Fucking Zero Cool, magician! And I think he was Van Helsing's sidekick in Dracula 2000.

Also true haha. Trainspotting was the first time I saw him though.

Yeah I want to say that's probably one of his first movies. I think I saw him in Hackers first though. I don't think I ever got around watching trainspotting until I was in college. But I did see Dracula 2000 in the movie theater!

I recognized him once he was in a couple of scenes and I was like I know that guy and then I remembered. It's kind of pretty good cast though. You got stannis baratheon, the guy from Shogun, and John Ball is in a ton of different movies but I guess off the top of my head snow piercer. Just all working actors.

I don't really like they are making a sequel but the show runners seem faithful. I have some hope but very little. I still haven't watched the original from the 80s

I remember seeing the original one with Alan Quartermaine, can't remember that guy's name I think it's a Richard something, as a young lad. It was great and I actually sat down maybe last year and watched the new one, I thought it was pretty fantastic.
I agree though I don't know if I necessarily need a second season or whatever, we're in the age of stupid streaming and got milk everything for what you can.

Watched this last night on you guy's recommendation. Was better than the imdb rating indicated, it was watchable.
The transition to Robin Hood was jarring and not set up at all. It's like the battles just end and suddenly he has 50 expert archers in the woods that drop the kings men like flies in 5 seconds when he wants to act badass. It wasn't Robin Hood at all, it was the peasants revolt and then suddenly he became Robin Hood in the last like 2 minutes. Weird, but if they had just left that part out and had a more cinematic ending for the battles and the result, think it would have been better.

Garfield was on Graham Norton last night (UK talk show worth watching if you can get a UK copy where it's unfiltered and usually funny as all be damn) and he was describing a movie that was not what we watched. I was confused. He didn't mention Robin Hood at all. Perhaps there are a lot of edits and copies out?

I honestly didn't mind it and thought it was kind of cool. I think the movie also did say like 2 years later or something had transpired, so they probably went out into the woods and practiced their archery. It was honestly an unexpected twist, at least for me.

not really, if you can fake out BBK 1 player the whole show is on there. They kept figuring out my VPN so I just grab them of the high seas.

It works if you don't connect it to Robin Hood at all and view it as the start of highwaymen (I'm not familiar enough with the exact history of highwaymen, but I would guess they existed prior to 1300. Maybe organization and prevalence increased after this event) . Taking travel away from the rich. No more luxury gallivanting and forced to sit in their tower.

I would imagine kidnapping/ransoming rich people was a business plan back then, as well as just taking their shit if you could. I bet travel back then was a little more exciting than a road trip on the interstate today.
