Monty Python would be Welcome

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie by these Monty Pythonie people. They took a subject that everyone takes so seriously and made it enjoyable. It seemed to be one big game and I enjoy games. I wish to meet them so that I can tell them the story of My Green Knight. I bet they would enjoy it. Maybe it can be their next movie. Perhaps they can come visit Bertilak's Castle. I am sure they would enjoy his beautiful wife. The Monty Pythonies could even start a new game with me. Arthur and Guinvere have sat in peace and quiet too long. This time maybe I'll turn Bertilak into a giant rabbit with sharp fangs. That might finally scare Guinvere enough. This would be delightful. If I had been part of the movie I would have really turned that one man who was Lancelot, as well as many other characters, into a real newt and blamed the young lady, but only temporarily. He would have "got better." That might have added some authenticity. I might be a sorceress, but I do not dress like the way they dressed that young woman. I also do not have a mole or wart. If I did I would vanish it. I am quite powerful I could do that, any good witch could. I also think that I way more than a duck. I am not above laughing at the perceptions people have of anyone more powerful than them such as sorceresses. I definitely should like to meet them, maybe I'll send them an invite to the castle, Bertilak wouldn't mind.

Farewell All

To All,
The Grail Movie was a bit ridicilous and obscene. I thought that the way that inferiors treated King Arthur was quite disrespectful and rude. The mockery of the Grail quest goes againts Arhur and his kingdom. It seemed that only the few knights in the movie were behind his quest, and the film maker was making a joke of it. Everyone should revere Arthur as the highest authority in the land, and do as he wishes. If not, they are considered enemies and anti-God brutes who should be killed anyways. So to all who read this, stay loyal to the King, because it is the most important thing you can do in your life. Farewell.

How Dare Thee!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail you are pathetic! To make a mockery of the greatest and loyalest knight of them all, Sir Bors. I would massacre that little bunny rabbit with my long shaft of death. To have such a small insignificant creature jump up and rip thy head off is an insult, a joke, an abomination. I would shred that little rabbit and make rabbit soup or rabbit pie or even rabbit "Benedict Arthur". Oh the great Sir Bors shall have vengeance on this Monty Python. I shall make Monty Python pay for this great mistake that he has made. The one mention of myself and my head gets severed by a rabbit. Unbelievable! Vengeance will be mine!

The Brave Sir Robin

Today I Sir Bertilak had the honor of viewing Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a most epic comedy. I thought it had an interesting take on the quests of King Arthur and his knights. There were plenty of confusing arguments, tests, trials and a dreaded killer rabbit. The one character that I must comment on is the somewhat "Cowardly" Sir Robin. It was made very apparent that whenever Sir Robin was confronted with a dangerous situation he would either run away or "soil his armor". If Morgana were to give a color to make him shine it would be the brightest Yellow. I consider it an insult to knighthood that he should act like such a wussy. Even his servants would make up songs mocking how much of a coward he was. I enjoyed at the end when the knights confront the questions near the bridge of the dead. Arthur nominates Robin to go first and he quickly says Lancelot should do it. Lancelot being the courageous and somewhat psychopathic knight he is stands up to the challenge with ease. When Robin sees this he finally shows a little backbone and steps up to go next saying "That looks easy". He eventually meets his demise anyway, as he cannot remember the capital of Syria and is launched into the infinite abyss.

Regarding "Le Morte Darthur"

Alas, nothing can be more unbearable to read a tale of the death of my good King Arthur. May Mordred be cursed to death. This tale is unbearably depressing. Sir Lancelot is the greatest knight on this land as well as in the world. How could he dare to kill Sir Gareth, who loved him more than anyone on the earth? Alas, I pray the end of the kingdom of the Arthur will not be such a cruel and harsh one, but rather a peaceful one. Now I feel the humiliation at the court of my good King Arthur brought by the mantle is not my concern any longer. Oh, God, may the tale be wrong.

Excalibur

Although It pains me to see myself left out of the movie Excalibur, I respect the film nontheless. It is a fairly accurate depiction of the life and times of King Arthur. Although it was fairly inappropriate, I enjoyed seeing Merlin use his magic help Uther trick Ygraine into think he was her husband. I also liked how Arthur stumbles across Excalibur in the woods and easily removes it from the stone. Much like in many readings Arthur takes control of his kingdom quickly, proving himself in not only battle but judgement as well. Merlin was my favorite character because he was very humorous, the things he said and way he said them made me laugh uncontrollably. The only part I did not like so much was the end. The battle between Mordred and Arthur is unrealistic because all Mordred does is drive a lance through Arthur's chest. Arthur doesnt try to stop it from happenning at all. Its true that this is how Arthur falls and he does get to kill Mordred fairly easily as well, but they should have had the battle last more than five seconds.

The power of Morgana

Let this be a warning to whomever wishes to doubt the power of Morgana. Not only was she sucessful in guiding me into the Arthurian court with a most gruesome and eye catching disguse as the Green Knight. But she got the best of Merlin as well. Although it may seem very cruel for her to play with Merlins emotions and use his desire for her to gain knowlege of sorcery, it must be respected nonetheless. She made the most of her opportunity in the The Prose Merlin when she clouded Merlins judgement and bewitched hims so her could not see her plan against Arthur unfold. This would eventually lead to her theft of Excalibur and placing of an identical yet worthless sword for Arthur to use in battle. I truly respect Morganas power after hearing of this loatesome yet creative plan to bring about the fall of not only Arthur but Merlin as well.
