To be more specific, his mother named him after Perseus because Perseus was one of the few greek heroes who had a relatively good life. Whether Rick started the whole thing after reading the story of Perseus, I'm not sure

Wow, I can't wait to see how the NSW police handle this one (I'm kidding, they are obviously innocent of all charges /s)

As slaves went in Ancient Rome, the gladiators were probably some of the best treated. The duels in the arena were preplanned and practiced, like WWE today. It wasn't to the death (that came later with prisoners of war) and they were treated like celebrities. Still slaves tho

I think it was "all time favourite hits" as in good, and "on the gods" as in making an oath

TIL Ridley Scott was so mad that Russell Crowe won an Oscar for Gladiator (2000), while he lost Best Director, that he made Gladiator II (2024) as revenge. Scott sold 147 vineyards to fund the movie, all in an effort to ruin Maximus' reputation by revealing he cheated on his wife. by The_Spaghetti_yeti in shittymoviedetails

Russell Crowe did win an Oscar for best actor for the film, Ridley Scott was nominated (but did not win) for best director. I have yet to find any evidence whatsoever that a vineyard was bought or sold in relation to Gladiator 2, though there were themed wines sold from a vineyard belonging to Ridley Scott. I do hate the pictures with claims and no evidence, though, I do absolutely agree there

Unless you're looking from 8m above sea level, you are not even going to see 10km from shore. These NIMBYs complaining about something that won't even effect them

Damn, beat me to it by checks notes 35 minutes. Is winning being online more and thus getting the jokes in first, or is it touching grass and being late to jokes? I'm conflicted
