...Duh! ;)
That's like one of the best Bond movie titles. It's frigging perfect!!

Q: Slasher/comedy film with twin brother and sister killing a group of people

SevenI remember seeing the trailer of this movie 1 or 2 years ago but could not remember the title. I vaguely remember a group of people chased around a house by a killer. There is a woman in the group who is later revealed to be the killer's twin sister. There were some funny scenes in the trailer....

 
@steelerfan I know, right? Some things just stay over there. I wouldn't even know about Risky Business if I hadn't accidentally stumbled across that on a TV afternoon some ~15 years ago.
 
@steelerfan Wow, exactly this one. +++++1
 
@AnkitSharma bows
@NapoleonWilson Good Lord, man! What am I going to do with you? ;)
 
11:08 AM
@steelerfan I loved the movie. Not the bond one as i am anti-spy
 
@steelerfan Indeed.
 
@AnkitSharma I am in absolute shock that you know and like an 80's movie that Napoleon hasn't even seen ;)
 
@steelerfan I can't watch everything! Maybe I'll get it on BluRay some day, though.
 
@steelerfan I have seen few 80s film, i don't rmeeber most of tehre name but few were good
I have seen Corey Haim in some other works too
 
@AnkitSharma Well, that's a start. Now, about you not listening to 80's music... ;)
@AnkitSharma Well, the best is Lost Boys
 
11:11 AM
@steelerfan Nice film indeed.
 
@steelerfan Yeah, that one, Why it's not in my re-watch list
 
@NapoleonWilson Definitely!! I frigging LOVE that movie!!
 
My bucket list in my head sucks this days. I think i need to start writing it down
 
Well, you want to go to Vegas and Miami. I remember that ;)
 
@steelerfan Yeah that list i remember, i mean about the watchlist
 
11:13 AM
You're really not missing much in Vegas. Well, unless you want to have non-stop debauchery ;)
 
Anyways i wanted to see live Ultra music festival too
 
@AnkitSharma You're confusing me!! pops another pain pill
 
@steelerfan What else do people go to Vegas for?
@steelerfan Be a little careful with those things though, ok? ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson Uhm, to get married.
@NapoleonWilson OMG. I'm not serious. I am not taking anymore of those frigging pain meds. I know the dangers of them...I promise :)
 
@steelerfan Right, totally forgot about that... ¬_¬
 
11:17 AM
@steelerfan hahahhaha, i mean i have some to do list in mind. One is what i want to do in life and other one is my watch-list ( full of movies and TV series )
 
@NapoleonWilson Hehe! Wait a minute. runs ;)
@AnkitSharma Well, at least it is a separate list :P
 
I am going to write it today
Maybe on my Diary , which is getting rust
 
You have a diary?
I never would have a diary. OMG. I would get myself into all kinds of shenanigans with a frigging diary ;)
 
@steelerfan Um, the trick is for others to not read what stuff you put in there (well, unless it's a blog).
I'm probably simply to lazy to keep it up. I couldn't even keep up my dream journal, let alone get myself to write a friggin' three-liner more than once every two months. :'(
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, there is no frigging way that I would do that. I'm not very good at that stuff. I'm actually really horrible at it.
 
11:26 AM
@steelerfan Granted. Me probably, too.
 
@NapoleonWilson What in the heck is a dream journal? See, I have no clue.
 
@steelerfan A place where you write down all the awesome dreams you had right after you wake up, so you don't forget 'em (and as well train yourself to be more aware of the dreams you have).
Anyway, probly gotta try get'n me sutt'na eat righ' naoh.
 
@steelerfan @NapoleonWilson do you know Xabby?
 
@AnkitSharma No. I saw that I was invited into some chat room. I have absolutely no idea who that is.
 
