Yeah, but not too many people would see the movie if they spoke Latin. Operor vos teneo quis ego vilis?

Yea, e pluribus unum, and shit.

idk my bff jill?[/quote]

O-M-G!, R-U-S!?

I’m in the military, and it seems to be the “kewl” thing to give every unit some cheesy, cliche Latin empowerment quote. A new unit formed, and I chipped this in:

Aio, quantitas magna fromentorum est!

My, that’s a lot of corn!

I told the Commander it roughly translated to “Onward to victory!”

It stuck. :wink:

That’s not a compliment.

I was looking for the quote of when the black guy eats the maggots out of Russel Crow, but I couldn’t find it.

Whoah! Uh,… maybe I ‘read’ the scene wrong, but I thought he was PUTTING the maggots there to clean Maximus’s injuries?

Before we all go azy-cray with the atin-lay, “operor vos teneo quis ego vilis” is “Do you know what I mean?”

Verus ut, frater!
(True that, brother!)

Those were MAGGOTS?

I thought that was just old school roman tooth paste (he took it out of his mouth after all).

  1. You’re not Russell Crowe
  2. You’ll never fight in the Colisseum
  3. You’re not the saviors of masculinity just because you say so.
  4. Romans didn’t speak with an English accent (come on, seriously)
  5. Most people who quote it would piss their pants at the thought of a Roman short sword through the kidneys.

It’s time to move on, kids. What are you all going to quote next, Ellen Degeneres?[/quote]

And all this time I thought he was from New Zealand and had a New Zealand accent.

Wasn’t he chewing a poultice in his mouth and packing the wound with it?

That is awesome.

I really haven’t heard any Gladiator quotes, ever. Maybe I’m just not surrounded by douche bags. Well, yes I am, but I guess they are uncultured douche bags.

AM I NOT MERCIFUL !!!

Why get your panties in a bunch? Besides, what is the big deal in getting motivation and inspiration from movies? Nathan Hale quoted from the play “Cato” right before the Brits hanged him during the revolution when he said, " I regret I have but one life to give for my country." I say let a hundred douchebags quote the damn movie if one man finds strength in the words.

Because only lesser men need inspiration.

The rest inspire others.

So what you’re telling me is that Washington and Hale are lesser men?

I think he’s saying they inspired others by quoting, as opposed to using the quotes to motivate themselves.

BEST FUCKING MOVIE EVER!!! Braveheart is Legendary!
