bedlamsbardI think the saddest thing about being a MEMS major is that now I can't watch most historical movies without wincing and weeping. Which is sad, because historical action/adventure used to be one of my favorite genres.
I watched King Arthur over spring break. I managed to get through most of the history!fail by telling myself it was really taking place in a fantasy world that closely resembled ancient Britain, but wasn't really! Somewhere near the end my attempts at this fell through. Gladiator is good with the action but bad with the sheer WTFery of ancient Rome. I am kind of afraid to watch either the new Robin Hood or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (which I actually like, by the way), partly because I am now incredibly fond of King John. (Oh, my lovely unpopular opinions, they are very strange.)
On the bright side, at least I have always been of the opinion that Kingdom of Heaven was a rubbish movie, so nothing to be disillusioned of there!
