1776 has some really good pictures in it, and I was browsing through them when I came across something a little odd.
A soldier named John Trumbull did some studies on the image of General Hugh Mercer being bayoneted to death in the fury of the Battle of Princeton (one of which is pictured below) - pretty disturbing. I'm not sure that it's my kind of art, but I did think it was just so weird that I'd share it.
Oh, and they are making another "Mummy" movie (preview picture below) with the same cast as "The Mummy Returns". I'm so excited! It comes out sometime next year, but that'll make four! There good, but obviously not historically accurate. They never are, but they are meant for entertainment and not education, right? =)
This time its setting is China, so I don't know if I'll like it as well, because the Far East hasn't ever really interested me. Maybe it'll kick off a new interest, though, I don't know...
Duh, I didn't even tell you what it's called (silly me) - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
I think that poster is really clever (if you didn't get it, the signature "M" is turned into a "3"). =)

umm call me stupid but why is the three significant..? haha
ohh survivor's in china! haha crazyy.
OMG national treasure twooo comes out 12/21! im so incredibly pumped.. and i really like the date they chose.
I wouldn't call you stupid, but it's the third movie. The Scorpion King is just kind of a prologue to the Mummy and the Mummy Returns (and now the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor), so most people don't count it as being in the series, but I do! =)
So anyway, it's the third mummy movie (by most people's count), so they took the "M" and made it a "3" because it's the third in the series. Click?
I know, that was a terrible explanation, sorry. =( I need to stick to history... ha, ha...
haha no i get it.. that's what i thought but then you said it was the fourth in your post so i was like what..? haha
Ya, I reread that, and I sounded like an idiot there, sorry!!
