[off topic]

"Master And Commander" with Russel Crowe is considered one of the best, most accurate depictions of what life was like on a Napoleonic Era sailing ship. It's a great movie.

A ton of work and attention went into that film to keep it historically accurate, even down to assigning all the extras to watches and figuring out what the watch rotation would be and who would be on duty at any given time.

That is so cool!

And it makes it hurt even more that we didn't get a couple dozen of these movies.

Hollywood loves to make extra films. The fact that I can't have a full set of Master and Commander films makes me worry I'm on one of the dark timelines.

"Rum, sodomy, and the lash..."

Or, as we call it, Hollywood!
