Dunno if you should see "Gladiator"; the best part was the opening battle. Just wondering how many Roman emperors tried to preserve their blood line by incest.

I meant Andy Kaufman the comedian, whose wrestling matches with Jerry Lawler pushed the limits of "comedy performance" and good taste. Andy died of cancer, not strangulation, but his career was strangled metaphorically by his obsession with wrestling Jerry Lawler.
