Robin Hood and plastic surgery, huh?
May 22nd 2010 04:19
After much debate over which movie to see (I wanted The Hurt Locker and he wanted Robin Hood) he won out after putting a half-hour foot rub on the negotiating table. What can I say, I’m easy.
So it was off to the show where we grabbed the way over-sized box of popcorn along with a couple of frozen Cokes whose mere size made us look like 4-year-olds drinking them. Forty dollars later but still happy for the over-indulgence, we found some seats near the front that were so close, I’m pretty sure you could see up Robin Hood’s nose.
Now, I know Russel Crowe is a bit of a legend here in Australia, and I am not about to knock him; believe me. But, I had recently seen an interview with old Russel about the making of Robin Hood where he said he was proud of the fact that they had stuck closely to the true history of the time and the man, and tried to avoid all the fantasy bits.
The only teensy, weensy problem I had while watching the movie, and perhaps it was just me that felt this way, was the woman who played the wife of someone in the king’s court. There is one scene where I should have been paying attention to what the king was saying, but all I could do was stare at this woman (I think) standing behind him that looked like she may be the carrier of a “Preferred Cosmetic Surgery Patient” card.
This woman had been under the knife more times than a room full of cows at a steak convention. Now, I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that plastic surgery wasn’t around during the 12th and 13th centuries when all of this was taking place.
And I may be being picky, but it was sort of like watching a movie about the pioneer days in America and suddenly a car zips by in the background; you see my point.
That being said, my husband didn’t notice a thing and other than nip/tuck lady the movie was a smash; well worth the popcorn in our teeth and numerous brain freezes.
