Also, having been forgotten in the earlier post

Can I talk any of you local people into going to see Kingdom of Heaven with me? I mean, are there any of you whose fetish for reconstructionism is minor enough to allow you to see and possibly even enjoy this film? Cause I dig epics, and I dig Templars, and I understand that nothing about the Crusades is true anyway, and I'd like to go. But I'm pretty sure that my other two thirds are gonna want to take a miss on this one.

If you like Templars, you may not be crazy about how they are portrayed. I believe David Thewliss plays the only symapthetic one that we see.

I'm not really invested in any idea that the Templars were good guys, any more than any other faction in the whole mess. They're the most interesting, but mostly because they've generated the most bizarre speculation. If they'd been nice guys, they wouldn't have amassed enough treasure to shame the King, you know?

But I do like David Thewliss, and had managed to forget that he was in this. Good times.
