Oh that was enjoyable. Thank you (saves me fast forwarding through the movie).

I don't know whether anyone has previously posted the 'history-spork' commentary on The Patriot - but it's a great look at the film's historical accuracy (and the occasional (um) appreciation of Jason):

I didn't like the music at all,sorry. It's a historical movie- a classical music (or a march) would fit better. But the scenes are nice, seen them so many times.

That was actually quite funny!! They may have been slamming the movie, but it was well humored, enjoyable slamming :P

I just got back from London where I saw the famous Joshua Reynolds painting of Banastre Tarleton.

Angel, I thought of you. ;-)

So that's where you've been!! Hit all the right places, apparently! Welcome back, and I hope the rest of the trip lived up to that highlight!

As there's not a lot happening here in The Land of the Lost Girls, :weed I thought I might as well post this.

Last night I watched the most recent episode of Sleepy Hollow, which, "K", a poster on another board I frequent, described as:
... about Ichabod Crane being a spy for George Washington during the revolutionary war having a spell cast on him and the headless horseman, who is the 4th horseman of the apocalypse, putting them to sleep for 350 years...


While doing my leg-raises, :oops: , I jumped up, having overheard a familiar name. Apparently Ichabod's commanding officer during the revolution was one "Colonel Tarleton". This incarnation of the real-life man is much worse than Jason's; he is actually a demon. :twisted:

This phenomenon, of finding Jason anywhere, is what I like to call, "Desperate for news."

Or maybe it's just 6 degrees of Jason.

I saw that too Fruitbat - I got all excited and looked at my DH and said do you know who that is?? Then proceeded to give him the Tavington - Tarleton education. LOL

And the actor in Sleepy Hollow seems to be doing a wonderful rendition of Jason as Tavington. Kinda resembles him, too.

Dang it. I've been watching Sleepy Hollow (and really enjoying it), but I often only come in on the last half, because I've been distracted during the first half by things I have to do for real life. So I've managed to miss most of the first-halves (and while it's a great show, it's not so deep that I can't figure out what happened in the first part). Ditto for this past Monday. I will have to go and watch it on-demand now, since I missed that reference. How fun! Thanks, fruitbat!!

Well, Tarleton managed to come out of the war smelling like roses, so I suspect Tavington would have too, if he'd managed to kill off Martin first. First rule for baddies: No long monologues about how you've won UNTIL AFTER you kill the good guy. Geesh.

A tweet from Roland Emmerich (director of The Patriot) on the occasion of his recent 58th birthday...
