I really like the whole story of Arthur and Camelot.. so we went to check out the movie last night. I wasnt impressed at all, it wasnt the story I am used to. I was more interested in arthur as a king, not as a knight and warrior.
In short: didnt like it. Anyone else see it yet? |

HAHAHAHAHA... I just fell out of my chair laughing ... I was playing it, and I have my sound off (or so I think) then suddenly blaring through the office you hear "We eat ham, and jam, and spam a lot!" People are peking out of their offices... and now the song is stuck in my boss's head...

MY three problems with Arthur (Spoilers may be included)
1) The True Story Bull Shit. Looks to me like the writer decided to go with a combination of the Roman leader with the title 'Arturius,' which loosely means Arthur, and the legend of the part-Roman part-Celt Ambrosius Aurelianus. Ambrosius fought at Badon Hill according to Gildas the Wise and The Venerable Bede. In that sense, they have done something unique, since that story has never been told. The problem with that is that Ambrosius is but a small blurb in The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by Bede, so there isn't much to work with. It is, however, a good sign that Ambrosius got into Bede's book, since Bede's work is very biased against the Celts. In other words this must have been a powerful legend for Bede to mention it. One more reason that I think Ambrosius is the main source for Arthur. 2) Why Are Guin and Arthur Having sex? Outside of the anatomical compatability is there any good reason for this? It's like two people meeting at a night club and deciding to fuck... very romantic! 3) Stirrups. For FUCKS SAKE!!!! The Stirrup was not introduced in the west (and certainly not as a military enhancment) until The Franks fought the Aribs around 700ad... 200 years after this story. It's such a minor thing, that any nimwit shoulda done but the fact they didn't just pisses me off. If you're going to make "true Stories" then at least know a little history.
