And at least, the actor playing robin hood can speak with an english accent:D

Prince John: And why should the people listen to you?
Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
[referring to the then recent blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in which Kevin Costner played the role with an American accent]

:har:

Last night i watched Blade Runner, directors cut in blue ray, at my friends home cinema, it was really great.:rock:

Robin Hood is English.....

Also I think Russel Crowe will do a better Englishman than Mel Gibson doing a Scot. How I hate Braveheart............Unfortunately people round the world seem to base their Scottish history on that one film.

At least Robin Hood is a was he was he not kind of character.

I know this is going off topic but after Braveheart and The Patriot I couldn't help but get feeling that Gibson doesn't like the English, almost like he has an axe to grind.

Say what? :har:

Please enlighten us, O Tongue-speaking Xabbarus :O:

Which one - Director's Cut or Final Cut...? The two are not the same.

Oh right, it was the Blade Runner The Final Cut Special Edition in blu-ray.

Tears in Rain - Blade Runner Final Cut

I know that movie for almost two thirds of my life now, and must have seen it 30-35 times, I know every line spoken and could act in any role in any scene and know every gesture and every motion and every facial expression - and still it gives me a shiver when just remembering the sounds, the looks, the music - or that rainy gloomy evening when I saw it the first time ever in a small, dirty Off-cinema in Berlin. I was still at school and had to smuggle myself through at the desk, due to the age limit.

Must be some kind of an obsession, i admit. Only very few things I ever strolled over, have had so much influence over me in my life.

I meant was he a real historical character or not? Did he exist or is he an amalgam of several guys from that time in history.

Now as for the wearing tights things and his sexuality. Well that is a different story.

Robin Hood, Robin Hood and his merry men,
Used to lure their enemies back into their den,
Knock them out and tie them up for a bit of fun
Then take away their trousers and take them up the bum.

That trailer reminded me a little of the last King Arthur film...looking forward to it.

Part of the problem is that while the earliest mention of Robin Hood (Piers Plowman, 1377) could place him as early as King Richard's reign, the earliest story which actally mentions a king (A Lyttel Gest of Robyn Hode, 1510) makes it "Our good King Edward", meaning most likely Edward II (1284-1327), who wasn't even born until almost 100 years after Richard Lionheart died.

Little John is the only companion of Robin who is mentioned in any of the original ballads. Tuck, Marian, Will Scarlett - they all came along much later.

Many of the stories of Robin Hood's deeds are also told of other outlaws, men whose existence is verified in royal documents. No person by the name of 'Robin Hood' is ever mentioned in any official source.

I recently reread an old favorite covering the subject in detail, but as I borrowed it from a friend I can't remember the exact title or the author. I spent some time going back over the 'What Are You Reading Right Now' thread, but of all the many books I've read in the last four years, I forgot to mention that one.:damn:

But here is a good website:

Hmm yea... it was a bad joke :D

I think we can all agree with that. :haha:

Hm, it seems I'm missing something here.

But it's one of man's basic rights to make bad jokes. Just read Voltaire.

Sorry Sky, it's one of those language-specific weirdnesses. It's all about how it sounds to someone who doesn't speak the language.

Ah - yu mean ziz harsch ant crul Dschärmän äksent zing? :woot:Ze Romäns olso komplänt on zät. Bat zät only wos befor zäy went into zät Germanik forest. :D

ROFLMAO!!! :har::har::har:

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Ja, dat's ze vun!

I've told this story before, but with the debate going on over the SH5 trailer voices I have to repeat it here.

Back in the SH2/DC days people actually complained the other way; that is they didn't like the English voices having German accents. But the best part was when a German user of Destroyer Command posted asking if someone could send him a full DC sound file set. It seems that the German version only had German voices, speaking in a bad American accent, and he wanted the real thing.

What goes around comes around.