@steelerfan I had one , then i destroyed it. This one is second or maybe third which i didn't touched from 3-4 years
@steelerfan Ohh, he is asking some database question. To 4 people (including me) and two of them are you and @NapoleonWilson
 
11:32 AM
@AnkitSharma Yeah. I don't even know what a frigging database is ;)
I guess this person saw the Steelers logo and just assumed that I was all-knowing and wise :P
 
@steelerfan hahahahahha
 
@steelerfan Anyways it's a weak homework question, if he asked it on SO, people might have killed his question.
 
Maybe I should go into the chatroom and just start spouting off random gibberish ;)
 
11:52 AM
@NapoleonWilson Uhm, well I guess I have done that once ;)
 
12:11 PM
@AnkitSharma Urgh, so he's done that to you too?
 
@NapoleonWilson Yup, he asked a database question to a nurse, so picking a MySQL Database engineer was not that invalid ;D
 
gasp
Thor is on tv right now!!
WOOT!!
 
my boyfriend Tom Hiddleston party!! ;)
@AnkitSharma Wut? I actually like that movie. Not just for my boyfriend Tom Hiddleston, but I liked the story.
 
I watched it once, that's it for me. Tom is great in it rest is just fine.
 
12:17 PM
Well, of course he is great in it! He is great in everything!!
I don't get why all women go nuts over Chris Hemsworth. He's just meh. He has no character or style. He's boring.
 
abs.
 
<yawn>
 
HAHA!! OMG. That will now haunt my dreams forever ;)
 
@steelerfan Anyways he does look good but acting wise i am not much impressed
 
12:25 PM
<swoons>
@AnkitSharma I don't think that he is that handsome. I could care less about his frigging abs or his hair ;)
 
On the other hand i don't find Tom hot or attractive but he is impressive by his acting to me
 
His awesomeness is what makes him attractive. He's just cool. Way cooler than stupid Hemsworth.
 
@steelerfan Yeah, that might be, um, something totally unexpected.
 
@NapoleonWilson Are you saying that I constantly spout off gibberish? :P
 
@steelerfan Me, too. I never got why people don't. It has some interesting parts about it, and I really like the ending with Loki letting himself drift into the void.
@steelerfan I find him quite likeable and charismatic in most of his roles, actually.
 
12:30 PM
@NapoleonWilson Right? I really liked that movie!
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, he is likeable in his roles, I just don't go frigging gaga over him like every other frigging woman does.
 
> The mighty Thor! With all your strength! And what good does it do you now?
> What are you doing? If you destroy the bridge, you'll never see her again!
@steelerfan Sure, I don't either.
 
@NapoleonWilson Haha! Uhm, I would hope not ;)
 
@steelerfan If it helps, I can swoon over Natalie Portman.
 
@NapoleonWilson Uhm, sure. Go for it :)
 
12:58 PM
@NapoleonWilson You hardly hate anything.......meh
 
@AnkitSharma And I'm very glad for that.

Q: Do Kryptonians wear diapers?

Rogue JediIn both Superman and Man of Steel, Kal-El arrives on earth au natural. The first version is possibly old enough to be potty-trained, but the second certainly isn't. In the comics, do baby Kryptonians wear diapers? And if not, is it revealed how they "stay clean," so to speak?

 
...
everyone says his cape is made from his baby blanket. but it's really his diaper.
 
His cape was full of poop
 
@AnkitSharma Blurgh!

Q: Are Rory Williams And Rip Hunter the same person?

Andrew CasaliBoth Rory Williams And Rip Hunter are both played by the same actor—Arthur Darvill—and both play a man who's traveled through time and space. One traveled with a Time Lord called the Doctor and one is a Timemaster who's assembled a team to stop Vandal Savage. But they both have the same face. Be...

My next question for Scifi is "Is atom superman", as he is played by same actor in superman returns and arrow.
 
