Hank banged a metric shit ton of hotties in that series but none as hot as Natasha McElhone, IMO.
That woman is a Goddess.
She was also the First Lady in Designated Survivor. I haven't had Showtime forever so I never saw that show. [Reply]

Plus, I didn't care for the type of Guinevere Knightley portrayed for some reason.

As much as I like Kiera Knightly as an actress, I just didn't care for that version of Arthur, Guinevere and Camelot.
I've never cared for Julia Ormond because she's always so cold, at least in the films I've seen her star.
Yeah, that version of King Arthur is straight garbage. It had some potential, but it was straight garbage. [Reply]
I wish we'd get just a straight remake of the classic Arthurian story.
About 60% Excalibur, 20% Camelot (and NO SINGING!) and 20% First Knight. First two are good, but quite dated, and high on the cheese factor.
Make it like Game of Thrones and it would be a smash hit.
By the way, I never realized until this week just HOW MUCH Monty Python and the Holy Grail was a spoof of Excalibur and Camelot.
There's a lot of scenes they parodied. In fact, I'm pretty sure they parodied BOTH versions of Merlin with Tim the Enchanter and the Bridgekeeper. The singing thing just occurred to me today. :-) [Reply]

Holy Grail came out in '75. It couldn't have been a spoof of Excalibur, which came out in '81. [Reply]

The film features excellent actors and a score by Hans Zimmer but the direction from Antoine Fuqua was just bad and this genre is just way out of his wheelhouse. [Reply]
