Robin Hood Re-vision

We went off to see Ridley Scott's _Robin Hood_ last night. A strange movie, sort of a prequel to the Robin Hood story as it's usually told (and it ends with a card saying "The Legend Begins," which might as well be "Sequel Follows.")

The gritty period detailing is good, and the huge spectacular scenes are spectacular (including a landing of the French army on British beaches that looks like "Saving Private Ryan" in period drag, including LST's made of logs). Lots of neat-if-impossible archer...
