What are some good "sword and sandal" movies?

Leezard (Bob) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:28:20 GMT

Well... maybe just some good "sword and shield" movies. I've got:

Troy
Alexander
Gladiator
Kingdom of Heaven
300

Any others?

Also, why does have a Goku haircut?

And people say Canada produces nothing of value.

I'm appalled at such people, frankly.

Another Nuclear Test by North Korea...

Another Nuclear Power?? I'm beginning to think the UN is just as ineffective as the League of Nations... NK has gone against UN sanctions consistently, and no action has been taken.. thoughts?

Take a decent series' theme and slap it on a much better series and...

Rise and Fall of Rome

Seary — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:45:20 GMT

Just wanted to say, that BBC program on Nero is AMAZING! If you guys get the chance, ask Earle for it, or one of the other ones. This makes it seem like he was out of his F****** mind more than anything I've ever been able to see!

How the SEALS did it.

RoniPasta — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:31:00 GMT

We were discussing this in class today and we were all wondering how those Navy SEALS managed to kill three pirates at once without giving them the chance to kill the hostage (not to mention the type of lifeboat they were in provided almost complete cover) Here's what I learned: Now, Sunday night, they were 25 or so yards from their targets, waiting. Their mission, fraught with risk for the hostage, was one that SEAL snipers are trained to do, Couch said. The opportunity arrived. The ...

Using some nice auction sniper software, I managed to pick up the last and best part of my BSG collection!

New Forum Layout

Earle — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:40:38 GMT

To all members:

I've taken and put a new format to the Forum, and compressed a few of the forums down. This should make navigating a bit easier, and you should obviously notice the emblem of the LHS from Regionals has been carried over to the site now.

Enjoy.

Last Reading for BSG cast

Earle — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:24:12 GMT

I found this link of the cast doing the final reading of the show. Mock me all you want, but as a fan of the show for the past 7 years, it's hard not to get misty-eyed when you see Adama loose it....

My BSG collection thus far

Earle — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 21:07:55 GMT

I'm working on a putting together an insignia rank collection, and will put the patches in a black shadowbox behind the Galactica. The propworks auction pamphlet will probably be here in a week or so. The Galactica didn't have its name on the flightpods or behind the emblem on the top, but the new stickers fit just great.

Lulin to Come Into View This Weekend

Seary — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:13:54 GMT

Just throwing this out there for Earle and anyone else interested in Astronomy. The Comet Lulin will be visible in the night sky with binoculars in a low light area, or with a telescope, near Saturn. This comet is especially interesting since it has an "inverted" tail and appears to be going the "wrong way". I know ill keep a look out. Tried to find a picture of the tail... this is the best I could do.

Hmmm....makes me not want to go near drivers ed....

Well, this is the 5th and final season for Atlantis, however there is a light on the horizon.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Universe Basically, series number 3 for them, but it sounds a bit "Voyager'ish" to me. So, we've got this as a breakdown: now up to January--Atlantis finishes for good end of January until April?--Galatcia finishes for good Summer '09--Stargate Universe starts Fall '09--Caprica starts Hmm.....
