Ibsen it isn't!"<BR/><BR/>So, maybe I just didn't get that head on right... Although, I have to say, the two ten-year-olds next to me got pretty bored and restless once the popcorn had run out...Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-23785659188257099932008-03-16T08:45:00.000+00:002008-03-16T08:45:00.000+00:00MICHAEL comments....Contrary to your stellar thoug...MICHAEL comments....<BR/><BR/><BR/>Contrary to your stellar thoughts on '10,000 B.C.' - which by the way should be '10,000 B.C.E.' (Before the Common Era) - your obedient servant liked the film immensely.<BR/><BR/>Shades of Charlton Heston... Every historical or pseudo-historical film ever made for an English speaking audience had the characters speaking English. <BR/><BR/>Even in a certain THREE-film-series, about some folks in a place called 'Middle-earth', everyone spoke English - and when they spoke Elvish, it was shown in sub-titles.<BR/> <BR/>It was a fun romp, and I was easily able to suspend my disbelief, just as I would for 'Mary Poppins', 'Fantastic Voyage', or Laurel and Hardy in 'Babes in Toyland'!Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-85649521917040329892008-03-16T00:20:00.000+00:002008-03-16T00:20:00.000+00:00ELLIOT - True!BORIS - Sorry to disappoint you!GOOD...ELLIOT - True!<BR/><BR/>BORIS - Sorry to disappoint you!<BR/><BR/>GOOD DOG - Warner's did ask me if I had a quote and, if I did, whether they could use it in publicity.
