#monty python holy grail ale

[jeffcross5000]

Listen: an absolute hereditary monarchy, a hereditary nobility, and a single organization monopolizing interstellar spaceflight is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical worm byproduct that makes you psychic.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: SJM vs Elriel, the Black Knight

{enjoy this rewriting of the infamous scene but as our favorite fated mates author taking on people who are against fated mates}

SJM simply existing in the world doing interviews and writing.

Elriels: Who dares to challenge the Black Knight?

SJM: I do not challenge you. I am Sarah Janet Maas, author of ACOTAR. I seek to write about fated mates with happily ever afters!

Elriels:

SJM: As you can tell, I intend to write two more books featuring one couple per book with one story following Azriel and Gwyn where the other follows Elain and Lucien. Would you like to read it?

Elriels: Never.

SJM: You make me sad. But so be it. Come Gwynriels, Eluciens, and casual readers.

Elriels: None. Shall. Pass.

SJM: I have no quarrel with you, brave Elriels, but I must get writing with the rest of the series.

Elriels: Then I will threaten to kill you, your child, and your dearest friends until you confirm Elriel.

SJM: So be it!

SJM writes ACOSF and approaches Elriels. Elriels throw their argument that Elain is perfectly suited for the night court and fits right in. SJM fires back with Cassian and Nesta stating Elain in Night Court black is ridiculous.

SJM: Now stand aside worthy adversary.

Elriel: ‘Tis but a scratch. What does Cassian know about fashion?

SJM: A scratch? It was an entire paragraph and Nesta said the same thing!

Elriel: I’ve had worse. Come on you pansy!

Elriels lob the theory about how Azriel will help Elain with her powers and he respects her. SJM counters by writing that Elain wants to use her powers and Azriel shuts her down to the point where Amren scolds him for it.

SJM, sinking to her knees: Victory is mine. I will thank thee readers by giving you the bonus chapter showing Gwynriel is endgame…

Elriels, kicking her in the head: that’s a red herring.

SJM: You are indeed brave, but the fight is mine. You haven’t gotten any theories left!

Elriels: Course I have, it’s just a flesh wound.

Elriels throw out the theory that Gwyn is an evil lightsinger, luring Azriel with her singing and that’s why his shadows responded to her. SJM writes the HOFAS bonus chapter where Azriels shadows dance for his singing too.

Elriels: I’ll do you for that. Come here.

SJM: what are you going to do? Threaten me again?

Elriels: I’m invincible. You wore a Bambi shirt and gave Elriel five books of build up!

SJM: You’re a looney!

SJM talks in an interview with the today show that sometimes she might plan to have two characters get together and will get them to kiss and then they just won’t and then another character comes along and it’s *snap* which was verbatim what happens in the bonus chapter.

Elriels: We’ll call it a draw.

SJM: come on, Gwynriels, Eluciens, and Casual Readers.

SJM et. al. continue on knowing they are right and Elriels are a lost cause.

Elriels: Running away huh? You Gleeriels, come back and take what’s coming for you. Elains book is next and Guilty as sin is Elriel coded!

[guineapigdan]

Here's some of the people I met at San Jose Galaxy Con 2024 this year!

-Monty Python member John Cleese. He gave me his autograph and his finger in my ear. While he autographed my copy of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," I told him I liked Terry Gilliam's animations and I'm an artist myself. He looked at Domino on my GuineaPigDan shirt and said he liked guinea pigs. :) He also had an interesting Q&A panel that I attended.

-Michael Dorn, the actor for Worf on Star Trek TNG. I told him TNG was the first Star Trek show I saw as a kid, thanks to my parents.

-Weird Al Yankovic. I told him the first music video of his I saw was the Weasel Stomping Day video!

-Captain Kirk aka William Shatner. Like Cleese, he also did a Q&A panel that was interesting to listen to, telling stories like how he helped Patrick Stewart put on pantyhose to protect his legs for the horse riding scene in Star Trek Generations, and how one of his most intimate moments with Leonard Nimoy was bonding with him after the both of them went through nasty divorces at the same time. Very odd stories! Unlike Cleese, Shatner did not get up-close and personal with me and had a little deflector shield between him and guests.

-John Beatty, Marvel artist for the original 1984 Secret Wars comic. The writer for Secret Wars, Jim Shooter, was supposed to be at the con but canceled. I was very lucky to find that Beatty attended though, and I got a poster autographed by him!

Holy Grail, Black Sheep Brewery

Holy Grail, Black Sheep Brewery

This beer compares 2 of my favourite things : Monty Python and …….. beer! Cracking this one open the smell is wheaty, sweet and malty. It’s got a very typical Golden Ale smell to it but still inviting. On the taste-side it delivers that sweet and malty flavour from the aroma, resting nicely in that typical Golden Ale style. A very traditional English Ale taste which is both pleasing and…

It’s Historical Headcanon Hour again pals, here we go.

Tonight’s headcanon is that Nicky’s sword belonged to his father before him. Here’s my train of thought: If he was a priest who could afford to be well armed during the first crusade he probably came from a reasonable well off family, but not one so well off that he would have a family name and be a nobleman. If he was a priest he was a second son, and the first son would have a sword of his own. Ergo, when he signed up for the Holy War, his father who for some reason didn’t also go gave him his sword. 

