The True Cost of Robin Hood

[ChipG]

Didn't they delay production because the lead showed up a bit ugh portly?

$1.8M in fringe benefits aka booze for Russell, he's really slowing down in his old age.

"this will not be as good as men in tights" of course not no Dave Chappelle.

 

[Sad Max]

... or should we be expecting a Russell Crowe sex tape to surface?

Expecting, or dreading. Take your pick.

With Ridley? They really seem to like each other.

 

[Sad Max]

Okay, now I'm scrubbing my mind's eye, with bleach...

 

[Jim Brennan]

Oh, like NOBODY else was thinking that :evil:

 

[David Jimerson]

I think nobody else was, Jim . . .

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Is anyone even going to see the movie? I know none of my friends (or myself for that matter) are saying "Dude, I'm so PSYCHED for Robin Hood! It's about time Hollywood does Robin Hood again!"

 

[ilauzirika]

I'm so fed up with medieval age films that I wouldn't even give it a chance on piracy (To answer chipgs post). So this is a pass on my wallet.

 

[Sad Max]

It's just...meh.

 

[David Jimerson]

And from the Wikipedia description, it makes the same historical mistakes as the Costner version, except that they're worse. I suppose he won't say "this is English courage" with a Kansas accent, though.

 

[Jim Brennan]

Well...yeah...the history thing. It's a bit insulting if you know the basic facts. Don't get me started.

I'll just watch the Curtiz classic or the Bergin/Thurman version.

But I used to LOVE these kinds of films. I was a total geek over them. Swords? I'm there. Chicks with swords? I'm there all day.

But when I saw the ads for this, i just. didn't. care. And I really like Crowe, Scott and Blanchett.

I'm assuming I will be disappointed.
