I've only seen the Holy Grail...but it was enough to make me fall in love.

Hey, you guys, I watched Excalibur last night, and I'm wondering if any of you know - did the makers of the Monty Python films get a lot of their comedic ideas from having seen this hilarious movie? Excalibur in itself views like a VERY, very cheaply made spoof or farce in and of itself.

the pythons began writing sketches when they were at university together

Lotesse · 05-24-2005, 04:41 PM

But when did they write, for instance, The Holy Grail? Excalibur was released in 1981. Incidently, do you know what years they were at university together?

Last Child of Ungoliant · 05-24-2005, 04:43 PM

they were at univeristy in the 60's, and the films and tv series were released in the 70's, with meaning of life being in the 80's

Lotesse · 05-24-2005, 05:09 PM

That's trippy, because - if you haven't seen Excalibur yet, check it out, you'll see what I'm going on about. The timing's not right, so Monty Python couldn't have been spoofing Excalibur, but in watching Excalibur it was so funny, I kept half expecting one of those guys to pop into a camera shot and start with the "we are the knights who say 'ni'" or "but FAHthuh, I don't want to be king"; stuff like that.

Well of course John Boorman is a big fan of Python but you do realize both movies are based on the same age old legends right? Le Morte De Arthur? And yes Boorman's rendition is considered quite the classic... I can mouth almost as many lines in Excalibur as I can in Holy Grail.

Lotesse · 05-24-2005, 10:24 PM

No! I didn't realize that!! I'm an idiot! Come on, of course I realized Excalibur was derived from Malory. It's just - well, lemme put it this way - 'tis a silly movie

.

Insidious Rex · 05-24-2005, 10:41 PM

Its a classic! How many movies can you see John Luke Picard with hair shouting IF A BOY HAS BEEN CHOSEN!!! A BOY SHALL BE KING!!!

Lotesse · 05-24-2005, 10:43 PM

True that, true that!

I love my Monday gym class! The teacher is crazy. You know the "ministry of funny walks" bit? Well that`s basically what we did in class last week. I think I have Monty Python deficiency lately.

***Rían*** · 11-06-2005, 12:12 AM

That sounds like such fun, katya! And this is in Japan?

katya · 11-12-2005, 06:14 PM

Yes, of course.

It is fun! I`m glad I have that class instead of kendo or judo on Mondays for gym because the things we do are just so silly. The first marking period thing we made up our own excersize dances in groups and then performed them- it was hilarious. Now we`re doing some sort of acting out with your body a natural disaster. I wonder if they`ll make me be a cloud or rain or wind or what (typhoon!).

AHA! I knew I could find one!

shesabrandybuck · 09-25-2008, 04:41 PM

So, I was in spanish today, and we are learning about Spains history and what not. So, we were setting up our board for "Loteria" (BINGO), and she writes down the words that are going to be used for the board on the overhead. As I am writing down the words in some boxes I look up and see that "Inquisition" is one of the words. I had to sit there and laugh to myself.

Nobody expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!
