ye gods you can tell I am in a hotel room again :-[
I was just thinking about those films that you maybe like or dont, but there comes a moment in it when you suddenly sit up and go "Hang on a minue...."
I had such a moment whilst watching the 13th Warrior the other night... Was it the costume... nope (just love the mix of Gladiator and 16th century helmets for a start but as it is a fantasy film i will let it off :D I actually really like the film ( was painting goblins to it at the time).... anyway I digress
The Wendol, cool looking baddies in a bear head dress waving bear clubs etc... however my hang on a moment moment came thus... bl**dy hell there are thousands of them...all wearing bear costumes, bears that have a possibility of 1 bear with a home range of between 28 and 1,000 sq. kms. so basically the whole tribe have wiped out all the bears in Scandanavia it would seem. second hang on a moment moment was the horses, somehow nobody noticed a vast herd of horses in the locality. that many horses would require a huge range to feed and to be fair they wouldnt need much tracking skills to track that many horses...
As I said, not a dig at the film , it is what it is... anybody else had a "hang on a moment" moment? :-\
Hang on...why doesn't Gandalf call down Gwahir, lord of the Eagles, to fly Frodo directly to Mount Doom to lob the One Ring into the fires...?
Hang on...i don't care if there aren't any life signs on that escape pod from this rebel ship, blow it up anyway.
If Grady's ghost can let Jack out of his confinement, why can't he do his own bloody work with an axe? And why is he referred to as Charles at the interview, but calls himself Delbert later when we see him? And why, when the cook arrives, has Jack chopped down two door panels, not one?
It's still a definite on my list of the top ten movies ever, mind you. There are also slip ups in Macbeth, and the Art of the Fugue too....
