FIRST TIME WATCHING: A Knight's Tale!!
Added 2023-07-07 16:01:00 +0000 UTCHappy Feature Friday Folks!!
I know I probably should've done a poll for this week, but hear me out...
I forgot 🤪
Haha sorry! I also just had a really hard time coming up with a good poll when I was brainstorming. That paired with the minor back pain flare up I had just meant I really needed to watch something heartwarming and fun so alas, here it is: A KNIGHT'S TALE!
Hope you all enjoy watching this with me. I watched this on Netflix for those who are curious. Thank you so much for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, take care and stay golden!

Yes please watch 10 things I Hate About You. Great movie, and Shakespeare is always relevant.

2023-08-17 09:18:55 +0000 UTCI call it Period Mixed Modern, the style you mention a handful of times wherein the movie is set in medieval times but it mixes in modern elements. It's one of my go to styles when I'm directing a silly period comedy. I'm not aware of an industry term.

2023-08-16 17:06:56 +0000 UTCYeah I've probably seen this movie at least a dozen times and never even knew it was there. But back when this movie came out post credits scenes weren't really a thing.

2023-08-10 23:38:29 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this movie. One of my all time faves!

2023-07-21 21:48:44 +0000 UTCAlso Chaucer really did disappear for a short period around this time. And there was a real Edward the Black Prince who was the heir to the throne until he died in 1376, leaving his son to become king as Richard II.

2023-07-20 18:21:32 +0000 UTCI've watched this movie so many times over the years, but this is the first time I've seen the post credit scene. Didn't even know.

2023-07-10 19:28:52 +0000 UTCAs a medieval reenactor I found the modern songs and dancing very jarring. It was so anachronistic that it kept me from really enjoying the movie. Once I heard the director cometary where they were trying to show what the medieval person would feel using modern aesthetics and songs it changed how I saw the movie. Now I can see the rock and roll nature and look past the modern stylizations and I really started to enjoy the movie. It has become one of my guilty pleasures. And for those who didn’t understand who Jeff was, it is Geoffrey Chaucer. A writer and poet, most well known for the Canterbury Tales, and is often called “the father of English literature”.

2023-07-10 02:52:50 +0000 UTCI rememeber when I first saw the trailer for this I thought the "modern" music was goofy. But when I saw it in context I loved it. The director said the reason given was to give modern audiences the feel of what it was like at the time. So rather than show a historical dance he showed the same feeling the dance gave by showing it how we'd envisage it. Same with the crowd with the facepaint etc.

2023-07-09 20:12:26 +0000 UTCalso if you’ve ever seen rockadoodle the cartoon movie it’s based on chanticleer from the rooster’s tale in canterbury tales
Scott Kinne
2023-07-09 20:03:26 +0000 UTCjsyk “the canterbury tales” by geoffrey chaucer is a real book written a super long time ago. (i read it for english lit in 11th grade) it has a bunch of tales such as the knight’s tale, the roosters tale etc. the pardoner and summoner, the two dudes who stole chaucer’s clothes, are absolutely obliterated in their tales like he said he would do.
Scott Kinne
2023-07-09 20:02:39 +0000 UTCListen, the way I screamed NO at my screen when the Netflix version didn't have Chaucer's speech at the stocks. It's a deleted scene and it's the best damn scene of the whole show. Nat, even if you don't react to it, you gotta look it up and watch it. You can see in this version that when the prince revealed himself, Chaucer was red-eyed crying. That's because he'd just delivered a heart-wrenching speech, his best one. And you just gotta see it. But loved the reaction and so glad you gave this movie a shot! It's a true classic and really changed the game for the way anachronisms were used in movies like this.

