There's one scene that made me laugh each time, though, and it's not supposed to be funny. It's where the knight (Uther?) makes love to a woman without even taking his armor off. I remember thinking "that's got to hurt." I just couldn't take the scene seriously.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-10976044127442815962011-08-27T01:08:51.969-04:002011-08-27T01:08:51.969-04:00@Nowaysj-- You should watch it.

And a shudder at the thought of Bryan Singer doing Excalibur. <br /><br />Good grief. You're so right. For the most part the remakes are pale shades of the originals, and there are way too many ego-maniacs in Hollywood who think they can do a classic better. <br /><br />Wizard of Oz has already been done... and, maird, was The Wiz a mess. <br /><br />BTW, I love Rapture by Blondie. I have that in my iPod, and the video is in my favorites.
