Ridley Scott's Robin Hood: Men in Tights it Ain't

New at Reason: Cathy Young on Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood

. . . Cathy Young reviews the recent movie Robin Hood and explains why the Robin Hood of myth and folklore probably has much more in common with the “libertarian rebel” played by Russell Crowe than the medieval socialist of the “rob from the rich, give to the poor” cliché.

Cathy Young, at Libertarian leaning Reason magazine, has an insightful review of the latest Robin Hood remake. She also shines some light on the criticism from Karina Longworth of The Village Voice, who complained: “instead of robbing from the rich to give to the poor, this Robin Hood preaches about ‘liberty’ and the rights of the individual” and battles against “government greed.” Young goes back to the ballads of auld to point out how this new Robin Hood is closer to the legend.

Welcome to my First Post!

Hello everybody!  Thank you for visiting.

Let's see how well this works.

John and I have been working on a map for Suki I:

Looked like it worked in preview. Had some trouble with it over at Google. Kept opening zoomed in too close and I had to click the "-" button a lot just to get an image.

The map has just about every location mentioned in the book and some that are only mentioned, for now, in the character bios at SukiSite.

Added the blogs of people mentioned in the book, should appear in my profile.

Publishing Update: John submitted the manuscript for Copyright Registration today. He already has an ISBN block and will be publishing on Amazon Kindle. It will also be available in PDF and XPS formats for non-Kindle users. Price for the over 600 page book (paperback form factor, electronic) should be around $6.69 in all three formats. No final decision yet on where to distribute non-Kindle.

The SukiSite pages are being updated and cleaned up. Should be reposted soon.
