The "Torment a Historian" movie playlist thread

Also, The Life of Brian is so rife with inaccuracies I have a feeling the makers weren't taking the subject matter seriously.

This was the funniest thing. Thank you.

What if we went the opposite path? Chose legendary directors to step outside their usual genres to “elevate“ pop culture icons?

What would Werner Herzog do retelling the Americanized Raymond Burr version of Godzilla?

Or if Ken Burns, handed the entirety of the canon of Star Wars or Star Trek?

How awful would those be?

I was looking of some of my old threads last night and dropped some likes here since this thread predates that system. I was wondering who rezzed this thread and why just a few hours later. It felt a little weird.

I am nothing if not a little weird.

"My dearest Padme:
The Grand Army of the Republic continues to make progress against the threat of the Separatists, though I fear it will still be many weeks before I can once again hold you in my arms. Camp life is difficult as with few amenities. Dysentery has broken out again among the clone troopers."

I’d upvote that one more than once if I could!

“As Emiko and I watched the giant reptile meandering through the smoldering remnants of downtown Tokyo, it was harried by squadron after squadron of fighter pilots. Their brave but seemingly futile efforts reminded me of my own struggles bringing Fitzcarraldo to completion...”

Weird would have been some random member, especially a newer one randomly necroing the thread after I read it. You were responding to something I did, so not strangely coincidental.
