The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>The message is powerful. Holy shit. Don't wait for it on video(except you, Red)! But it's a loooooong movie.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Good. I like long movies. Movies should be longer.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>Who says I didn't see one? :)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Hell yeah it is.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Hell, yes, Traffic is a great film. If it loses out to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for best picture, I'll be sorely disappointed.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Well, you can rest about that one. I think Gladiator has it in the cards to win. Crouching should win for Best Foriegn Film though.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Even more depressing.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Yep, I plan on seeing that one sometimes Prez Day weekend...along with Hannibal.</div>

<div style='font: bold 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>a bunch of us just had a huge dinner at WWF New York. it was late, we went to a crappy theater and it was damn crowded. almost fell asleep a couple of times, the color in those Mexican shots really didn't help.

on any another day, it would have been an awesome movie.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Why the hell is Gladiator even nominated as best picture? It was a good action film, but it was JUST an action film</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>WHAT?! Damn you. Gladiator had a *very* good plot and incredible acting. It was a real old-school throwback to the old Roman epics (where real acting also happened). It was an off year for films, but Gladiator deserves the nod given the competition (or lack thereof)...</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Oh please...he killed the EMPEROR in the gladiator arena and nobody cared! Do you honestly think that would happen?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Commodus actually DID participate in the Arena. Lots of people DID want him dead as he was one paranoid dictator. And you know what paranoid dictators do - they kill people.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Sure it would have. Everyone was shocked in the movie. And besides, it wasn't like it was unusual for a Roman emporer to be killed by a foe...and like Joe said, a lot of people wanted him dead anyway....</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>No one liked this Emporer, his high-ups included.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Man, my money was on tea and crumpets.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>He did, but he didn't die there.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Lots of people may have wanted him dead, but the people still held allegiance to him. I don't think they would have left him lying there.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Bah, "the people" let Roman emporers get assinated all the time...and plus it was clear that they liked Maximus more than Commodus anyway...</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>I don't know enough about this subject to argue it, really...I still think it was kinda silly though</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Al Gore didn't invent tea yet back then.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>[groan] Ya know, he never made that claim as people think he did.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>Who cares...</div>
