- True. He even threatens to hit her. This, to me, was not terribly romantic.
- Although, I suppose one could argue that he was angry with her for not
- believing that true love could even transcend death. Anyway, I thought that
- he was awfully pompous. However, it's still a pretty good movie and there are
- some very funny and touching parts.

- I just saw "1492" this weekend and it's got all these Spaniards in it and
- I just kept thinking throughout the entire film, "My name is Indigo Montoya.
- You killed my father. Prepare to die."
