What Movies Have You Seen Lately?
lol -- And speaking honestly, there's only so much actual realism that we could stand in a book or a film. No matter how brave and stalwart the hero, we're so indocrinated to expect good teeth that we'd all barf if Hero Harry had missing front teeth and the remaining ones were yellow stumps. Even if he had just rescued the heroine from a train, delivered premature triplets in the back of a buckboard being pulled by a runaway team of horses, saved the President from assassination, or stopped the nuclear destruction of the world.
He has to have a nice smile. That's why it's fiction!!!!

Finally saw Ridley Scott's Robin Hood on DVD last night. The action carried me through, but the movie left me vaguely dissatisfied. I didn't have any problem with messing with the timeline; authors and producers do that all the time with iconic characters. I think it was Robin's backstory and the link to the Magna Carta (I won't say more to avoid spoilers) that didn't work for me. Didn't seem necessary for the story.
