Nope I should though.

I have been fascinated with the Arthur legend sense childhood.

Oh yeah, and speaking of horrible things,

I just remembered the Crossbows.

Anyone else know when the Crossbow started being used... anyone... (hint it was not around 500ad)

Article on Crossbows

The earliest representations we have of the crossbow date from 400 BCE, in China.

[Pilgrim]

Good article

Here I'll continue it

The first pictorial evidence of European hand-held wooden crossbows, like the one shown here, dates to about 1200 CE. Introduced from the East during the Crusades, they were initially outlawed by religious leaders who considered them to be inappropriate for Christian warfare, but their effectiveness in battle soon prevailed over theological concerns. Crossbows, used in war until the 17th century, are still usedfor sport today

So what are crossbows doing in 500AD in England?

if they made it R instead of PG-13 and made it alot more bloody and gorey, Im sure I wouldve enjoyed it alot more. especially when the Saxon leader is on his knees in front of arthur, just waiting for his head to be chopped off.

[Infernus]

I was uspposed to see it last night... ...didn't happen as well as I had planned tho...

I saw the movie a few nights ago. I enjoyed it. The action was really sweet, expecially the iced over lake scene. I liked the characters, except for the badguy, he sucked, but Arthur and Tristan were badass. oh and whats-her-name, who played Guenivere, is fucking hoT.
