So if I read this correctly: Because Fox and MLB were a bit early in posting results that were overturned by two statistically improbable turns of events, all sports media jumps the gun?

Most useless?

I HATE that slur.

Anders was built on an interesting concept: A famous athlete who becomes a resistance fighter, then struggles to adapt to "normal society." He didn't get enough screen time or development to really pull that off, though.

I remember MAD parodying the conclusion, with King Richard announcing he had returned to re-establish the "unquestioned divine right of kings." "Like hell, baldy!" was the response.

I remember preferring the Bergin one at the time, just because I liked Robin Hood vehicles that gave a decent amount of time to Will Scarlett. (Sure, I'm a dork.)

Lars Von Tiers' Antipope

You and Tek may be right; it's been a long time since I've seen it. Still found it entertaining.

Grail gets the dirt and poverty right; but its depiction of the nobility as harmless twits is (understandably) off. They may have been twits, but they were also mafiosi.

That Bergin film aired on Fox at first, as I recall. Robin Wright Penn was in it, too. I remember it being pretty entertaining, and that it gave a much bigger role for Will Scarlett than the Costner version. But yeah, maybe not a film for the ages.

Assuming we go with the post-Ivanhoe version of Robin Hood. In the earliest songs, Robin Hood is a yeoman (basically a farmer without obligations to a lord, IIRC). He would speak English in that case.

Amadeus: Dubstep Cut

Yeah — at first I was going to tell Marah that no one born before 1978 ever thought this was a good movie, then realized that I still have a soft spot for Police Academy 2.

Forced at gunpoint to choose between this song and "Please Forgive Me," I'd whimper out a barely audible "Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for."

Well, then, the movie did a positive thing, even if its depiction of the Middle Ages is utterly ridiculous. To be fair, though, a realistic depiction of the Middle Ages wouldn't reach a mass audience. (Maybe a Lars Von Tier crowd, though.)

You spend two hours in the movie theater, and emerge to discover that 10 years have passed on Earth.

Although I think a handful of characters (or outliers) come back for Deadeye Dick.

And as I understand, among the worst when it comes to charitable giving.

Stupid Arrow of Time . . . DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO GO

There was also the deeply depressing "Winchester meets the Chinese musicians" subplot — which Zombieland left alone.
