That sounds unlikely - how would his sperms keep track?  He had two with her sister, although they left that out of the movie...

Historians disagree on whether any of Mary Carey's children were really fathered by Henry.

The article mentioned something about a change occurring in the woman's immune system, that went active when she got pregnant. Basically her immune system saw the baby as something that was attacking her, and took steps to kill it.

I'll try to find the article again; it was several years ago that I read it.

Granted -- Henry Carey's parentage is a question that probably can't be proved one way or another now... and granted -- portraits of the time were stylized... but don't two of these men look more related to each other than the other?

I recognize Henry VIII. Who are the others?

[JarlWolf]

The third one is Richard the III, I can tell you right off the bat. Forget who the middle one is though. Richard the 3rd, or sometimes known as Richard the crooked (he had a spinal injury that hobbled his stature, required him to have a cane too.) was considered by many, including Shakespeare, to be morally/politically corrupt as well. Either way he ruled during a pretty chaotic, turbulent time, England was in a lot of civil warfare at that point if I recall.

Just watched Oblivion

Not as terrible as I'd heard, but it was quite predictable.

Oh, yes.  I thought Mystery Science Theater was an attempt at a documentary biopic of my life.

When I see a truly awful movie, I immediately think,  " I must watch this with Buncle! We can have it ripped up and sewn back together four different ways before the credits roll!"

I remember being really excited about showing "The Day After Tomorrow" to him.  "The science errors alone will make him spit blood!" I thought. 

Well, for the fellow fans of movies so horrendously bad they are good, I present quite possibly the worst Halloween special ever made.  Bonus:  Tim Curry.

I mean, it's no surprise they screwed up the Evil Dead remake....

DAMN.  It's impressive how completely they ripped it's soul out.

Is anybody intending to see 47 Ronin's Excellent Adventure?

[Unorthodox]

That's straight to dvd, right?

Hey! Wouldn't it be cool if they made samurai movie in which Tom the cocky short guy cruise and Keanau the stoner Reeves cut each other's heads off? Or maybe they could commit ritual suicide after being forced to watch their own films.

I can dream.

I recently rewatched Demolition Man.  It was a joy-joy experience. 

[Buster's Uncle]

The Stallone movie?  Dumb fun - I liked it, too.

[Unorthodox]

Everyone knows it takes a real white dude to become the best samurai, indian, or blue alien to save the respective culture.   

[Lord Avalon]

The Stallone movie?

Yep.  And Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock.

Is that the ratburger one?

"Este carne es de rata."


"Rat? This is a rat burger? [She nods.] Not bad!  Matter of fact this is the best burger I've had in years!"
