I have not written on this site in a long time. For that, I am unapologetic. After all, this is my site -- what business do you have coming here and judging my silence? But I digress. Has anyone seen the trailer or billboards for the upcoming Robin Hood movie, starring Russell Crowe? I am pretty excited about it, and at the same time, a little nervous that they might ruin it. By now, why would you want to do a Robin Hood movie, when everyone knows the story and will probably have pretty high expectations of it? Oh, I guess that's what drives them to theatres. But this brings me to the point of this post. Has anyone noticed the tag line for the movie? "Robin Hood: The untold story of how the man became a legend." Untold? Seriously? Do their publicists think that the writers just sat around the table one night and conjured up the story of King John, Robin Hood, and a slithering talking snake? (That better be in this movie.) I walk by one of these posters every day in the subway and it drives me insane.
