Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going with Withnail and I in the highest resolution version you can get, with Insomniacs After School as my anime picks.” Blaine says, “A Knight’s Tale is my pick of the titles I’ve seen, but Withnail and I has a fantastic reputation.”
As a history nerd, I should not like A Knight’s Tale, but damned if it isn’t just fun. And, you get to see young versions of several now-big-name actors go to town. Tudyk is awesome as always, but Bettany’s monologues are worth the price of admission (or purchase).
I love that movie. It introduced me to David Bowie’s “Golden Years,” and I know there a lot of complaints about how out-of-place the music is, but it captures the feel for each scene so well that I think it worked great.
I think leading the movie off with “We Will Rock You” sets the tone perfectly. Like, this ain’t textbook history. Just roll with it.
