Not true, your royal "purple-ness"! grins. I AM THE hugest Gladiator fan on the planet. LOL!
Seriously, glad to find myself in such fine, fine company.
-snip-
I'm with you, Mr. Barney, in recommending this BD to all Gladiator fans especially. While it might not qualify as "reference material," I'm just so da*n glad to finally have it in BD and have it load and play in my 1400 w/o a new firmware update that I cannot complain at all about the possibility of a couple arrows missing that I didn't notice were missing anyway. And suffice to say, I have watched Gladiator about a zillion times since 2000.
So I know each frame by heart. grins.
Since there's "no such thing as reality, only perception," each person is gonna' view it through their own prism. Thus the yelling and disappointment from some.
Loved reading your review and all the triva. I'd forgotten about most of those great tid-bits. For all I know re: Gladiator, I did NOT know that J-Lo was almost Commodus' sister. AACCKK! So glad that didn't happen. Connie Nielson IS Lucilla, IMO.
I'm with you, Barney, in recommending this to people. I was unsure at first after reading some of the less than stellar reviews re: PQ. But the deal at BB simply was too good to resist. So glad I got it. People that are not happy with the Gladiator BD are seeing something differently than how I'm seeing it, I guess.
And coupled with Braveheart?? A fabulous epic BD double-feature. Can't beat it.

It is nice to hear you are still alive and kicking, laddieluv, and your 1400 too.
I am also glad to hear that you have avoided some of the traps reviewers like us have step into when watching Gladiator. You did not look for something that may or may not be there. Enough to the point it may have distracted you and taken some of the enjoyment of watching this classic...Also how did you like the the Stevie Nick's Concert BD (If you're young enough to remember
)? This BD has a high replay value at the Barney's household this whole weekend... longggg!!! 
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for...
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore...
. I want to get THE POSTMAN BD. LOL!! (I do have trouble with the donkey part at the beginning, but I'll skip through it. 
from overseas and you ended giving your life's savings to some royal family members who just happened to be banished from the government or some other BS sad ars story...
