Last night I had the amazing oppurtunity to watch the origional Adventures of Robin Hood starring the incredibly cocky yet brilliant Errol Flynn.
Then it occurred to me that is another Hollywood Robin Hood film…which was horrible.
Seriously, Kevin Costner is NOT Errol Flynn! Not even close.
First of all, he’s not British.
Second, the plot of Costner’s Hood is impossible to comprehend!
Instead of the classic Archery Tournament (A trap!), Costner’s production features a golf tournament.
No one is a better villian than Claude Raines….
Especially this freak…
Lets not even go into the fact that he decides to build a baseball stadium (they play cricket there, dick head!) instead of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
Or, the random subplot of him trying to solve the JFK assassination.
Or him stopping the Cuban missile crisis.
Apparently this Hood has no idea what he is supposed to be doing.
I’m sorry Kevin Costner, but you are not Errol Flynn. You never will be. So stop.
Nope… you are not nearly as charming as the Flynn.
The phrase “In Like Flynn” was used back in the day to describe someone who parties really hard and loves the ladies really hard.
I cant ever fathom saying I’m “In like Costner.” I would rather stab myself in the throat then say “I’m in like Costner.”
So the Hood also works for the Chicago Post Office. Great. Because that is going so well.
Robin Hood does not sing!!! Stop it!
So, in conclusion, watch the the Adventures of Robin Hood. Its awesome.
