Wow ! ?Sounds like the historical sites were definitely worth the trip ! ?Just a sidebar, talking about European history - the new movie "King Arthur" was very good ! ?

Thanks guys.
NetEpic: Pixies rocked! ...but It was a bit weird to see how old they had become (You kindda don't expect that kind of screaming from what looks like a nice middle aged man)
L4: I saw posters for King Arthur. Is it worth a look? Personally I think this whole epic legends turned into movies is getting a bit over the top but if it stays true to the original legends without too much "Hollywood nonsense" it definitely looks promising. The whole Arthur and Grail legends myth has allways held a special place in my heart.
Cheers!

Hmmm....maybe we need a 'Movie Review' section just for movies, old and new?
Any thoughts?

YES ! ?This is the best version of the legend yet, IMO. ?And the most "historically" accurate, save for a few instances. ?Oh ... and no Grail ! ?Check it out boys ! Worth a look ! And check out the History Channel shows about it, too ... very enlightening.

Trailers make it look a bit Hollywoody, Lancealot wielding twin shortswords. Guinivere with a longbow wereing bondage gear (I am a massive fan, can't wait to see the movie) and Merlin.
I am expecting Pirates of the C-word (I am dyslexic btw) with swords and armour...

Wow, more Pixies fans, I was beginning to think that we'd pretty much died out.....The King Arthur movie trailers seem a bit off-putting to be honest but I'll be going anyway....off to see Shrek 2 today.

As I said "save for a few instances" ... Uniforms, weapons, etc. appear accurate, and this is a much "grittier" interpretation. Artorius Castus (sp.?) is no knight in shinning armor, it takes place around 450 AD, about the time the Romans were leaving the British Isles. This is much more of a historical "take" than the previous incarnations. Plus the History Channel talks about History vs. Hollywood vs. myth and legend. The movie (save for the few things mentioned) is pretty "realistic". But it's just my opinion, I'm no expert. Like with gaming rules ... do what works for you !

Haven't seen the film yet but it does look closer to the RomanoBritish culture of the time.As a Celt it will be nice to see all those Saxon and Angle bodies flying 
Oh Netepic, I'm dyslexic as well. Can you tell me why they made the word so bloody hard to wrap our heads around?
Cheers.
