It was published as a slam at conservatives, but that old 'fist-bump' cover of The New Yorker will prove to be prophetic, and it'll become an icon of American history.

Unless Mooch edits our history.

You can also see some strong anachronisms in the representations of Roman soldiers. Late-republican soldiers did not wear segmented plate-armor cuirasses or the reinforced Trajanic-era "Imperial Italic" helmets worn in the film. They wore knee-length chain-mail hauberks and bullet-shaped "Montefortino" helmets adorned with three feathers.

The historical anachronism was Kubrick's fault, not the screenwriters'. At least Olivier didn't wear his Rolex in the bath scene.

Shame on you, Heisenberg.

That scumbag Trumbo was 100 times worse than Walter White.

Yes it is just a bad hairpiece and mustache for a multi million dollar movie.
