Every year, Hollywood pumps out "historical" epics so distorted, propagandistic and self-serving, you have to wonder just how stupid they think we are. But, try "fixing" some of those historical inaccuracies and you'll quickly realize what Hollywood screenwriters have known for years: History is lame. Here are 11 movies that make us glad no one gives a damn about trivial things like "what actually happened."

How exactly is this funny? I find it atrocious that anyone would even conceive of looking to Hollywood to give them any kind of lesson, history or otherwise. Hollywood makes movies, i.e. entertainment, they'd sell their mother's porno if it got them a quick $5.00.

if everything was true, it would be a documentary.

hollywood movies are supposed to entertain.

^no, because not everything is true in documentaries. if everything was true, it'd be reality. the article's pretty funny, though, i'll at least give you that.

so what about grammatical accuracies? do they sucks too?
