I'm okay. not fantastic, but been worse. I think I've got something going on with my left eye but I can't figure out what.

Itchy?

Little bit.

I need to find some eye wash and make sure it's not a particle or something. but yeah, feels a bit irritated

Maybe need a screen break.

We blink less often when using screens, which can cause tear ducts to clog, leading to dry eye.

Perhaps. I'm reluctant to give up my vice

I don’t blame you.

I was in the same boat yesterday, really itchy eyes.

Ooo, 1952 Ivanhoe is on.

Never actually saw that. Really should.

Well, it's past the middle so I don't suggest tuning in now. But I admit it being a personal favorite.

if you can stand old school 50s movies for lack of effects etc and a different style (more melodramatic) of acting you'd probably love it. Or at least start mentally assigning Kiths and Houses 🙂

Oh, I don’t have cable, wouldn’t be able to.

Well, I love the Errol Flynn Robin Hood, so yeah.

Oh you'd like this then.

Yup!

That’s my guess.

Wamba is one of my all time favorite fools.

I need to read the book, too.

Are the book and the movie similar?

Similar, IIRC (Been a long time since I read it) but there are some typical hollywood rush jobs. For example, they play musical heraldry more than once

Probably would drive Catnik nuts

Ha!

I've no doubt that the book was richer and fuller, but they still manage to convey some surprisingly 'wow, did you just force me to think?' moments which I believe were in the book.

One of my favorite exchanges (Spoiler) and one reason I adore Wamba

Servant: Milord, there is a stranger at your gate who begs shelter. He is a Jew who calls himself Isaac of York.

Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert: I share no roof with an infidel.

Wamba The Fool: Why not, sir knight? For every Jew you show me who's not a Christian, l'll show you a Christian who's not a Christian.

Oh, I like him already.

You'll probably like Cedric too, warts and all. Grumpy Saxon lord who is bitter about Norman rule. annoyed with his Son Ivanhoe for fighting off under Richard in the Crusades, and at least in the movie is surly with moments of sentimentality that deeply embarrass him.

Awwww!

Yeah, you’ve pegged my tastes.

Well, I share the fondness more than a little

Okay, must dress. Today is... dun dun dunnn ...the cleaning of the fridge!

And almost every lady I know (Forgive the stereotype) adores Rebecca the Jewess.

Ah! off with you then, have fun storming the Westinghouse (or whatever 😉 )

I shall return! gallops off

*waves* It's lunch time.

Hiya

Damn, I'm starving too... just in time!

Gnaw your arm off hungry eh?

*nod* Pretty much.

Been there.

Mmm interesting notion.
