Mini-review of "King Arthur"

[pat]

Pretty people. Pretty horses. Pretty scenery. Nice swords. Catapults but no trebuchets. Keira Knightley and Clive Owens looking all noble and everything -- and pretty hot, into the bargain. Overpowering oppressive dramatic music.

Plot -- meh. Acting -- eh. Writing -- they could say some of these lines with a straight face?

[Edit: looking at IMDb, they quote Stephen Hunter as saying that the movie is worth the price of admission just to see Keira Knightley as a "kill-crazed, blood-drenched, pagan Tinker Bell." That works for me.]

I helped build, test, and operate a trebuchet once.

Try a websearch on "University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt" "sid colton" and probably "1996" for the one photo I know of.

Oh, and "pineapple"
