Interesting.

Sir Thomas Malory's ' Le Morte d'Arthur has been around for over 500 years, and yet we've never had a definitive Arthur on camera, via tv or movie, have we?

Mallory himself was a compelling motherfucker. He wrote a bunch of Arthur in jail, or gaol. He was a thief and highwayman, possible rapist, though the charges suggest more than likely he simply banged a lot of rich and powerful men's wives. I can't remember the name of the best biography, but the section about him in the book "The Scholar Adventurers" is awesome.

Maybe because it's so repetitious and boring.

Sword in the Stone - Disney flick from the 80s gave us a goofy towhead.
