    as I said, I have to re-watch it to discuss consistently the scene that made me laugh out loud, it was something about someone who was supposed to (maybe sent?) to kill him, and something happened that I can't clearly remember now, but that was ridiculous. Now I think I maybe have to watch it again, there seems to be a lot of Gladiator fans around and I probably owe you a more detailed explanation of my position.

    Well don't go to any lengthy effort on my behalf, I was just curious why you didn't like it.

    I like it just fine for both of us.

    Frog Dreaming, or The Quest, or The Go Kids.

    All the same movie, just three different titles. As a kid I loved that movie and haven't been able to find it now that I'm grown. However, before I found the title of it last week, I had tried to describe it to people who looked at me like I was high. LOL

    You're more gracious than I, though, bear, because someone would probably have to pay me to get me to watch it again!!

    well, I felt some relief after Brother John said he didn't really want such a sacrifice

    I'm not gonna make you watch a movie you didn't like for the sake of argument, I'm not THAT evil.

    Are you kidding?! I thought his accent was awful He was like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins!

    That being said, Spike was probably my favourite character along with Faith, so I forgave him.

    I thought his basic British accent was ok, but he kept trying to speak in a cockney accent which is where he went wrong. Plus, the type of affluent young man he was before he got vamped, he would have had an upper class accent anyway...and then considering on top of that that he'd been in America so long he'd have an American accent anyway - like Angel, who completely lost his Irish accent.

    But y'know, not that I take Buffy seriously or anything...

    It's just so odd and fun! What's not to love about a rock opera chronicling the journey of a repo man who repossesses peoples' organs?

    When it comes to Hitchcock films, I feel like this one always gets overlooked. But it's such a beautiful film.

    This should come as no surprise to my friends from the Horror thread:

    Trick 'r Treat
    Finished The Dark Tower at 6:03AM on December 21, 2009.

    The man in black fled across the desert,
    and the gunslinger followed.

    In Bruges.

    I too love Gladiator. Sure, it has its faults, but it's just a movie. Its main objective is to entertain, not teach.

    Although I can see where certain things could prohibit a person from being entertained.

    Awesome.
    You're seriously the second person outside of my family who has known about this movie. (As far as I know, of course.)
    I own both of them, but haven't watched the second one in years. Still, the original is a classic, IMO.
