It's not a question of where he grabs it, it's a simple question of weight ratios. :D










Movie rawks, and if you don't like it you're a poopoo head.

They think I am a little crazy.

Is that because you dont carry the wheelbarrow and the bell?

Yes, and no (assuming you can easily find one cheaper)

The OP is a product of the modern crap on television...
There's no laugh track letting him know when things are funny.

If there was a poll: Is Holy Grail Funny? It'd be 1000 to 1.

erm, quite the opposite, actually. Arrested Development is my favorite show on television right now -- there's no laugh track and I'm laughing almost the entire time.

I talked about it in-depth with my friends, and we decided that the reason I didn't like the movie was because there was no suprise involved. I like other Monty Python movies, but before even seeing this movie, I've heard people quote all the lines so often that hearing them again makes me groan.

No surprise?? 20 seconds into the movie it's a surprise... you hear then see King Arthur riding into view... then it's only "two empty 'aves of coconuts"

No doubt.

NOW GO AWAY, OR I WILL TAUNT YOU AGAIN!

;)

I believe it's "Now go away or I shall be forced to taunt you a second time!"
Actually, it's "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!"

OP = teh suck.

King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king.
Sir Galahad: What are you doing in England?
French Soldier: Mind your own business.

So, religion majors and philosophy majors will find it funnier.

OP....
You are entitled to your own opinion, but you still suck.

The holy grail is very funny, but in a dry, british way.
It's a very polarizing humor.

You should have watched it with the Shakespeare subtitles on then. A totally new surreal experience.

It was a great movie, except for the ending-there was none-the movie just stopped. I suppose that's funny in a British sort of way.
