Tara ,'Get It Done'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Let me join the Knight's Tale bandwagon. When the anachronisms are gleefully deliberate I can relax and enjoy them. And I was reluctantly dragged to Knight's Tale but I clapped and cried with the rest of the audience at the end.
more fun with Geography: in When Harry Met Sally they drive South on Lake Shore Drive to get to New York from the University of Chicago.
I don't recall ever being thrown out of the movie by any of the songs in Grease, but perhaps the fact that Sandy and Danny exit the final scene via flying convertible left me with lower standards for verisimilitude than I might have had otherwise.
I enjoyed Knight's Tale, but he should have gone for the blacksmith chick, who was way cooler and not unattractive.
But then we wouldn't get the silly joy of A Knight's Tale!
Plei keeps trying to get me to watch it. I have so far resisted. But in terms of gleefully deliberate anachronisms, Marie Antoinette is the winner in my book. I love that movie with a blind and unreasoning love. Pretty dresses! Shoes! Little cakes! Music from Siouxsie and Bow Wow Wow and The Cure and Adam Ant!

No! Kate's mine!
but seriously, have you watched the deleted scenes?
Nope.

I did not enjoy the Knight's Tale because not only did I hate his love interest with a blazing hot hate that I usually reserve for Scooby Doo and George Bush, I didn't even realize until the end that she wasn't supposed to be a haughty bitch and he wasn't going to get together with the cool blacksmith chick.
I did enjoy yummy Paul Bettany, though....

100% my reaction, up to and including the Bettany love.

How DARE you speak the name of Scooby Doo in the same breath as George Bush! Defame not the name of that beloved pooch.

Yeah, if you wanna pick on a dog, pick on Scrappy Doo.
