Wild, absolutely wild, General. I'll take this as an endorsement and see the flick. William Safire ain't got nothin' on you. Your students are indeed fortunate,sir. Thank you for posting this, Col. Lang.
I learned everything I need to know about that movie when I read that a major plot point hinges on the Mayan priesthood being caught unaware by a solar eclipse. And they have the gall to call it authentic because of the language!
Saw the film last night, but my comments would pale in comparison to those of Stream-of-Consciousness Farrell.
Suffice it to say that my girlfriend and I stumbled through a post-film debate, the main theme of which seemed to be "What was the effin' point?"

A great film, nonetheless.
