Hey! I know in ancient Greece there were special units of soldiers that were gay. And I'm serious about this, they are historically reported. They worked with couples of soldiers that were actually lovers and every one of them was charged with the defense of the other. It seems they were terrible fighters. And I repeat it, I'm totally serious about this.[/b]

Prolly based on the concept that you fight harder for those you love; especially if the one you love is fighting too.

And I wonder how many slash fanfiction lemons that line is going to inspire.

That's the worst historical film I saw. It's mockery on history. They'd better made a fantasy film than fantasy remix of historical events. Monsters-humans, monsters-creatures and adult content in one episode.[/b]

Wait. WHAT?! HOLLYWOOD? TAKING HISTORY OUT OF CONTEXT?! OH MY GOD I DON'T BELIEVE IT :P
Notice that, as posted above, the movie was based on a comic book; a comic that was
loosely based on historic fact. Are you gonna start insulting Clive Cussler now for not being historically accurate too? Or perhaps the Divinchi Code? :P

What if childs have come to see a historical event in a film?! [/b]

In a movie that's rated R? What? How does possible historical accuracy offset the R rating enough that kids should go see it?

What if they just come to see what kind of people were there? [/b]

I need clarification on what this is saying, 'cause it sounds like he's talking about going to a movie to see the other moviegoers. And frankly I can't imagine people paying upwards of five to ten bucks to stare at other people in a dark room.

...Wasn't BloodRayne about vampires? How does this have to do with historical accuracy? O_o

Don't blame the creators of a product if some of the consumers decide to misuse it.
It's not their fault if some idiot wants to take their kid to a movie that is clearly innapropriate for a child to view.
See, we have this thing; it's called a rating system. And if you bring children into a movie that is clearly labeled to be violent and gory, whatever happens to the kids in result is your own friggin' fault.
Bottom line is you're freaking out over someone's attempt to entertain, not educate. If you put that much pressure into historical accuracy over any and everything else, you're likely going to find better luck on the history channel.
