Costner's Robin Hood on DVD

Rob Babcock · « **on:** 10 Jun 2003, 12:16 am »

I just saw in BB's flyer that there's a new version of "Robin Hood- Prince of Thieves" coming out Tues. Now I actually will admit that I liked that movie, Costners' intermittent and comical 'English accent' notwithstanding. But I hated the DVD; it was one of the earlies ones I saw, and for some inexplicable reason you have to flip it over halfway thru the movie! AARRGGHHH! I had longer films at the time that fit on one side. So naturally I ditched it years ago.

Presumably this fatal flaw will be remedied in the new version. Looks like a trip to BB is in order.

Flippers are so damn annoying. I only ever picked up one (Goodfellas), and I've not watched it but the once as I don't care for it.

I kinda liked that movie as well. Was mostly Freeman that I appreciated if I recall. Though I've not seen it in years so I don't recall it that well anyways.

So Rob, have you picked up xXx (SB) & Equilibrium yet? If not you should when you stop by BB tomorrow...

I did get xXx (a couple weeks back, tho shamefully I haven't watched it yet

), haven't splurged on Equalibrium yet- better wait til payday! Only so much $, and waiting is NOT an option where the Nora Jones SACD is concerned!

I see there's a repackaged Fast & the Furious marketed to try to recast Walker as the "star" of the franchise...good luck. Sure, some guys will go see it for the car stuff, but personally without Vin I got no interest at all.

Wonder if that prequel to Pitch Black ever got off the ground?

I saw equilibrium the other day, thanks for the rec, it was excellent.

Rob,

Picked up xXx SB but not watched it yet...

Bad you!

I've actually not watched it yet either. Only watched a couple of scenes to check the differences between the SB & regular versions.

And you don't want to know how many movies I've bought, yet not watched them yet.

That's not a splurging film. You NEED it!

Tell you what. You pick it up on your next trip to BB. If you watch it and feel that you wasted your $20, I'll buy it off you for $20. You've got my address, so you know where to send it if you don't care for it.

Glad you liked it. I figured you probably would.
