So, using mammoths to build the pyramids gauls them (get it, gauls?) yet they are OK with the people speaking the English 10,000 years ago?
How about all those movies about them there foreign cultures, yet they all speak freaking English?
If they want historical accuracy, then they should hit the roof any time Nazis speak English when they are alone in a scene, or wonder how Mozart managed to speak fluent English in his daily life in Austria.
We should be "reading" along the bottom of the screen for most of the movies we see, if we demand "accuracy."
Anyway, how about "Knight's Tale," the one with Heath Ledger where they play rock tunes during jousting matches?
Yeah, that's a good one.
