    Lol everyone should learn history of Mel Gibson. Braveheart, The Patriot and Apocalypto are all listed in the top ten most historically inaccurate movies ever made.

  2. DNAngel2009 says:

    Thanks for clarifying that. I didn’t know that.

  3. DNAngel2009 says:

    Ah, I didn’t realize that. I found this video a few months after it came out.

  4. LogaFilms says:

    If you had taken two seconds to Google when Inglorious Basterds came out and then look at the release date of this video, you would realize how stupid your comment was.

  5. squamish4244 says:

    Homega Man!

    And Inglorious Basterds hadn’t come out yet when this video was made.

    Why the fuck do On The Beach and Omega Man have such low scores?

  7. SmokeDimi says:

    It was something about your remark about my bad spelling so I said that I accept your arguments and that “Basterds” should be included too. And I also agreed that Brett should make a crack about people learning poor spelling of a language that’s not their native.

  8. DNAngel2009 says:

    Apologies, but I have no idea what that means (besides the final sentence.)

  9. SmokeDimi says:

    From: Slažem se. Prihvatam tvoj argument i mislim da je zaista u klip trebao uvrstiti taj film takođe. I da, Brett bi zaista trebao napraviti nešto io ljudima koji ne znaju pravopis drugog jezika koji nije njihov maternji jezik. Good night and good luck.

  10. DNAngel2009 says:

    I understand that, but seeing as how Basterds just came out and fit the basic theme of the clip (learning the wrong history from film), the reference still could have worked. And Brett could have made a crack about people learning poor spelling too…

  11. SmokeDimi says:

    No, I mean you missed the point. Basterds is a great movie and I love it (more than both Escapes or Terminator) but it doesn’t tell the story about the future. It was made in 2009 (or 2008) and it tells the story about what happened in 1944. All these movies Brett showed us tell the story about the future from the point when they are filmed but that “future” is already a past for us. On the beach (1959) about the future in 1964, The Omega man (1971) about the future in 1975 etc.

  12. DNAngel2009 says:

    You can say your answer, I’ll stick to mine.

  13. SmokeDimi says:

    You missed the point. You should have said “No Escape from New York” because it portrays the future that is now past for us (filmed in 1981 about NY in 1997). Then there is a Terminator (filmed 1984 and Terminator 2 in 1991) where Skynet launches nukes in 1997. But the film is about time traveling and the future can be changed so we can’t actually consider this movie.

    Greatest history lesson from film: England would still rule the world if they would just leave Mel Gibson’s family alone.

  15. marokanetc says:

  16. DNAngel2009 says:

    No Inglourious basterds ?

  20. euginam91 says:

    match point wasn’t an ok movie… it was an amazing movie, one of allen’s best… the rest I agree is crap

  21. TheAtticus19 says:

    I sure hope he’ll learn his lesson; Annie Hall is my favorite movie, and I will not stand idly by while wastes his talent on these piles of ralph.

  22. Kimmikins123 says:

    Right….

  23. Kmoney123456 says:

    hahaha

  24. grausammesser says:

    i liked curse of the jade scorpion …

  25. TheLittleDevil says:

    I love watching these people on a shitty/unfunny show telling a director what he should do with his life.

  26. Unenthusiasticly says:

    I share a birthday with Woody Allen.

  27. ruagamer says:

    OMG if anyone needs an intervention its Woody Allen… I am still seeking revenge for the pain he caused me with Anything Else.
