Rumba Rue Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 gee... I wonder if they are going to make the guy drink his own urine?
William Brand Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 When I think 'period piece' I think 'make it modern, mixed with contemporary ideology'. Wait a minute...no I don't.
JoshuaRed Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 That's just disgusting, insipid, moronic and repugnant. Foolish. Did I say stupid? Utterly flaccid. Insulting. Mind-numbing. Those meatheads need their empty gourds rattled against a cannon but good. Revolting. Disturbing. Pathetic. @#$@#%^$#^$^ NETWORK TV IS complete BULL@#$%#$.
Capt. Sterling Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 MacGyver?? Politically Correct?? Rubbish??? what else could it be?? But boy would I like them to prove me wrong... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Sjöröveren Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 If this adaptation is as good as recent versions of Moby Dick or Gulliver's Travels, I think I'll be busy doing something else those 13 nights. the Fool's Gold Pirates
Matty Bottles Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Well, I don't know. If the handmade tools are things that could actually work, and if the contemporary race relations winds up being a realistic portrayal of a 17th century man struggling with his notions of superiority because he relies so much on Friday, it could be quite interesting, I think. I wonder if how those Europeans who 'went native' regarded both their original culture and their adopted culture. This could really be an compelling series. But that is highly unlikely. I must say that on whole, I agree with most of you, and this this will probably be crap. But on the other hand, I don't agree with this guy from the frontierfolk board: 'Don't you detest spin-doctoring, revisionist versions of the past pandering to feminisim & negroe sensibilities? I think the worst was "Guns, germs & steel" hatched in the hot-tubs of Sonoma to "make the medicine go down" for the current, crank-sided view of things.' YIKES! "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum
