Apparently not that great of a mind, at least on my part. Thanks.

AR or anyone else: Here's a question. I happened to channel surf into what may have been "Capitol Gang" the other day and caught the tale-end of a comment. I THINK one of the talking heads was saying that "Gangs of NY" sucks bec it did not acurately portray the riot scene as being caused by the Irish rebelling against being drafted. Seems that they didn't want anything to do with giving their lives to free slaves. Of course, Scorcesi(sp?) didn't want to put that in there bec that wouldn't be PC.

Is that true? I mean about Scorcesi and the moving being historically inacurate because of the PC stuff. I know that the riot caused by reluctant Irish not wanting to free slaves is true.

What a great find:

...While recommending .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. for Best Picture Oscar...

...MICHAEL MEDVED was blasting .."GANGS OF NEW YORK".. for its misrepresentations of the Irish-American Riots and for showing the Twin Towers at the end directly implying that America succeeded because of Gang Warfare throughout our history.

...I applaud Director SCORCESI for restoring a Movie for our Times, 1961's .."EL CID".. starrring CHARLETON HESTON and SOPHIA LOREN, which was about the Muslims trying to take over Christian Europe 1,000 years ago by first invading a baby Spain. By bringing factious villages together to fight the invaders, and giving us the nation-state of Spain in the process, EL CID saved Western Civilization for a 1,000 years.

...Now it's our turn.
