Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Ok this movie rules, I'm sure everyone and their mom knows about it. Favorite scenes?

[snafuthegreat]

First thing comes to mind is the King Arthur/Black Knight scene. Second is when Arthur and his knights run like sissies.

But my personal favorite is the Holy Hand Grenade scene. "ONE! TWO! FIVE! (Three, sir!) THREE!"

Brave, brave Sir Robin. He bravely ran away. He bravely ran away, away, brave brave Sir Robin.

That movie rules, "Tis but a flesh wound!"

I remember when the guys were playing the trumpets out of his butt.

I like it when the one guy (can't remember his name) goes to save the prince from the castle thinking he was a woman.

That whole movie was simply classic!

Lancelot. Probably the best scene from the movie. Not as memorable as the black knight or the killer rabbit, but just so much more brilliant.

And everyone who likes Holy Grail should take the next opportunity possible (if you haven't already or if you already have) to watch Life of Brian. It's less a collection of sketches and more like one whole piece. I like Holy Grail and all, but Life of Brian is just so much more consistent. Plus, it actually has a somewhat coherent plot. You certainly can't forget the song they sing at the end either. Classic.

[Dja Majista]

(Not exact dialog)
"Listen... Alex!--"
"Erbert..."
"Erbert, sorry. I built this castle up from nothin."
...
"But mother--"
"Father son I'm father."
"But father, I want the girl I marry to have a certain... something..."
*Orchestra kicks in*
"NO No! Stop that, stop that. You'll have no singing while I'm around!"
...
"Who are you!"
"Well I'm your so--"
"Not you! Did you kill all those guards?"
"Ummm... yes... sorry."
"They cost 50 pounds each!"
"Well I can explain see, I thought your son was a woman"
"I can understand that."

Now that I think about it, everything that went on in the swamp castle scene was hilarious. And we can't forget the classic bridge of death scene.
"Stop, whoever may cross the bridge of death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side ye see..."
"What is your name?"
"Arthur King of the Britons"
"What is your quest?"
"To seek the holy grail."
"What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden swallow"
"What do you mean? African or European swallow?"
"What? I don't know that."
*bridge keeper gets cast into gorge of eternal peril*
"How do you know so much about swallows my liege?"
"Well you just kind of have to know these things when you're a king you know?"

And for the record I can play the Holy Grail intermission theme on the piano. boo yah!

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Good movie, I need to borrow that from you guys one day.

[Sinistrous]

Haha, didn't you do that before? I have no problem with it, I do think it'd be easier to download it though.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Never did, but I watched some scenes from Youtube.

[Sinistrous]

Try searching for it on google video, you might come up with the whole thing. If that fails, just torrent it.

Torrenting is a very long and painful process. I'd rather just steal a physical copy of it.

[Sinistrous]

Well, whatever. I guess if you're in the neighborhood or something, feel free. I don't see what's so troublesome about using a torrent though, click a few links and let the thing run in the background.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Oh I wasn't seriously going to steal it. I'll get to it sooner or later. How was Easter?

[Sinistrous]

Haha, there's not much difference between piracy (stealing, as you call it) and borrowing in this case though. Either way, you get to see the movie a couple of times before you get rid of it (unless you plan on keeping the file around for no reason). You just save gas if you use a torrent.

Anyway, Easter was pretty standard stuff. The Daves and I did some Brawl, that's about it.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

We had that over here too, good times.

That movie is a classic. Over here our high school was stupid and wouldn't let you watch it, but we'd watch Saving Private Ryan and other violent holocaust films. How dumb is that?

[Dja Majista]

The part with the old woman who was beating the crap out of that cat was hilarious.

And Camelot!
"Camelot!" "Camelot!" "Camelot!" "It's only a model." "Shh."
Then they go into that ridiculous music sequence and it shows Arthur and his knights just standing there afterwards.
"On second thought let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place."

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

I like the part with the woman and the Duck, or Swan, or whatever it was. I can't draw it off of the top of my head exactly.

[Dja Majista]

... Oh yeah! yeah it's a duck.

"Well, she turned me into a newt!"
"A newt?"
...
"I got better."

What about those women in the castle?
