Re: The Last Legion. Actually, the historic King Arthur, if there was one, was probably a Romano-Briton leader who became a warlord-type figure after the Romans pulled out of Britain in the early fifth century. So Romans traveling to Britain at the end of the Roman Empire could have met the leader who became the basis for the Arthur legends. (And no, I'm not getting that from the Clive Owen King Arthur movie--it's been a relatively heavily-supported theory in the scholarly community.) The bigger question is...what's wrong with The Last Legion that it didn't screen for critics?

Also worthy of note: The King of Kong comes out this week, and it's brilliant. Probably the highlight of SXSW 2007. Great movie.
