Movie Lessons 101: How to make a cult classic...

1) make a bad movie, bad as in not very grossing but catchy to those who hate to follow mainstream
2)market everything from said movie and put it on a T-shirt that sells in a store that appeals to those who don't follow mainstream
3) once the shirts make back money lost in production of movie, relase on DVD with special features to make more money from the now cult that follows the mainstream they have created

Gordon Lightfoot lyric question?

Hm... I don't know if this is true or not, but the only information I could find draws a line from that line in Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" to (of all things) an old Abbott and Costello movie from 1946 called THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES:

______________________________________...

The Time Of Their Lives (1946) Universal, Produced by Val Burton, Directed by Charles Barton, Scenario by Val Burton, Walter DeLeon, Bradford Ropes, and John Grant, Music by Milton Rosen.

With Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, Marjorie Reynolds, Binnie Barnes, John Shelton, Gale Sondergaard, Lynn Baggett, Jess Barker, Donald MacBride, William Hall, Robert H. Barret, Rex Lease.

Do you remember a Gordon Lightfoot lyric “...just like an old-time movie, ‘bout a ghost from a wishing well” and have you wondered what movie it was referring to?

Here it is, a most unusual and imaginative comedy for Abbott and Costello. Lou and Reynolds are killed as traitors during Revolutionary times, and their ghosts haunt a country estate where Bud and friends come to live.

Apparently Lou (who plays a tinker) is considered a traitor and is sentenced to live in a well until he as a ghost can prove his innocence. He haunts Bud, who plays a great great grandson of the man who betrayed Lou. Lou's haunts until Bud until Bud finally helps him clear his name.

Why did christians kill Templar's?

The King of Jerusalem had a treaty with Saladin that they would not attack each others caravans and travellers. Some of the Templars attacked a Caravan and wiped out the Muslims.
The King of Jerusalem hanged them to keep the peace wit Saladin.

Eventually the treaty fell through and Saladin took Jerusalem. The hero in the movie took over the defence of the city and because he had been honorable to Saladin he negotiated a peace where the Christians could evacuate Jerusalem and be given safe passage to the sea..

There were many inconsistencies with the history of the fall of Jerusalem but all in all it was an excellent movie if you overlook the Hollywoodization of the facts.
