Nick Hodges (AKA History Buffs) delivers yet another great movie review.

I'm a huge fan of his channel and highly recommend it.
For Grogs, Geeks and history buffs it's definitely worth a visit.
   

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

That reminds me to check out his review of Zulu since I just saw that (and Zulu Dawn) for the first time a couple of weeks ago.  :smitten:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Crowe is still hoping for a sequel and so am I! I just watched the movie again tonight.

"On his Twitter account, Master and Commander star Russell Crowe teased a possible Master and Commander sequel, and urged fans to voice their desire for further films to 20th Century Fox."

Master and Commander' Sequel Still A Possibility, Says Russell Crowe
"I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it* and what *it* is seems weird and scary to me." - Abraham Simpson

It would be interesting to see how a sequel would do.  I'm a big fan of the film (although I've not yet gotten around to reading the novels, ironically). 
"Like we need an excuse to drink to anything..." - Banzai_Cat
"I like to think of it not as an excuse but more like Pavlovian Response." - Sir Slash

"At our ages, they all look like jailbait." - mirth

"If we had lines here that would have crossed all of them. For the 1,077,986th time." - Gusington

"Government is so expensive that it should at least be entertaining." - airboy

"As long as there's bacon, everything will be all right." - Toonces

Very good and...subscribed. Thanks for the recommendation  O0

I do wish people (reviewers) wouldn't include views of the film being made - it really takes the magic out of a movie for me

I read all the books.  Perhaps the finest books I've ever read.

I have all 20 books, plus the unfinished 21st book. They have all been read multiple times. Absolutely fantastic series.

Recombobulate the discombobulators!

Haven't read the books (yet and changing that soon) but thought the movie was brilliant.
Insert witty comment here.
