It was almost 50 years ago that Holy Grail was released. It's having a mini-revival in some areas and yesterday, for the first time, I saw it on the big screen. Wow, you really do see things on the big screen that you miss at home. And it holds up! In times like these, I think it's essential to include comedy in one's media diet, and the absurdities, outrageous French accents, and knights who say Ni were just what I needed.

On the other hand, Napoleon, might be Ridley Scott's Waterloo. Yes, the battle scenes were spectacular, but the rest, non! 

Ekki-ekki-ekki-ekki-ptang, zoom, boing, z'nourrwringmm!
