OK, so what was the title of this thread about again?

With the weather being what it has lately, I can only think of autumn now. July 30th is the release date here.Originally posted by Jim Yingst:
[Helen]: A Hollywood blockbuster due out this autumn calls for a whole piece of English history and mythology to be reviewed.
I'm confused - are you talking about this King Arthur? That came out in LA a few days ago. The rest of the US gets it July 7, and the UK will get it July 30. Unless you're living in Bulgaria, Greece, or Italy it will be out well before fall. Or is there another movie you're talking about?

When they portray Arthur and his knights as 4ft tall black-toothed brutes with gammy legs, and all the women as knotty-haired, twisted crones that get knocked up at 13, then maybe we can talk about historical accuracy, or period accuracy anyway Wouldn't be much of a money maker though...

Answer honestly, Jim or anyone else. When did you discover that Arthur was a Roman ? I am pretty sure it wasn't general knowledge.

There's been theories that Arthur was a Norman invader, a Keltish freedom fighter against the Romans, a medieval knight, John Cleese, Eric Idle and many others.
The most realistic depiction of the Arthurian legend IMO is still Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
It features dirt, violence, disease, stupid noblemen and arrogant French, what more do you want?
