Quote:</em></strong><hr>I just had a wonderful, very original idea. Lets try to make a motion picture about what really must have happened at Kalkriese based on the actual archaeological evidence and not German wishful thinking and hero worship. We can form a website to write a screenplay about the courageous, outnumbered band of intrepid Roman defenders of classical civilization that garrissioned the Kalkriese station and held the vast mob of naked, club wielding barbarians at bay. I can see the title now, big pseudo-runic letters spelling out CHERUSCI<hr><br>
<br>
Lemme guess: the historically accurate version according to Dan Peterson, will show Cherusci looking like the Flintstones, Arminius will be played by Ben Kingsley (since he is very good at playing creeps) sporting a monocle and mumbling "ve vill ausradieren deez Roman schweinhunde" and the Romans, grizzled but dignified veterans all, fighting heroically against overwhelming odds and treacherous, lying Epipalaeolithic Teutonic scum.<br>
<br>
Yeah, I'll buy the DVD as soon as it's in the sales bin for 5 euros... <p></p><i></i>
