Libitina, you could always try dressing as a pregnant Mary Magdalene and say that you're the Sang Real from Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. :lol: :evil: :lol:
Graham, I watched "King Arthur" on a borrowed DVD as I would not even spend the money to rent it. And it was just as bad as I had both heard and expected it to be. The low point of all low points was the rather corny replay of the "Miracle of the Ice" from Sergei Eisenstein's classic "Alexander Nevsky." But then, I also hated the John Boorman version called "Excalibur" as it was pure fantasy from Sir Thomas Mallory. My wife and I nearly fell out of our seats we were laughing so hard when Uther bedded Ygraine while dressed in a full suite of plate, removing only his codpiece. Yeuchh! One of these days, someone will actually try to do a serious job of placing Arthur in a post-Roman environment and actually permitting the mythos of the times to play a part.
