Enjoy 'Robin Hood' ----tooooo funny!

'Black Hawk Down' Scott to waste on pointless retread
slop like this --even as millions continue to
suffer and die FOR REAL -right next door to
Hollywood's 'fave' franchise slum --ACROSS the
Pacific ---even on this, the once again 'mysteriously overlooked' 60th Anniversary
of the staggeringly, urgently relevant --indeed,
STILL unfolding ---KOREAN WAR.
