But none of that actually happened, tho.

Is the film billed as a history lesson or as historical fiction?

The difference is that I am willing to watch the film and see.

Well, other than the fact you've been opining on a film YOU HAVEN'T SEEN and insulting posters for doing the same along the way, sure, you're "correct" as usual.....

and there is the pivot.

Interesting.

Ive lived in the Jackson, MS metro area for 20 years and this is the first movie billboard I have ever seen. I've seen them in other larger cities, but never here. I noticed this movie being pushed late last week.

The second or third by my count. He picks the weirdest shite to argue over just for the sake of arguing.

This is what happens when you become old, bitter and have no real life.

This message board and his shtick are all he has.

The argument that “caucasians” built the pyramids annoys the crap out of me. It just REEKS of the condescending notion that only Europeans are capable of advancing civilization.

The funny thing is that most people would not be stupid enough to make the argument, if certain Blacks did not make the (equally ridiculous) argument that their own ancestors built them. Insecure people make the ridiculous “caucasian” argument solely to counter the ridiculous “Black” argument.

Basically, we end up with two groups of idiots arguing in favor of completely ahistorical notions, both from a deep-seated insecurity.

I will dispute that point any time that some idiot raises it.

What does that have to do with this film?

Nothing. You made claims that will almost certainly be proven false, even as you clucked your tongue at others for making claims. Theirs were based on easily observable patterns from Hollywood and quotes from the producer. Yours were based on who the hell knows other than one line from an embarrassing Roger Ebert "review" that you stretched well beyond the bounds of credulity and common sense. You're the only person who knows why you do these things, but it is, similar to Hollywood, an easily observable pattern.

It was a direct response to the following, preceding post:

Pyramids? Has no one ever told him the Egyptians were Caucasian?

The “predictable pattern” is someone like your boy “Shoals” saying something COMPLETELY contrary to the facts (and often racist), which I then refute. And you people ignore the initial false assertion and climb up MY arse for correcting it.
