I hope Ridley Scott hasn't gone senile, because I would like to meet him one day and jibber-jabber for hours about Blade Runner. Of course, it's totally possible the sum and substance of this whole Robin Hood accuracy harangue is about something just as significant as historic accuracy: The Great Movie Cash Grab. I suspect those involved in the film's production really couldn't give a rat's ass about how true their version of the story is, compared to their level of emotional involvement regarding the amicable division of the Cable and DVD royalties. "If Russell Crow is the star, then full of gold the producer's pockets are."
.... and this movie does sound fucking terrible. What's wrong with these people... !? If you want to do stories with character background, intense drama, etc, there are hundreds of historical settings and stories you could choose, apocryphal and realistic alike. If you're gonna do Robin Hood, put some metal music on and have him make Legolas look like a glaucoma-ridden pussy! (It's okay for me to say this because I have glaucoma. Nyah.)
good god. it's just for entertainment. russell crowe and kate did a great job. the movie was good and alot of people will and have liked it. who gives a crap whether or not it was true or like the others.......as a matter of fact...a change was good. just like with everything else. tired of the same ole same ole.
