Watch (insert grosely overpayed actor who has you have better-than-even odds on has no experience with whatever XXXXX is) in the movie (Insert random peice of fiction * here) by (Insert director who very well has no clue what XXXXX is like either)! That's why XXXXX sucks!"That's some realy convincing argueing, I tell ya what...Though, I guess it's no worse really than the "fencing is the best style of combat eh-vah!" types... who tend to be really arrogant about it to boot.***Since I'm not familiar with the work in question, I suppose it's possible it's historical fiction. But that is STILL fiction. IE, "The Patriot", while based on some historical events, was still fiction. Esp. that horrible, horrible fight scene near the end. *retches* Gawds, I reminded myself of it... I must go beat myself with a hammer... The same goes for Pearl Harbor, and many other movies, for that matter. **Note, I don't mean people who like fencing. I mean people who learn I take kenjitsu and then start a 10-page prepared speach about how I'm wasting my time and they could kick my arse in a half second because everyone knows that fencing is the best fighting style in all the world. Those people irk me in ways I can't even fully explain.</blockquote>
