King Arthur definitely needs to be seen by anyone interested in fantasy/medieval times, OR a gorgeous chick in basically three strips of leather. Oh, and quite attractive guys wielding big, beautiful, thick...swords :p The story and filming are also incredible and SO beautiful...
King Arthur is out here July 30th, but I saw it in America when it came out on the 7th :p
It has Keira Knightley in it...what more do you need to say ;)
I've heard some mixed things about the movie actually...apparently it focuses more on the historical side of things (as opposed to the magic/fantasy side, i.e. the lady of the lake etc)?
Still, it looks like it could be entertaining.
Hello & welcome to the site btw :)

Ah, well I'm obsessed with all things Arthurian, and most things mediaeval, so it's a must-see for me.
It has to be better than 'First Knight' LOL

'Excalibur' was cool though, and I'm not just saying that because they wore shiny things! :)

Well of course I wouldn't DREAM of touching the Precious Things....they're local things for local people!
In summary then, we get: some kind of gothic-magpie-Tubbs-Gollum hybrid
He he he!! 8)

...or alternatively, I could just look in the mirror! :D
So, no-one particularly bothered about discussing 'King Arthur' then hmmm?? Just to get things back on track....I've heard it's rubbish!! (Not that I've seen it). IMDB etc give it a pretty rough time and every other review is luke-warm at best, and that whole 'the real story' bollocks is just that!! (Yeah, right, Arthur was a Russian fighting the Saxons on behalf of the Romans in Scotland!!?) It's a LEGEND!!! What happened is whatever The Mort d'Arthur (sic) and Mallory (??) said it was.
If it's supposed to be 'what really happened' what on earth is Excalibur doing in there ? I thought it was widely accepted, now, that Excalibur was an allegory for the process of smelting metal.....and the whole round table thing was supposed to be the place where a bunch of 'equals' could meet to discuss the running of the country....how's that supposed to fit in with a bunch of Russians having it at Hadrians wall?
'Excalibur' I'm afraid still appears to be the definitive re-telling of the Arthur story, despite it's numerous short-falls.
But, then, as I said before I haven't actually seen it so I could be wrong....(but then I haven't seen Gigli either...doesn't stop it being shite!!)

Yeah, Excalibur is my favourite Arthur film....First Knight the worst. This one CAN'T be worse...can it? 8O
Morte D'Arthur is the first thing I ever read about Arthur and I've been hooked ever since...
Shite or not, I've got to see this movie...

The whole first scene with the Glorious Knights that say Nee:
HEAD KNIGHT: Nee! Nee! Nee! Nee!
ARTHUR: Who are you?
HEAD KNIGHT: We are the Knights Who Say... Nee!
ARTHUR: No! Not the Knights Who Say Nee!
HEAD KNIGHT: The same!
BEDEMIR: Who are they?
HEAD KNIGHT: We are the keepers of the sacred words: Nee, Pang,
and Nee-wom!
RANDOM: Nee-wom!
ARTHUR: Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
HEAD KNIGHT: The Knights Who Say Nee demand a sacrifice!
ARTHUR: Knights of Nee, we are but simple travellers who seek the
enchanter who lives beyond these woods.
HEAD KNIGHT: Nee! Nee! Nee! Nee!
ARTHUR and PARTY: Oh, ow!
HEAD KNIGHT: We shall say 'nee' again to you if you do not
appease us.
ARTHUR: Well, what is it you want?
HEAD KNIGHT: We want... a shrubbery!
[dramatic chord]
ARTHUR: A what?
HEAD KNIGHT: Nee! Nee!
ARTHUR and PARTY: Oh, ow!
ARTHUR: Please, please! No more! We shall find a shrubbery.
HEAD KNIGHT: You must return here with a shrubbery or else you
will never pass through this wood alive!
ARTHUR: O Knights of Nee, you are just and fair, and we will
return with a shrubbery.
HEAD KNIGHT: One that looks nice.
ARTHUR: Of course.
HEAD KNIGHT: And not too expensive.
ARTHUR: Yes.
HEAD KNIGHTS: Now... go!
:lol:
ARTHUR: O Knights of Ni, we have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now?
HEAD KNIGHT: It is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly,... but
there is one small problem.
ARTHUR: What is that?
HEAD KNIGHT: We are now... no longer the Knights Who Say 'Ni'.
KNIGHTS OF NI: Ni! Shh!
HEAD KNIGHT: Shh! We are now the Knights Who Say
'Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zu-owly-zhiv'.
RANDOM: Ni!
HEAD KNIGHT: Therefore, we must give you a test.
ARTHUR: What is this test, O Knights of-- knights who till recently said
'ni'?
HEAD KNIGHT: Firstly, you must find... another shrubbery!
[dramatic chord]
ARTHUR: Not another shrubbery!
RANDOM: Ni!
HEAD KNIGHT: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here
beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get the two-level effect
with a little path running down the middle.
KNIGHTS OF NI: A path! A path! A path! Ni! Shh! Knights of Ni! Ni! Ni! Shh!
Shh!...
HEAD KNIGHT: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the
mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!
[dramatic chord]
KNIGHTS OF NI: A herring!
ARTHUR: We shall do no such thing!
HEAD KNIGHT: Oh, please!
ARTHUR: Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done.
KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh! Aaaugh!
HEAD KNIGHT: Augh! Ohh! Don't say that word.
ARTHUR: What word?
HEAD KNIGHT: I cannot tell, suffice to say is one of the words the Knights
of Ni cannot hear.
ARTHUR: How can we not say the word if you don't tell us what it is?
KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!
HEAD KNIGHT: You said it again!
ARTHUR: What, 'is'?
KNIGHTS OF NI: Agh! No, not 'is'.
HEAD KNIGHT: No, not 'is'. You wouldn't get vary far in life not saying
'is'.
KNIGHTS OF NI: No, not 'is'. Not 'is'.
BEDEVERE: My liege, it's Sir Robin!
MINSTREL: [singing] He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge.
ARTHUR: Sir Robin!
ROBIN: My liege! It's good to see you.
HEAD KNIGHT: Now he's said the word!
ARTHUR: Surely you've not given up your quest for the Holy Grail?
MINSTREL: [singing] He is sneaking away and buggering up--
ROBIN: Shut up! No, no. No. Far from it.
HEAD KNIGHT: He said the word again!
KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!
ROBIN: I was looking for it.
KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!
ROBIN: Uh, here-- here in this forest.
ARTHUR: No, it is far from this place.
KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!
HEAD KNIGHT: Aaaaugh! Stop saying the word! The word...
ARTHUR: Oh, stop it!
HEAD KNIGHT: ...we cannot hear! Ow! He said it again!
ARTHUR: Patsy!
HEAD KNIGHT: Wait! I said it! I said it!
[clop clop clop]
Ooh! I said it again! And there again! That's three 'it's! Ohh!
KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!...

*different film, but meh*
He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
Find the Fish .....
I wonder where that fish has gone.
You did love it so. You looked after it like a son.
And it went wherever I did go.
Is it in the cupboard?
Yes! Yes! No!...
Wouldn't you like to know? It was a lovely little fish.
And it went wherever I did go.
It's behind the sofa!
Where can that fish be?
Have you thought of the drawers in the bureau?!
Shh!
It is a most elusive fish!
And it went wherever I did go.
Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
A-fish, a-fish, a-fish, a-fishy, ooooh.
Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
That went wherever I did go.
Look up his trunk!
Yeah, it's hidden in his trousers!
