Would they be Native American trickster spirits, or something the Irish brought over during the Potato Famine?

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
it was the least of the Arthur movies.
Worse than First Knight?
As others have said, nothing is as a bad as that when it comes to Arthurian movies.
I think Sue hit in on the head. The movie was mostly boring, and it was dreary. I hope that if it doesn't do well at the box office, it won't discourage any attempts at making a decent Arthurian movie sometime.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Boreanaz is in talks for the neferious Dr. Doom.

Heh. In some comics canon, that's the whole of Lex's beef with Superman. (With an obvious emasculation vibe.)

I would go with one malevolent court exile tormenting the desendents of a particular family. Or as they protect themselves with a yellow wall , maybe it's a green lantern.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Has anyone seen the movie Swimming, with Lauren Ambrose? (Not to be confused with Swimming Pool.) I just watched it, and, well, it got all these raves, but....it mostly just irritated me.
This is just like how I didn't go swoony over Rushmore, isn't it? I'm doomed to never like quirky indie films, and only love the Dude, Where's My Car?s and the Bring It Ons of the world!
....which is okay by me, really, but I'm losing an awful lot of smartypants cred this week.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Gary OLDMAN is James Gordon? How did I miss that? They should switch him with Caine.
Actually...I can see it.
You ever see The Professional? Oldman as a corrupt cop, but he's got that crazy under VERY TIGHT control?
I can see him twisting that for "good".
I think it can rock.

Hey. New board.
Standing with Hec. Rushmore is teh awesome. (Notice how I get both smartypants cred and stupid annoying cred in one fell swoop with that sentence.)
Also? The Royal Tenenbaums.
ETA: Then again, I also have memories of enjoying First Knight. But that was at least 10 years ago. So I would have been 11 or younger.
