During the later part of the film Lucius says something along the lines of “A SWORD WHETHER STEEL OR WOOD STILL HAS A POINT.”

I wish the film had more of one.

24 years have passed since Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR was a box office and critical hit. A child in the first film, Lucius, is all grown up now and Ridley Scott is back to tell his story. We've got a review of GLADIATOR II. Listen here: https://t.co/s73faRpudQ @NCFilmCritics

When your father asks you if you’ll go see Megalopolis with him the proper response is what time works best for you?

@LarsenOnFilm I recommend The Remantlists 2024 release Not Arthur - a riff of sorts on the classic album Arthur by The Kinks. (Keeps the song titles but creates a new story). If 2021 is recent enough the soundtrack for the Ride the Cyclone musical (as well as the musical itself) is awesome.
