I rewatched Robin Hood the other night. Held up pretty good besides the benevolent monarchy bullshit. (hexbear.net)

lol, that flick rocks! so many negative reviews from legacy media critics over anachronism, like they are all suddenly 12th century historians and find artistic license offensive to their dissertations on Mercian fashion or whatever-the-fuck. i thought it was a creative re-imagining that kept the important themes, punched up the action sequences spectacularly, and emphasized the modern parallels with a sledgehammer. aka: a great popcorn flick.

insurrectionary folk tales like robin hood last will last forever because they are for the people.
