~ EST: 1st July, 2000 ~

Welcome!  Well, if you want to know just how much I like this film, this proves it all.  Only one other thing has really compelled me to create a whole website dedicated to it because my feelings about it were so strong and that is the amazing science-fiction series, "Babylon 5".  I started my site, "Severed Dreams" several years ago.  It began shakily, based on my pretty basic knowledge of HTML and the help of Microsoft FrontPage, but through experience on and around the Web, it improved, and after months of dumbfoundedness, I finally figured out how to get it online.  I wish I could tell you that I still regularly update it, but alas...I can't :) Anyway, it's still exists, however antiquated it may be, and you can find it at: http://b5maniac.cjb.net.  I'll try and drag this paragraph out of the depths of self-promotion now *G*, but I think it deserved a mention because a lot of the pages on this site have been inspired by my first creation. 

"Gladiator" to me has not just been another film, it has been a fascinating experience, and I wish to thank everyone, cast, crew, directors, producers, extras, composers, and everyone else behind the making of the film for bringing to life an awe-inspiring, emotionally charged masterpiece.

Amen.

LOL

The girl. Who became a fan. Who became obsessed. Who took over the world with her Gladiator fanaticism...July 2000 A.D. A WEBSITE WILL RISE.

23/06/01 - Phew!  Finally my exams are OVER!  Well, for this academic year anyway. :(  But only two weeks left now before I break up for summer!  Kinda sad though because three teachers are leaving.  Therefore I take this day to honour them, so here's to ya, Mrs Carrier, Dr. Wheeler and Mr Barnett!  *Alaka raises her imaginary yet very nice-looking sword*  Oh yes, and I've added two awards, so thank you for those.
