Errol Flynn

I'm watching Robin Hood with Errol Flynn while I eat refrigerated oreos. *Commercial music starts* They're much better that way. Crunchy and cold.
Flynn is so snarky I cant even believe. This is one of my favorite movies. I definitely used to have a major crush on him. Will scarlet doesn't do anything but grin and laugh at Flynn's one liners. This is pretty much how the scene goes.
Sheriff: *oppressing poor Innocent*
Poor peasant: Someday, someone will save us from your oppression!
Sheriff: *Laughs and prepares to deal out a blow to peasant*
Robin: *Arrives dramatically on horse and shoots weapon out of Sheriff's hand*
Sheriff: How dare you!
Robin: I didn't know the Sheriff of Nottingham ---- (Fill in blank with wisecrack about Normans)
Sheriff: *Glares*
Scarlet: *Laughs and adds something to wisecrack*
Sheriff: I'm going to arrest you!
Robin: *Points drawn bow and arrow at sheriff*
 Sheriff and men leave angry and scared.
 Will and Robin laugh while helping up poor peasant.
Robin: *Another Norman joke*
Will: *Laughs*

I think it's interesting that Robin has sequins on the hem of his *REALLY* short tunic. And his glow in the dark green tights are hardly going to blend in with the surroundings. I'm not even going to mention Will Scarlet who is wearing bright RED! He looks like a beet!
I wonder how many times Errol had to practice that laugh after Little John pulled him out of the knee-deep river. The one where he breaks into a jolly roar a second after being mad. Pure talent, right there. That's why I love that guy.
Oh, and did you know that Flynn's middle name is Leslie? funny!
 His mustache! and hair! How does he make it Do that?
 *Laugh* I'm watching the archery tournament scene in the movie. Oh look! I wonder who this nameless, tall, undisguised, "tinker" is!? Yeah, how did they ever find out it was him? I dont think he thought his disguise through very well.