Also early medieval italy was like the wild west still recovering from the fall of the Roman Empire that kept everything running until it didn’t,  so I say well off family quite loosely. Genova didn’t even form itself into a proper city-state until pretty much exactly the time of the first crusade. Also Genova was one of the city-states that was dealing with Muslim sea raids at the time so more reason for baby Nico to think he knew what was Right and what was Wrong, until he met Yusuf.

Top 10 Films of 1975

will be giving my top 10 favorite films from every year in the 1970's

10.The Apple Dumpling Gang

A fun wester family comedy

9.Jaws

I dont love it like other people do but it is a good film

8.One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest

Outstanding cast ,not just the leads Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher,but Brad Douriff ,Will Sampson,Christopher Lloyd,Danny Devito and Scatman Crothers are all phenominal

7. Death Race 2000

A fun dark sci fi satire ,with Sylvester Stallone as the villain

6.Terror of Mechagodzilla

Ishiro Hondas last hurrah in the Godzilla franchise,and the end of the original Godzilla series and it s a good note to end on

5.Zorro

A highly underrated action adventure film .I feel like in the sea of Zorro films it gets lost ,which is a shame cause its one of the best

4.The Man Who Would Be King

A classic film,with a great double act with Michael Caine and Sean Connery as villain protagonists

3.Rocky Horror Picture Show

A film that for me is just a plain classic ,with a hypnotic performance by Tim Curry and amazing songs

2.Monty Python and the Holy Grail

A hilarious spoof of the Arthurian legend

1.Dog Day Afternoon

The story of a bank robbery turned hostage situation ,I have a soft spot for movies where a character is out of the depth and thats what I like about this film,Al Pacinos character is not prepared for how crazy this simple robbery becomes ,and I also like how you slowly get the story about why he is do8ing this

Has this been done yet? We all know Al would do this.

[maxwell-grant]

Well you brought it up so now I gotta ask if any of the following are Pulp Heroes: Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight, Benito Mussolni,the Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis, Jambi the Jeanie, Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo-Pan, Superman, Every Single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston, Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, or Hulk Hogan

Damn you anon I had just managed to get this song out of my head

The only character in there who's got any sort of connections to pulp is Lo-Pan, for fairly obvious reasons. There's bits of Star Trek that are related to pulp sci fi but I wouldn't consider it pulp because it's very strongly defined as the sci-fi tradition that broke away from the pulps for good.

Although I'll point out that, if The Rock and Hulk Hogan had been celebrities during the pulp era of 1900-1950s they definitely would have had pulp magazines about them. Lots of popular figures like Eugen Sandow and Houdini and Dick Turpin and Al Capone and Buffalo Bill either starred in pulp magazines or had characters heavily based on them. The "celebrity pulp" is something I'm gonna get into in a separate post but it was definitely something the two would have been involved with had they achieved fame in that era.

And The Rock was slated to play Doc Savage at some point so he was almost the one definitive yes to your question.

[incorrectstarcoquotes]

Incorrect Recap - S2

Alright @seddm​, Round 2 it is! My first round and his first round. Let’s get it on!

My New Wand - Star learns wandless magic in order to prevent starco from being canon early because why would we want that? It’s just the only thing everyone wants.

Ludo In The Wild - A nature documentary is the best way to show what Ludo has been up to.

Mr. Candle Cares - Tom does something wrong again and everyone still spends four years trying to convince me that he didn’t, and even if he did, it’s okay.

Red Belt - A Marco-centric story is the best way to catch up on some character development. Also, the Diaz’s are afraid of the store?

Star On Wheels - A car chase through a southern California freeway is the best way to show Star and Marco’s trust deepening.

Fetch - A dog from another dimension tries to fry its own brain to catch a break. I’m sorry, what?

Star Vs Echo Creek - Star runs away from accepting responsibility from a crime she committed and Marco spends all day and all night trying to look for her (but we don’t see that part).

Wand To Wand - Wand to wand, man to man, hand to hand. Both Star and Ludo learn to use their half of the wand.

Starstruck - Star learns the same lesson we all do, never meet your heroes.

Camping Trip - River travels dimensions through sheer force of will to be a third wheel to Star and Marco’s camping trip.

Starsitting - Babysitting is the best way to show how Star and Marco’s dynamic would be married with children.

On The Job - Buff Frog does as any good single dad would do and goes out to try to bring home the bacon...er, corn.

Goblin Dogs - The show beats down the Marco money joke until we’re introduced to a character I slowly start to hate.

By The Book - Glossaryck uses his omniscience to fuck with Star, and we learn that Ludo does know Marco’s name.

Game of Flags - Star makes her own team of two with Marco at a family reunion as they a play a game that everyone is a little too into. It’s like playing football at Thanksgiving in Texas. Even the people who don’t like football are suddenly experts.

Girls’ Day Out - Star and Janna totally become friends as Marco gets a reminder of that Jackie body. I mean, DAMN.

Sleepover - A magic box voiced by Goku forces the characters to develop.

