Okay, so I went to see Kingdom of Heaven. It made me realise one thing: Not only are all libraries connected via L-Space, no, all movies are, too. I'm sure the Reader in Invisible Writings could deduct the nature of all movies not yet made, never to be made and almost-made-but-the-budget-ran-out-and-then-the-star-topped-herself by watching the films that already exist.

It also made me think of the Trousers of Time, and how some characters seem to try to replay their fomer parts and iron out mistakes they made in the past. It doesn't always work out, though.

Anyway, to say it with the words of a friend of mine: How the fuck did they play those parts with no trace of self-irony?*

[livejournal.com profile] fourth_rose and [livejournal.com profile] cutecoati, two renowned historians on my flist, have started [livejournal.com profile] history_spork which will host sporkings of Hollywood's approach to historical accuracy as observed in costume dramas. The idea originated after [livejournal.com profile] fourth_rose and [livejournal.com profile] cutecoati both posted their commentaries on "Kingdom of Heaven" (which, insignificant as it is, has been the topic of my three most recent posts) here and here. They will, ah, discuss "Gladiator" next and are currently looking for suggestions for sporkworthy movies here.
