BASKIN & ROBIN HOOD HAS A PLOT NOW
12.22.09With Ridley Scott directing and Russell Crowe sword fighting, Robin Hood promises to be the Gladiator of Robin Hood flicks, and it even has Cate Blanchett, who promises to be the the overactingest of Maid Marians. We’ve already seen the US trailer, but now here’s an international version. This version actually gives us some dialog and a hint as to the plot, which as an American I find very unappealing. Hello? Where’s the quick cuts? Where’s the rock guitar? Where’s the non-diagetic sound effects? Without that ever-present “THWACK THWACK THWACK” sound, how can I be sure this will beat me over the head with stuff? Supersize this immediately, and then pour it down my throat so I don’t have to chew.

Is Russell Crowe still playing Sherriff and Robin? Would it be possible to have Robin played by thin Russell?
KTHXBAI
I understand the European trailers for Avatar show a bunch of cuts of characters waiting their turns to speak and a lot of meaningful glances, but absolutely no pterodactyl flying or helicopter attacks.
Is this a remake of the Disney movie with the fox?
Donk, do any of them spend a significant amount of time arranging matchsticks?
Erswi, Oh…I…oh.

Perhaps I’d better go.
Yes, perhaps you had.

hint as to the plot
Dwarves doing this in American Sign Language couldn’t freshen it enough to make it watchable. A porn version of this would lose money.
Like a flan in a cupboard (which Russell will still eat)
Needs more magical black men.
Am I allowed to make racist jokes in this thread?
I’m with Shop 101 on this. I’d rather have a ridiculous rap-metal montage in this trailer than get reminded that it’s a story that I’ve seen portrayed by both Roy “Tin Cup McAvoy and an animated vixen that made me feel slightly less dirty than Jessica Rabbit did.
He’s got an unfair advantage since he’s banging a forest elf.
I’d like to see a version where Robin’s sidekick is a black guy who stands behind him yelling, “WHAT?” and “YEEEEAH!”
So when do the space monkeys show up and start blasting everything to hell?

I did think Bryan Adams turn as Maid Marion in the Costner epic was bold choice. At least that’s how I remember it.
I have no fckn chance to remember it any other way. Thanks, Hollywood !
Shop, her eyebrows were too thick to be Bryan Adams.
Looks like Rusty’s carrying 30 odd pound of gunt.

What’s that, Little John? The Sheriff is holding a pie-eating contest and has invited all the best competitive eaters from throughout the land to compete? I know it’s a trap, but my pride is too great. I have to go and show everybody in the kingdom that I’m the best eater in all of England.
Wowsa… MEM ? That was even bolder casting than I had imagined. I thought I was looking at Oliver Platt.
