If you watch the last scene of the film, check out the flags that the ship is bearing. I'm pretty sure it was an English flag as opposed to anything with Spanish connotations. Very small point but just annoyed me at the time.

Yeah that was pretty much the suspicion mate. That they had him fake an injury, clean up and ditched the riods. Saying that, he's always had trouble with the knees, so hopefully it's just rubbish. He was a top athlete in his prime, used to love watching the matches he played against Fed.

good one red sky. What do you think the tribes spoke before the spanish turned up? Which is what I was referring to and the ed had to correct you on. Many of these languages are still spoken in rural areas.

fighting doesn't necessarily mean boots on the ground. Look at all the american drone strikes in pakistan and yemen. Also the british have airlifted the french to mali. So its indirect fighting.

Haha, 'meso American' language?

You are aware that from Mexico all the way down to Argentina and Uruguay (minus Brazil alone, which speaks Portuguese), Spanish is the first language?

Meso American. Haha. "One of those bloody rubbish foreign films with subtitles - turn this bleeding rubbish off"

RED_SKY {Ed001's Note - it is in a pretty much defunct language, Yucatec Maya, with subtitles. Spanish is a recent introduction to the Americas, many of the tribes have no knowledge of it whatsoever. Anyway, the point is that meso-American is a pretty good description of it, being as how it is a Central American language, which Spanish is not, no matter how many of them talk it there now.}

Actors used no go fr me

Come on it looks like any crap made for TV with guff filler and mis-information. Disney, like all other big companies love money more than politics or truth

We are 'fighting' them in afghanistan not sure about yemen, we killed saddam in iraq, pakistan run their own mess, the french are fighting rebels in mali and the egyptians 'elected' the muslim brotherhood. the taliban are from the tribal areas near the pakistan afghanistan border.

Yes its in some meso american language.

Think I seen Apocolypto, its in subtitles I think or most of it is, pretty grusome move if its the same one.

Maybe he wasn't injured, maybe they caught him and instead of the big scandal they banned him on the quiet and said it was an injury and gave him time to clean up? Lets face it if it had came out that the all conquering best player in the world had had some technical help it would have killed tennis.

I've long suspected the Willams' as well.

Its called Primae Noctis, First Night in latin.

I've never seen Apocolypto, the weird trailer put me off, and when the kid who looked like Ronaldinho popped up. half the cinema I was at burst out laughing.

Gibson does have previous though, like the Patriot.

I'm thinking specifically about the rule, the name escapes me, but basically any Scottish woman whom is to be wed to another Scot had to spend a night 'of romance' with an English lord beforehand. There was a scene of this in the film and it's supposed to be a load of rubbish.

I do agree with what you say, and I'm sure we can't take history as gospel but at the same time, I think Mel Gibson is a bit. . rubbish (for lack of a better word). I like the fact that at the end of Apocalypto, the arriving missionaries are sailing under a ship with the saint George's cross. Which to me, seemed like he was blaming us for what happened in South America.

{Ed033's Note - Mel Gibson's father is an alleged expert on the "new world order" so Mel must be aware of certain things. Also exactly how much of the script is outside the control of Mel Gibson films (the films he had a big input in the script)

Yeh I know Adam its a Hollywood trait but the morals of the movie remains true, the monarchy allowed unjust taxing the poorest, raping many women and murder, not just scotland all over the British isle .

Supasub, this doc worked with Nadal and it was rumoured that he was giving him steriods. Nadal came under suspicion, got injured and came back a hell of a lot skinnier.

Personally I hope it is just rumours because he's one of my favourite athletes.

Adam

Was it ever broadcasted?
