[11th Earl of Mar]

I saw Sparticus but was disappointed at how poorly it was edited.

We were left wondering at different times what happened. Sparticus was trapped by the sea... He did not know what to do... His adversary was ready to crush him...

And then you find out in an undramatic way five minutes later that Sparticus escaped over the commercial break, but the movie never showed it.

Yeah, but since it was made for television - not a bad effort.

I thought it was sort of an attempt to combine Braveheart and Gladiator. The Roman senator took the role of Longshanks, Sparticus took the role of William Wallace and The Spaniard.

All we needed was Mel Gibson in a supercharged Mustang.

Still, I thought it wasn't too bad.

We recently got DVR service, which I guess is our cable co's version of TIVO. Commercials are now a thing of the past! This thing is amazing! You just record everything, watch it whenever you want and skip over the commercials! There are no tapes, one touch recording of anything...it's amazing. You can even pause and rewind live tv. We love it! (I bet you're wondering when I have the chance to watch TV, when I'm always on FreeRepublic). What a life!
