I just saw a screenshot of a tweet about a teenager referring to Blink182 as “classic rock,” and I’m inflicting this on all of you as I wither and crumble to dust.
NO SERIOUSLY THIS MOVIE WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED
seriously, you should watch it
WHAT MOVIE IS IT?
robin hood, men it tights
it’s a mel brooks film, so it’s the same guy who did blazing saddles and spaceballs.
People practically every Mel Brooks movie breaks the fourth wall that’s the end of the movies half of the time and that’s why I love it so much, because Mel Brooks does whatever the heck he wants.
“Because unlike other Robin Hoods, I have an English accent.”
This is the type of film that the phrase “glorious technicolor” was invented for - look at the richness of the colours!
To say nothing of a phrase that gets used in this house a bit too often…
ok so this is The Court Jester with Danny Kaye and it is the best fucking movie i swear. It’s a comedy musical robin hood parody thing about an incompetent moron and his extremely competent ass-kicking girlfriend taking down a tyrannical king and restoring the throne to the rightful heir
-the rightful heir is a baby and they can tell it’s the right baby because of a giant birthmark on his asscheek
-the main character’s only talent is singing and the rest of the pseudo robin-hood group just kinda tolerate him because he repeatedly fucks up
-he gets hypnotized into believing he is this amazing swashbuckling sword fighting hero along the lines of Wesley from the Princess Bride and ends up fighting the villain while snapping in and out of hypnosis
-the vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison, the chalice with the palace has the brew that is true “what”
-he stumbles his way through the entire plot and never knows what the hell is going on
-Danny Kaye is the funniest motherfucker you’ve never heard of
The Court Jester is available on Amazon Prime, YouTube, AppleTV, Vudu, and Roku. Watch it for all of the above reasons, but if not any of those, then for no other reason than that beautiful blonde in the pink gown is Angela Lansbury.
I shall THROW myself from the HIGHEST TOWER!
(Also every visual fight gag from every other historical thing is ripped off from this movie.)
Confession time; while I may have started making my girlfriend lunches purely because I love her there’s now a little bit of gay spite involved as well. I want the straight girls she works with to see what they’re missing and hold their men to higher standards.
Operation Gay Spite has claimed its first straight relationship! I’m not sure I’ve ever been prouder of anything in my life!