Gift of the Card - Star and Marco act more like a canon couple than most canon couples and my favorite character name is introduced.

Friendenemies - Tom and Marco actually bond over boy bands and karate movies. I’d actually buy into this if Tom fans hadn’t been talking shit to me this whole time.

Is Mystery - Buff Frog goes up the ranks of everyone’s favorite character list by furthering the main plot.

Hungry Larry - An interdimensional terror is the best way to teach Rafael that adult fear is legitimate fear.

Spider with a Top Hat - My eight year old niece turns to me and asks, “Are we still watching Star vs?” because neither one of use could believe the crap we were looking at.

Into the Wand - We learn that Toffee is corrupting the wand and the magic but Star doesn’t figure it out until much later.

Pizza Thing - Pony Head makes everything worse for Marco because she’s Pony Head. It’s kind of her thing.

Page Turner - Star proves that she’s a Gen Z-er by believing that ancient dark voodoo whatever isn’t a big deal.

Naysaya - Tom does something wrong again and again everyone tries to tell me that he didn’t, and even if he did, it’s okay.

Bonbon The Birthday Clown - Star vs pulls a hard Toradora by having Star realize that more Jarco time does mean less Starco time. Ludo steals the book and changes the game for the characters and the plot.

Raid the Cave - Star and Marco pull a Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Star’s parents do what all leaders do and try to downplay the severity of the crisis.

Trickstar - "Weird” Al Yankovic sucks the joy out of people which is the opposite of what he does IRL.

Baby - A cute little cat thing gives Star a reality check.

Running with Scissors - A crazy episode about Marco getting his own dimensional scissors has so many terrible ramifications through the fandom. Like my God I fucking hate all you dumb motherfuckers “He’s 30. He’s 30.” THINK FOR FIVE FUCKING SECONDS YOU PIECES OF SHIT. DID NO ONE THINK WHILE MAKING OR WATCHING THIS EPISODE? AARKDAKL;SDF

I’m sorry. I lost my head for a while there.

Mathmagic - Star almost destroys the multiverse because she’s not good at math.

The Bounce Lounge - Star tries to save her favorite hangout and...that’s really it.

Crystal Clear - There are few things worse than watching a dumbass try to be smart, as Star learns.

The Hard Way - Ludo learns a spell. One spell. Singular. Toffee shows himself again.

Heinous - Marco’s parents will believe anything.

All Belts Are Off - Marco tries to get the approval of someone who really isn’t worth it, and turns out, Star really is a bug.

Collateral Damage - Star learns how crazy the people of Echo Creek actually are and Marco becomes an odd number because he literally can’t even in this episode.

Just Friends - The show pulls a Toradora for the second time but far worse.

Face the Music - Patrick Stump figures out what took everyone else two seasons to learn that STAR BUTTERFLY IS IN LOVE WITH HER BEST FRIEND...and his name is Marco Diaz. Star’s parents face political blowback because they’re just the worst.

Starcrushed - All of my worst hopes and fears come true until that last minute.

[kevrocksicehouse]

The nuanced-mugging of Michael Palin who turns 78 today and used to belong to some comedy group or other:

Sir Galahad/Dennis/Knight who says Ni/et al. in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. D: Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones (1975). Sir Galahad the Chaste survives a castle full of beautiful young girls…barely (“Look, let me go back there and face the peril….Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?”) only to fall to indecision over his favorite color; Dennis is a socialist peasant who disputes the legend of Excalibur (“Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”); The leader of the just and fair Knights who say Ni keep changing the rules of their quest (“You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest…WITH…A HERRING!”) and Palin, the Python’s most inspired clown, masterfully demonstrates the troupe’s essence – hyperintelligent and literary comedy writing, clothed in the trappings of insane silliness.

Pontious Pilate/An ex-leper/Boring prophet/Ben the Prisoner et. al in Monty Python’s Life of Brian. D: Terry Jones (1979). Banned for blasphemy and you can see why – not so much for denouncing Christ as for satirizing the whole idea of organized religion--this film had Palin playing an ex-leper beggar cured by Jesus (“One minute I’m a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood’s gone. Without so much asa by-your-leave! ‘You’re cured, mate.’ Bloody do-gooder.”) A cellmate of Brian’s making light of his torture. (“They have me in manacles!...Manacles! Ooooh, my idea of heaven, is to be allowed to be put in manacles. Just for a few hours…..they must think the sun shines out your ass, sonny.”) and the spectacular verbal slapstick of his Pontius Pilate whose speech impediment cracks up the citizenry (“Give us Woger….Give us Woderick!”) and almost saves Bwian, I mean Brian, and whose almost straight face while trying to get his guards to doom themselves by laughing at his friends (“Anybody else feel like a giggle….. when I mention my fwiend… Biggus….Dickus?”) is one of the best examples of “breaking” in movies.

A chaplain/A Dad/The Lady Presenting the End of the Film et al in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. D: Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam (1983). In a throwback move towards the interconnected sketches of Python’s TV series, Palin doubles down on religious satire as an unctuous chaplain (“Forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and barefaced flattery. But You are so strong and, well, just so super.
