  1. Yeah I read that around the time that she was pregnant in the movie, the real Isabella would have been 9 years old. Apparently something like this happened in a play that inspired this in Wallaces writing. When I first saw the movie when I was younger I didn't pay much attention to how blatantly homosexual edward II was. I rewatched it recently aswell and I just laughed at it. During their wedding he stares at Philip - his secret boyfriend - and he looks repulsed at the thought of kissing Isabella. He also orders a servant to hold a mirror so he can check his outfit as he walks. It might seem over-done, but you have to remember that in 1995 homosexuality in movies was still pretty rare. It wasn't yet considered taboo to make a character too gay. Also, Edward II's sexuality was the only source of conflict in the English camp besides the troubles with Scotland. That was the entire path they chose for the English storyling. Wallace was supposed to be fighting to avenge the death of his wife and family. So it seemed unnecessary for Wallace to sleep with Isabella, but it was a conclusion to the conflict surrounding Edward's sexuality.Edward II and Isabella didn't talk about it throughout the entire movie, neither did the father and son. Also, it was the only display of empathy from the English camp.But she was sort of disassociated from the English throughout the entire movie, so I understand what you mean when you say they didn't "humanize" them.
  2. they were 14 and 15 when frogstomp was written and recorded but it's their best selling album by far. it's also grunge, not post grunge diorama is the worst album. that's reflected in sales and the fact that he can't sing any of those songs live
  3. the news sucks but I like how they call it an "accident".he died shooting his documentary titled "The Ocean's Deadliest". this guy was an audacious fool. I don't feel bad because he cheated death more times than any of us could ever hope to. his show was basically just him harassing animals. He was no doubt hovering over the stingray saying something like, "crikey! never approach a stingray like I am or else he'll..." Atleast he died before he put his family in any real danger. and I mean that in the nicest possible way
  4. I don't get it. how is this an interview. she's on his lap the whole time and the whole time he just harasses her with the stereotypical sleazy french accent, telling her to take her tits out
  5. It's true that this movie is very loosely based on history, but there really isn't enough information available to make a factual movie based in 13th and 14th century Scotland. In spite of all the false information in the movie I found it to still be a very genuine portrayal of Scottish culture. The plot was invented and worked around certain undisputed truths about the history of that time period. Scotland was occupied by the English who did rape, pilliage and murder Scots for generations. And a rebellion was lead by William Wallace at Stirling, Falkirk and Bannockburn which resulted in Scotland's freedom and and his execution. Most of the rest of the movie was Hollywoodized to make the movie interesting. Isabella didn't have a scandalous affair with Wallace. Bruce's role was misportayed. Who cares? The movie still works. The attire, living conditions and battle is all true to the time period. The courage, pride and ingenuity of the Scots seems to be more exaggerated than anyting else but it's probably the most true aspect of the movie. So when people bash this movie for being false, that's not really what pisses them off. People don't dislike the movie because Wallace slept with Isabella and there for "misinformed" the public. Who's going to take it seriously when someone bases their entire knowledge of Scottish history on Braveheart? It's one of the best movies of all time, so why would someone hate it? People dislike the movie because they're either insecure or jealous of the Scots,as they should be. The movie insults the bloodline. Absolutely. It's meant to be a show of Scottish pride at the expense of the English. Also, the reason why you probably hate Gibsons accent in the movie is because it's a REAL Scottish accent, unlike the nonsense you hear on every commercial or T.V. show.
  6. cornell has an awsome, unique voice. even though he's one of the grandfathers of grunge, I wouldn't pick him as my favorite grunge singer. there's too much of a squeally hair- band influence in his singing. cobain and vedder were true, complete grunge singers. they sang in minors but my personal favorite is still daniel johns', despite coming in late in the game and essentially ripping off cobain's style. frogstomp is one of the best grunge albums in existence
  7. his career broke out 10 years ago... Matt's too much of an individual to not write what he wants to write. Don't kid yourself. Matt wanted to be the janitor in Apparitions. he wanted to wave to the camera in radioshack. That's what he wanted at the time. And when he got sick of it, Audio of Being was released... Like any good piece of art,something has to compliment the piece. Matt is the master composer, there's no disputing that. but Genn complimented matt's music perfectly. there was a dynamic which was obviously missing when Avalanche was released. The album had brilliant material but it was lacking something to compliment it. As perfect as the song is, I believe Avalanche could have been better. Weapon could have been better. the filler songs could have been...not filler songs. Infact, I'd say that Matt is the least "open" in WLRRR. it's so raw and different from his other work that it jsut sounds contrived. It sounded like he was bored with the style he'd been writing in, which he was. All of a sudden he's neil young, and this is negates the genuineness of all his previous work? I don't think so. Matt does whatever he wants and he always will. The quality of his work has never changed, just the people and circumstances around it
  8. true, althoguh their most popular albums seem to coincide with his depression.
  9. holy vibrato batman singin is too intense for me
  10. omissions was matt's fav, mine too
  11. I guess not. most of the time you don't know if a show will suck until you watch it, so
  12. nobody really liked The Dissociatives. he's too happy to write good songs these days.Atleast that's the theory. He's happily married and he's dealing with his anorexia.
  13. top 5 original nintendo games: 1.balloon fighters 2.joust 3.penguin adventures 4.ice climbers 5.duck hunt contra just missed the list.
  14. I've heard about 5 bootlegged songs from the new album. It's definitely not like diorama, but it's also not like their old stuff. The singing sounded a little wacky like his side group, the Dissociatives. And the music is back to rock, but, it sounds like like a "the" band and the grunge influence seems more or less gone. Who knows what can happen between now and the final recording and mix.
  15. yeah I want to see that one, even though keanu is a terrible actor
  16. talk about whatever you want. the Wreckers' album is sexier, atleast the cover
  17. can't they bring back nicholson and keaton ? Make it, Batman the senior years Heath looks alright, but c'mon. Nicholson didn't even need makeup to look creepy.
  18. I forgot, Hayden live at Convocation Hall.
  19. I can live without rap, but not without rock, so, country it is
  20. hendrix's live at woodstock nirvana's unplugged in NY. silverchair's sex, drugs and image also, their concert from Melbourne in 99, which I only have on my computer but it's my favorite.
  21. I don't think they'll ever top the live action movies. The animation in this looks even worse than in the new cartoon. There's something disoncerting about their heads; I think it's becuase their eyes are so far apart.Also, their bodies are pretty lame looking. super skinny. But Corey Feldman is back! here's the trailer, for those who haven't yet seen it.
  22. welcome to canada.
  23. the show started to suck after Conan stopped writing.
  24. Anton, you better have macked those chicks
  25. senior...your jacket...she burns! I would rather die than have people not know which stores I have been to!
