I love this new film. Mel Gibson has really found a new Patriot theme epic. It should quite well at the box office.

It should be a great period piece. And a nice bump for British early history which often gets short shrift. Icon certainly has the money to do it right now. We've seen what Mel can do for 25 meg. Wonder what he could do with 50?

Meanwhile:

About 115 U.S. soldiers have been killed this month alone, compared with fewer than 100 in the three weeks it took to oust Saddam. In all, 523 have been killed since they invaded Iraq.

(the partisan media wouldn't allow a thread without this information)

If you notice Mel has been producing movies that get to the heart of Anglo-American culture. I think that these Patriot films, as some unknown FReeper called them, are a very shrewd reading of Americans, and their beliefs.
