Good Morning.

Ahhh, it feels good to finally get a good night's sleep. Last night I fell asleep watching Robin Hood and finished it this morning when I woke up. I thought it was good at first and then there was no action. I was expecting badass fight scenes with Little John, 'cause I love the beast actor that plays him, and there was a total of two scenes where Robin actually shows his archer skills... the two where he shoots Godfrey. No one cares if he can shoot a flying quail! That said, I knew it was supposed to be a prequel/backstory and yet the whole time I was waiting for the famous Prince John shout from the trailer: "I declare him to be AN OUTLAAAAAAAAW!" How lame was that, by the way? Every time I saw the trailer I kept thinking more and more how stupid that is. What kind of king just yells out stuff in that manner? Holding out the end of the word outlaw is not rubbing it in any more that he's an outlaw. Just rewatch the trailer, you'll see what I mean. Or just go to this site and see how ridiculous it really is: http://robinhoodoutlaw.ytmnd.com

See what I mean? Anyway I thought that even despite the action scenes and the complete and utter rip off of Saving Private Ryan at the end and the terrible historical inaccuracies regarding the D-Day boats that it was still an okay movie... if and only if Ridley Scott decides to make an actually good sequel. One where we get to see Robin shoot people from far away in ridiculous situations and where Cate Blanchett doesn't look like she has swine flu. I really don't think that would happen though, considering Russel Crowe is what, 43? It's supposed to be a prequel, Robin can't have grey hairs on his beard and be 10 years older than he ever was in any of the previous movies (I'll give Kevin Costner a pass, because he at least didn't grow out any facial hair for his movie.... which is a whole other level of ridiculousness... a clean-shaven outlaw? Really? Robin Hood never had time to shave...) I mean, the people were already complaining in the movie that King Richard was 40 years old and really really old. Robin Hood's not far behind...


Alright, alright... the Robin Hood rant is done. Wait, no, I just reminded myself of another stupid thing in the movie. WHY WAS IT CALLED ROBIN HOOD? His name the entire movie was Robin Longstride. THAT would have been awesome if the movie was called Robin Longstride. I think it would have saved the whole movie, because people then don't instantly associate it with the typical Robin Hood story and they actually get that it's a prequel.... Anyway, now I just realized I'm ridiculously hungry, I need to watch last night's Office premier on Hulu (thank God for that website, by the way) and I need to stop using the word "ridiculous" and its variants so much. Good day, folks! You can expect another update shortly after I watch The Office!
