I've always been very, very good with the art of procrastination ;) You just never got to watch it ;)
Think Ironman will be the movie to do that.
You know... it's funny that before I went to town with my sisters (their birthday present was a "special sisters day") I wanted to say "Oh yeah, Iron Man 2 is totally on my to watch list as well. Too bad I'll have to watch it alone because mom won't want to watch the English version and the sisters won't be in Berlin next week."... now I can say... I watched it and it was as mind-blowing as I hoped it would be (since watching it at Cinestar Original was part of the "special sisters day" ;)). Okay, so there are a few kinks I thought could have been worked out but then again I guess it's the second part of a trilogy anyway (it is, right?) so they could as well just be lose ends that will be tied up in the third part anyway.
it sounds like this one doesn't
Nope. It's rather kind of a... prequel, putting a few historically incorrect things right that they usually ignore in other versions (like, you know, King Richard being actually dead around the time he's supposed to ride in and demand to kiss the bride before giving his consent to marrying Marian in a voice sounding like Patrick Stewart in a Shakespeare play give away Maid Marian) and with almost no hopping around in Sherwood Forest wearing tights and all that.
Surprised by what you say about his voice as apparently his accent is more Irish than English and he threw a major hissy fit with an interviewer that asked about it.
You mean that one (http://www.thewrap.com/article/crowe-storms-out-robin-hood-interview-over-accent-comment-17407)? I listened to it twice and to be honest... I didn't get what Crowe was saying because once he started speaking I got into a kind of voice coma (the same kind that listening to that interview at the end of Impressions always puts me in...). I only know he was mumbling stuff and then cursing and then storming out (which always makes me laugh out loud) and that's about it.
Also... one of the few great things about not being a native speaker of English: you don't really care about accents (because unless you're a linguist specializing in that kind of stuff you're not well-versed enough in the language to be able to distinguish as well as a native speaker, no matter how well you speak the language... I'm pretty sure few English native speakers could determine the difference between a south Thuringian accent and an east Thuringian accent whereas I could actually do that). As long as they sound more or less like they belong in the region you're content with it. And Crowe doesn't say enough in that movie to really determine what accent he's speaking (at least as a non-native speaker) ;).
