Me too…let’s just hope it doesn’t depict something like medieval amphibious landing craft and hidden scraps of Magna Carta in a Saxon tomb!

It could only be Salma Hayek or Eva Green.  :P

Hayek or Greem…man, it would be hard to say which would be best.  tag team? 

I expect that the man who did “The Duelists” is going to treat the subject well.

Surely only Mila Kunis can play this part
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Did you really have to remind us of its existence?

Was it because you couldn't think of another film?

I actually paid top dollar to see this piece of, whatever. Fortunately, I was watching it in a boutique cinema and after an hour, in dire need of brain bleach, I was able to pop out to the foyer and buy a bottle of red and a straw: Unfortunately, a brain stain remains.

I just hope Spielberg's effort is going to be better - it would be hard not to be.

Watching it on a plane destroyed the few good things it offered in terms of photography, costumes and sets.  I found it was worth the 2£ I spent on it at a matinee—-in which a  free cup of tea and biscuits was included for the price of admission.  lol
