You are mah Rinneh. That's why. XD

I have not... I've been debating on whether I want to destroy my love for Robin Hood or not. I... dislike Russel Crowe, for he lacks the talent in acting I appreciate.

I don't really think you can say it's "about the man" when it comes to figures like Robin Hood and King Arthur. Neither have any fact about there ever being a man. Thus why they are still awesome.

And despite not being fact, that doesn't change that Arthur doesn't have a place among the nine Worthies either. XD

true there is no historical proof that there was ever one man who claimed the name Robin Hood but it has been found in both french and english history that different individuals have been referred to under that title. the first instance was in the 1100's in france where there was a record that called a man Robin Hode. later in england Robin hood was a general title that was given to most thieves. but that chance that he was a nobleman who went against the king is unlikely which is the angle that the movie takes apparently.

Lol Probably not gonna happen Lan. It is generally not welcomed with males. XD


That means very little if they are found in both French and English references. After all, Arthurian legends are all over Europe. XD

The Nine Worthies belong to three... religious backgrounds.
Christians have King Arthur, Godfrey of Boullion, and Charlemagne. The Hebrew are David, Jacob and Judas Maccabeus. The Pagan being Hector, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.

There are female ones as well, however I lack knowledge on them.

ok i am Christian and I get why Charlemagne would be considered worthy but what does Arthur have to do with Christianity?? If anything, when i think of the story of King Arthur, I am more inclined to think of things like magic and paganism. Not saying that is a bad thing but it is what I associate with Arthur.

Actually, Arthur was a christian, by legend, as were many of his knights (the holiest of them being Sir Percival and the other two whom get their hands on the Sangreal).

Fiar enough. Ha ha.

I have to get up early, so I can pick up some bread. I have to walk though, and that means an early start is necessary, lest I roast myself alive. XD

Robin Hood was good. The movie was. More moderate than great. I like Russel Crowe. Gladiator and Master and Commander were perfect. The real reason I wanted to see this movie though was because of Cate Blanchett. She is my favorite actress. There is no contest in my book actually.
