Vikings? In Vietnam? Really?
Nov. 26th, 2010 09:34 pmSo, we were talking about movies at work today and the following conversation happened:
Person 1: Has anyone seen Apocalypse Now?
Me and several others: Yes.
Person 1: I really enjoyed it.
Me and several others: Good movie blah blah blah damning condemnation of war blah blah blah fantastic cinematography blah blah blah gut wrenching blah blah blah
Person 1: And the fights with the Vikings were great!
Me and several others: O_o o_O O_O
Me: Er, there aren't any Vikings in Apocalypse Now...
Person 1: There aren't?
Me: Apocalypse Now is set during the Vietnam war.
Person 1: So, no Vikings?
Me: No. No Vikings...
Person 1: So, Apocalypse Now isn't the Mel Gibson one?
Other Person: You're thinking of Apocalypto.
Person 1: Oh! I wondered why you all looked so confused...
Of course, I then had to relate story to a friend over lunch, with this as the outcome:
Me: *relates story*
Him: Hold on. Apocalypto's the Mayan one, isn't it.
Me: I think so. (I've never actually seen it.)
Him: So, there's no Vikings in that one, either.
Me: Nope. We just didn't have the heart to tell her.
I'm still not sure what movie she was thinking of but, whatever it was, I'm sure the Vikings were awesome ::grin::
