[QUOTE="Kaptain_Kantrip, post: 181209, member: 546"] I just saw KNIGHT'S TALE on HBO the other night (after avoiuding it like the plague when it came to theaters and on video)... The film itself wasn't that bad, though Joselyn telling Sir Ulrich that only by losing the jousting tourney could he prove his love for her was idiotic---but that's spoiled rich girls for you. My main complaint was the obvious: What were they thinking cramming it full of modern pop music? Okay, "hit soundtrack." But it really undermined the film's credibility and was painfully jarring to suddenly hear "The Boys Are Back In Town" when knights march into medieval London, for example. I think the film had some great jousting scenes and certainly had the potential to be a rousing medieval action/romance picture but the producers chose to treat their audience with contempt instead. Still, it was better than I thought it would be, if only for the jousting scenes. [/QUOTE]
