Oo De Lally

Well, yesterdays DnD session didn't happen since the host got sick for some reason. Maybe he also watched melodifestivalen. If we gonna discuss that, all I can say is the entries didn't do it for me. The first song was pretty much the same song the artist used last year, and must admit last year was much better. And he won one of the places for the final. Another artist that made it to the second chance (funny enough taking place in Karlstad) had a song, that to me sounded very much like last years winner at certain places. Although when I listen to it now it sounded a bit more like the first artist song from last year. Doesn't matter, wasn't good anyway. And then the last one that caught my attention was this one. Not because it was good or remarkable, but all I could think of was that I really wanted to listen to Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. I don't know why though (waring! Sarcasm overload).


Ah, real music. Anyway, the best music was the introduction songs for the artist since... well, it is good songs. And then we have the middle acts. I didn't care for the "problems" of the host of the show, because as the show taught me a couple of years ago, "it's all in their minds". Let us all listen to some ukuleles instead... from HELL!

So, what did we do instead of looting "abandoned" crypts? We watched Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. Not a bad movie per se, just a bad Robin Hood movie. Many elements you expected wasn't there and the only thing that made it a Robin Hood movie was the names of the characters. We actually concluded it very well could have been about the swedish uprising against danes under Engelbrekt. Probably more historical accurate anyway. Of course we goofed of a lot, the best joke probably being after the ambush in the beginning, they only had two days to retirement... since it pretty much was true. And then the ending battle, how did most of the people that got there actually get there? How did Marion, Friar Tuck and "the lost boys of Sherwood" get to the cliffs of Dover? It was also impossible not to mention that it looked like freaking D-Day when the French invaded. Probably not a movie I would see that often, actually find Prince of Thieves and Disney's Robin Hood more entertaining. And since when was Robin Hood a philosopher that laid the foundation for the Age of Enlightenment?
