I love CAST AWAY, but watching the last 10 minutes of GLADIATOR, I can understand why it won Best Picture. #FThisMovieFest

I want to give props to Djimon Hounsou. The guy has always been a solid character actor and a reliable hand as a supporting presence. #FThisMovieFest

We need more Oliver Reed! #FThisMovieFest

Also, he disappears the majority of the movie after the first act. I know the movie has too many characters to keep track with but it definitely felt like a "scenes deleted" situation of a character arc.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

My only real nit pick with GLADIATOR is the character of Quintus. I feel that his betrayal deserved some comeuppance, yet he gets a redemption of sorts in the end. Maybe it's just that the "just following orders" excuse feels especially shitty in 2026 #FThisMovieFest

It's weirdly refreshing to not see Sven-Ole Those die in a movie. #FThisMovieFest

Another situation where the woman is most qualified to lead and for some reason the whiny man baby has all the power. #FThisMovieFest

Wikipedia entry on how actor Oliver Reed died during the production of "Gladiator".

As much as I wish Oliver Reed was still with us, he did die in the most Oliver Reed way ever. #FThisMovieFest

Ah yes, have the ailing king have alone time with his power-hungry son. I'm sure nothing terrible will happen. #FThisMovieFest

I remember the movie trailer using the Kirsten Dunst topless shot prominently. I wonder why #FThisMovieFest

Arguably McG's biggest legacy may be lending his name to the show SUPERNATURAL to get it greenlit. I said "arguably" because he also gave Samara Weaving her first lead role in a movie #FThisMovieFest