@AnkitSharma Well, we had stuff like that, too. People thinking Juliane Moore's characters are somehow the same across totally different movies.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah and who killed Ra's al Ghul too
I don't know why people want to make connection everytime
 
@AnkitSharma Well, that's at least understandable since it's the same source material and the same character. That was just someone who didn't get what a reboot or remake is.
 
hmmmmm

Q: Want to know about a movie with a nurse who kidnnap a baby

AdrianNeed help in knowing the name of a movie (don't know if it was a television movie) I saw in the seventies. It's the story of a woman who had recently lost her baby, and because of that (she believes) she has nightmares associated with a boy she knew from her past and the way he died. At the end o...

 
@steelerfan No, it's just a non-native speaker not getting a word. Silly question maybe, but not a joke, that would have been intentional.
 
migrate to ELU or ELL?
 
@NapoleonWilson I know, but to bring up "flight" as in airplanes and questioning that from a movie set in the 18th century is kinda...weird to me.
 
Though, it's admittedly worded very stupidly with all the airplane crap.
@steelerfan Yeah, granted.
 
I think that's the point.
 
1:22 PM
@KutuluMike They might kill it on-sight
 
his definition of flight is "flying in the air", and obviously you couldn't do that in the 18th century, so he is confused by the wording.
 
Yeah, I guess.
 
@KutuluMike Sure, but then assuming it could have anything remotely to do with planes is still stupid, even if you don't know what the word means exactly.
 
it would be like someone on The Tudors saying they just got a tweet.
 
Well, that sucks. A question about a frigging awesome movie and it has to be that one!! ;)
 
1:24 PM
@NapoleonWilson I think in his non-native way that's what he's asking. "He can't be talking about airplanes so why did he say flight?"
 
@steelerfan It has normal question too
 
@KutuluMike Yeah, granted.

Q: What was the significance of fort Wilderness in the Patriot?

user8028In The Patriot, what all happened at Fort Wilderness? I know there was a battle, but who was fighting and what was the end result? Was Colonel Tavington involved in this battle? Also, is Colonel Tavington in the movie supposed to represent someone in real life?

At-least looking normal to me
 
@steelerfan Then just pick another one.
 
Gheez. I feel bad for the poor person :(
 
1:24 PM
meh. Patriot was just Braveheart only slightly less accurate.
 
@MovieReel Yeah, those effing baby-kidnapping nurses!

By sound it looks like army/military/war kind of film, so it's in my ignore list
 
@AnkitSharma Uhuh.
@steelerfan Aww, undownvoted. Cheer up! :'(
 
@KutuluMike WUT?!?! You're telling me that Braveheart is more historically accurate than the Patriot? Seriously? I mean, the Patriot is bad, but not as bad as Braveheart!
 
@NapoleonWilson I only skip two genres and pre-90s era. Rest i can live with almost
 
1:27 PM
@NapoleonWilson HAHA!!! I would never kidnap a baby!! I would only bring it back ;)
 
@steelerfan It seems many people, especially Brits, had quite a big problem with the depiction of the British in that film.
 
@NapoleonWilson Well...of course they would! They lost! ;)
 
Grrr....i want to leave for the day to watch GoT, even when i already know the biggest spoiler
 
@steelerfan Braveheart might have had more factual errors but at least the overall general depiction of the Scots and the English was reasonable, merely exaggerated.
The Patriot paints the British as basically equivalent to the Nazis when, in reality, they were far more civilized that many of the Americans. Including the Mel Gibson character, who in reality was a Cherokee-butching a-hole.
and oh yeah. there was this thing called slavery back then.
 
@steelerfan See.

Q: Which characters does this LOST promo refer to?

Rogue JediA very strange, rather avant garde LOST season one promo was shown in the United Kingdom. It referred to various characters from the show. However, many of the lines from it don't really make sense to me. The lines, broken down are this: All of us have a sec...

I want it here :/
 
@KutuluMike Yeah, so? isn't that an accurate depiction?
@KutuluMike Yeah, but it also painted Cornwallis and the other men around him as civilized. The only one that was painted as a "Nazi" was what's his face from Harry Potter.
 
