A massive war film, a completely forgotten French masterpiece. This film is so realistic parts of it are still used in documentaries depicting the living hell that was Verdun, even some famous war photographs are actually stills from this film. Lots of extras and actors in this were actual war veterans, and they even got Philippe Petain to portray himself.

“Finally the end of the trilogy! Gone are the halcyon days of evil dies tonight, instead we are inflicted with a continuation on the half-hearted rumin”

Utterly incompetent "ending" for a film series that mostly sucked anyway, but not this much. This is the worst one.

A collection of praise and defensive speeches from Ancient to Renaissance era, some are dry as a sand, others passionate and adventurous, the last one being an over the top parody of a speech. A great read.

Mariusz Pudzianowski has to be one of the most multi-talented men I have ever seen in my lifetime. He's one of the greatest strength athletes of all time, but he's also a great martial artist, a successful businessman and a gifted entertainer. This wholesome beast of a man just keeps on giving and I find his career and persona highly inspiring. I wish there were more good men like him in this world. If Tony Halme hadn't ruined himself with all the drugs and alcohol he could've been something like Mariusz.

Not just Robert, but also his two brothers Charles and Maxon. These people are utterly fascinating human beings, superbly smart and highly eccentric with incredible insight into their own psyche. Just listening to their thoughts on art and creativity expands my understanding of the subject matter more than most other artists ever could. Robert Crumb is also a great prolific comic book artist who made it big despite all the hardships in life.

Tom Platz is still remembered fondly for his great physique and especially the legendary quads that could still win some of the big shows anywhere and anytime. One thing casual fans don't necessarily know is that back in the day Tom Platz was a truly hardcore human being with some serious attitude and work ethics, the man was like Ronnie Coleman of the 1980's and it's a small miracle the man is still able to walk. I remember Arnold once writing in his book how he witnessed Tom doing his sick training routine and then hopping on his bike and going for a little marathon. The man was crazy, but awesome.

The title is somewhat misleading, because this is more about the practical side of history and archaeology more than, shall we say, fictitious portrayal of life in ancient times.

Nicolino Locche was quite a personality. As a boxer he wasn't a strong hitter and his punches were pretty basic stuff, he was also a chainsmoker who sucked the deathsticks even during the fights. Nicolino was one of the finest defensive boxers of all time, at his best he was nearly completely untouchable and he even won the world championship with his unique and highly entertaining style. The man really had physical comedy in his blood.
