# it was rather his dubious
and extremely anti-English rewriting of history, that dicked me off.

# it became a bit of a joke, his anti-englishness
i mean, i don't mind when he makes the english out to be a bigger bunch of cunts than they are - braveheart, the patriot, etc - but in we wee soldiers or whatever it was called, he actually wrote an english character out and divvied up th heroics performed (for example: he jumped on a grenade to save his platoon - it didn't go off) between yanks...

the man's just laughable...

# yes but
apparently he's making a bit of a habit of that sort of thing. After the (fantastically dodgy) The Patriot and now with this The Passion thing.

[edit]And now I must get in the shower, and sort out some brekkie, and stuff.

# the Patriot
is a good bit worse than Braveheart for that.
