[Regia-NA] About productions based on historical legends?

[Jeanne]

Ditto, look at the botch job done on Alexander!  We've gotten phone calls
from hubby's relatives in Athens chastising it!  A friend saw it and said he
was ticked off at paying $6 for a wasted 3 hour movie.  He would have
enjoyed a nap more, even a half naked Angelina Jolie didn't help.

That's bad.

But I enjoy some period pieces for entertainment value.  I use their
attempts at costuming for inspiration on my own.

well, off to watch Gunga Din!  I LOVE Cary Grant and Douglas Fairbanks Jr!!

In my opinion we must take entertainment in our genre where we can find it.
At least there are projects that represent some of the things we are
interested in. The objective of most of these is pure and simple. cash.  If
we bog down in details we appeal to fewer. I interrogated prisoners for a
living. The plain and simple truth is the process aint as sexy as TV shows
make it out to be.  They show things that appeal to the masses and int he
final cut the director is an artist.
