The characters *look* older than they are. Times were tough. It makes sense for older actors to play them. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:46 21
- Now we know where that $111k worth of publicity went. They bought Mara. -- nm - David May 11, 19:48 1
  - Fat Tire beer and ukelele's are expensive! -- nm - Remlik May 11, 20:07
- I wonder if that's just a stupid assumption on our part. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:47 18
  - you don't have to imagine too hard - look at photos of the Depression or that Afghani woman on the cover of NG. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:50 17
    - Exactly. You can see it right now among the impoverished. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:51 16
      - And Australians. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:54 11
        
        I have worn sunscreen daily since age 25. it really works. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:58 2
        
        except for the rickets. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 20:01 1
        
        Actually, I take vitamin D for this exact reason. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:01
        
        Nicole Kidman must be dunked in a vat of Oil of Olay each morning. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:57 7
        
        I don't think she has actually lived in Oz in a very long time, but she has said she stays out of the sun. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:00 6
        
        she left when she came to the US to make Days of Thunder with Cruise, so she grew up there. -- nm - Andie May 11, 20:01 5
        
        I know, but she was pretty young at that point. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:03 2
        
        Lets just let this one go. The point is, Australians are *wrinkly*. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 20:06 1
        
        No way man! I still got it! -- nm - Roger More May 11, 20:08
        
        Days of Thunder is 20 years ago. This message brought by "making you feel old" -- nm - Roger More May 11, 20:03 1
        
        oh, i know. -- nm - Andie May 11, 20:04
      - although to be complete, they should all have terrible teeth. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:52 3
        
        If I did not die of an abscess, I am sure I would have been toothless before 30 (if not 20). I have genetically thin enamel. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:06
        
        when we went to see Gunless, my friends said his hair was distracting, i said his perfectly white even teeth were more distracting. -- nm - Andie May 11, 20:01
        
        Ha! -- nm - mara May 11, 19:54
Average lifespan in that era was 33. Robin Hood would have been 17-19. Crowe is 46. (nm) - David May 11, 19:32 7
- It was that low because so many people didn't make it out of childhood. - Reagen May 11, 19:35 5
  - don't get him started on average height either -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:36 1
    - well that's a fair point since even at 5-11, Crowe would have been a giant in that time. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:37
  - it would be more helpful to know the median. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:36
  - "Less than 1% of the population lived to 45." -- nm - David May 11, 19:36 1
    - yeah, but the aristocracy (which Robin Hood might have been) would be that 1%. - mafic May 11, 19:50
- oh, so it's not just me. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:33
They'll cast Taylor Lautner in the re-re-boot. -- nm - Dano May 11, 19:31
It's Ridley Scott. -- nm - nubby May 11, 19:29
eh, I'm alright with it. no reason robin hood had to start in his 20s. - mafic May 11, 19:29
perhaps movie wise, but Robin did spend years in the Crusades. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:28