@AnkitSharma Not sure the people on this site like "finite lists" as much, though. But at least it's not a "name all the guys from that pic" thing.
 
@steelerfan as far as I can remember, The Patriot basically ignored slavery entirely, even though Gibson's character owned slaves (and, coincidentally, was accused of horrible mistreating them)
 
@NapoleonWilson This one should've definitely worked
 
@KutuluMike He never owned slaves! They specifically state that they work the land for Gibson and are paid to do so. Mistreating them? Wut? Mel Gibson's character in The Patriot? How so?

@AnkitSharma Sure, just warning you. As said, it's definitely one of the better kinds of those things they get occasionally.
@steelerfan I think he's speaking about the guy his character was supposed to be based on (if the movie ever claimed to tell that guy's story is a different question, though, I guess).
 
@steelerfan the guy that he is based on, Francis Marion was a slave-owner who was accused of raping a lot of his female slaves. The fact that the movie turns them into willing freeholders is the whole problem.
 
Now, if there was a movie about the frigging Civil War that ignored slavery, then I would say something, but I really don't see the big deal about "ignoring" it about a Revolutionary War movie.
 
@steelerfan Because people expected an accurate biopic rather than an action adventure inspired from some real stuff.
 
because the "family man fighting for freedom and justice for all" was, in actually, a slave-owning native-slaughtering terrorist who was 10000000000000000000000000x worse than the "bad guys" he was fighting againt.
thus, Patriot is worse than Braveheart
 
They basically went into an Emmerich film ignoring the director's name on the billboard or whatever oblivious intention.
 
1:40 PM
Yeah, whatever.
 
I make no claims as to which was the better movie (they both kinda sucked) but in terms of historical accuracy -- which is what we were talking about -- The Patriot just fails on every level.
 
This is the first that I have ever heard of that movie being based on Francis Marion.
 
@KutuluMike Just that one of those characters was intentionally named and based on a real person.
 
I mean, Braveheart literally tells everyone that the story is of William Wallace and it is complete and total BS.
Why isn't Gibson's character named Francis Marion then? I'm confused.
 
@steelerfan given how much press the movie got at the time with people howling about how horribly they messed up Marion's story, I think it's pretty general knowledge that he was the basis for Mel's character.
Why not? Hollywood does that all the time.
 
1:44 PM
@KutuluMike Yeah, I still have never heard of it. Did the producers actually admit that Benjamin Martin's character was based on Francis Marion?
 
maybe Gibson didn't think the name was cool enough sounding. Plus, Marion isn't famous like Wallace was, so there's no benefit to using his real name.
 
Yeah, so what? If The Patriot is supposed to be a movie about the guy's life, then use his real frigging name. They used Cornwallis real name.
 
What difference does it make? Nobody knows the name "Benjamin Martin" either.
 
I'm also not really sure why you're being so combative; you're literally the first person I've ever seen disputing who that movie was about.
I bet you enjoy plenty of movies who are secretly about a-holes.

it's a sad day when terrorism causes enough fear to have a person checked for condoms when they go through security
OMG
 
@KutuluMike Because people rarely talk about that film.
 
the real Erin Brokovich, for example, got all that money for the townspeople -- then took all of it and stopped answering their calls.
@NapoleonWilson yes, but "I've never heard that" is different from "I refuse to believe you."
 
@KutuluMike OMG. You think that I am being combative? I was just having a conversation with you. I'm sorry if I seemed combative. I really didn't mean to be.
@KutuluMike I don't refuse to believe you at all. I have just never heard that. When did I say that I refused to believe you?
 
@KutuluMike I don't refuse to believe you that his character was inspired by him, that may very well be. I refuse to believe you that the movie actively claimed to be a historic depiction of him, since it simply didn't.
 
Great. Now, I feel bad that I was combative or something :(
 
1:56 PM
@steelerfan Yeah, I know that feeling. :'( Don't worry too much.
 
OMG :'(
