how many blacks were there in britain in the middle ages?

Go watch a few episodes of Britannia for some lulz. The "Druid tribes" were basically ran by warrior women who were crack bowshots, pierce Roman armor and never missed. Oh, and the Roman legions had lots of Africans back then too.

At least he’s not a transgender lesbian of color. I have no problem with any of those things but to pretend they would have been “tolerant” of those things in the Middle Ages is silly. 

About the closest I've heard of is Louis XIV's brother, but it appears that was tolerated because it made him less of a threat for the throne.

At least this isn't an all chick* version.  I don't know how much longer we'll be able to say that.

 

 

*not counting lesbo porn all chick version, which probably exists.

I believe that was "Rubbin' Hoods"

what lunacy is a marian and will scarlet marriage. 

Yeah, that's just a garbage angle for a manufactured conflict that never existed in any version of this story.

I thought the Kevin Costner/Morgan Freeman/Christian Slater/Hans Gruber Robin Hood was the shit when I was a kid.  I saw it recently and couldn't help but laugh at how cheesy it seems as an adult.  Still, it was the catalyst for a lot of adventures in the woods on our farm, and my brother, cousin, and myself hurting each other with sticks.

Men in Tights was stark evidence that Mel Brooks’ film days were over.  I thought the Kevin Costner movie was funnier.

Everyone take notes... this is how you make a shit post.

The 2010 Russell Crowe Robin Hood is God fucking awful. That is all.

Robin Hood Men In Tights is probably the best one not starring Errol Flynn. Except maybe for the Disney animated version. Mssr Hood from Shrek could probably support an entire flick, but otherwise, Robin Hood in Hollywood has been an awful, awful mess. Which sucks, because it's a great story.

Yeah outside of Kevin Costner's shitty non-English accent, I don't know why his Robin Hood movie gets so much shit.

Yeah Costner's accent sucks, but outside of that it's a good solid action adventure type movie from the early 90s.  You had excellent turns by Alan Rickman and Michael Wincott as the villains and good solid efforts from Mary Elizabeth Masteranonio, Christan Slater and Morgan Freeman, among others.

(Also yes there was a cheesy 90s Bryan Adams ballad attached, but outside of the closing credits it's not in the movie and so shouldn't count against it.)

And speaking of music, another plus for the movie is Michael Kamen's excellent score:

A horribly shitty accent can really fuck up a movie sometimes. Costner did it for Robin Hood.  Keanu Reeves did it for The Devil's Own, although his acting dediciency didn't help much either.

Keanu Reeves is not a bad actor. Yeah I said it
