The New Robin Hood Trailer Looks Familiar
Oh, I kid. But I actually don’t even care enough about Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood movie to post the real new/actual/final trailer; it’s at the link if you want to see it. Sure, it has more than one arrow being fired this time, but it seems to be saying that all the British have ever wanted to do is throw off the yoke of the British royalty and be FREE MEN NOT SLAVES — OR, UH, PEASANTS, I GUESS — and I’m not 100% certain if that’s true. Hey, British people — Ridley Scott is English, so it’s not America’s fault this time! Kevin Costner and Bryan Adams’ songs are looking pretty damn good now, aren’t they?