2023-07-09 08:27:30 +0000 UTCI love this movie. No matter how many times I watch it, the reunion with his father always gets me. Roland is my favourite character, his love for William and his side thing with Christiana is so wholesome. And to this day, this movie still makes me crave tansy cakes with peppermint cream. Thank you for the great reaction Nat😁

2023-07-08 17:09:47 +0000 UTCI love this movie. When this was in theaters it was a very popular choice for couples to go see, because through reviews and word of mouth people heard that it is romantic, funny, has good music, and is about knights and medieval combat, so everybody wins with this choice. A handful of years later we heard that there was a sequel on the way for the Christopher Nolan Batman movie, that was kinda dark and menacing and cool, and that in the sequel the badguy was going to be The Joker, the crazy badass nemesis of Batman. "Who's playing The Joker? Heath who? Ledger? What, the goofy, handsome blonde guy who played the the Knight in A Knight's Tale, and the gay cowboy from Brokeback Mountain is going to be the insane killer clown in the Batman sequel? Bah, I don't see him pulling that off, he doesn't fit the role. They should have gotten someone more people recognize, someone with more attitude." I swear, everyone I talked to thought the same thing, including me. Damn, we couldn't have been more wrong. A big part of Ledger's success in portraying The Joker, in so far as the general public acclaim is concerned, isn't just about how well he played the part, it's about how thoroughly and dramatically he smashed the preconceived expectations that the viewers had of him before seeing it. It was such a huge departure from his previously most recognized roles, it was like he truly became a whole new entity, and A Knight's Tale had a significant role in building the preconceptions of the viewers.

2023-07-08 14:41:25 +0000 UTCi watched this alot when it came out because i was really into medieval stuff that time! Did you recognize naked Vision?
FatLittleButterfly
2023-07-08 13:58:40 +0000 UTCA real favourite. There definitely should be more historical movies like this, that go for the spirit of the times over accuracy.
Jacob King
2023-07-08 10:44:44 +0000 UTC90's music in a rom-com that is both charming and also a sports movie...? Best sport movie imo

2023-07-08 06:04:54 +0000 UTCAgreed about Blast From The Past. Fantastic movie. It's Fraser though. not Frazer.
Misty Crom
2023-07-08 04:57:40 +0000 UTCWell, this isn't on Netflix in the UK, but thankfully, it is on Amazon Prime (albeit for £5). But well worth it. love this movie. Anyway, I have drink and snacks and am ready to get into the movie. I've seen jousting. Was a short joust in the cathedral grounds in my local city centre about a decade back. Was the first time there'd been a joust in a city centre in something like 400 years (might've been more like 200). Ok, so I remember from the making of why they used rock music for this... simply that it's kind of how it would've sounded to them back in the day... the music of the time would be like rock music is now (or was in 2001). One thing that made me chuckle early on... The shield with the stag on it dropped on Mark Addy's foot. Almost foreshadowing for Game of Thrones. I mean that shield could've had any sigil on it.

2023-07-08 04:49:49 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you watched and enjoyed this movie! This is one of my favorite movies and It makes me happy to see someone else enjoying it
Andrew Roberto
2023-07-08 04:33:22 +0000 UTCSecond this!
Slick447
2023-07-08 04:17:57 +0000 UTCThis is a great movie. I was sad when I saw it lost on the poll last time, but I'm glad you still watched it and enjoyed it. I would love to see your reaction to the movie Baby Driver. That movie also has a great soundtrack to it. I think you would really enjoy it.
Daniel Brown
2023-07-08 03:23:32 +0000 UTCYeah, Chaucer was basically the first Great English Writer, and his Canterbury Tales are pretty much required reading for any English Literature class.....
Chris Gronau
2023-07-08 03:15:49 +0000 UTCI havent seen anyone mention it, but there are some deleted scenes on the special edition DVD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dTGTKCioSI&ab_channel=GhostsofVermontURBEX%2FSky%27stheLimitVideos

2023-07-08 01:04:08 +0000 UTCI have seen this movie countless times over the years...AND I JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS AN END CREDIT SCENE? What the heck is wrong with me lol :p
Brent giesbrecht
2023-07-08 00:35:44 +0000 UTCYep, I think it was the first time I did the Leonardo DiCaprio-like point to the tv when I first watched this as a kid because I recently learned about Chaucer in either History or English class lol
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen #1
2023-07-08 00:20:11 +0000 UTCThis has been one of my favorite movies for ages, and I never knew it had an end credit scene! I was so excited.... and then just as disappointed as you, Nat; geez lol *facepalms
SmokeAndACoffee
2023-07-07 22:40:54 +0000 UTCCan't wait to watch this as this movie also passed by me in 2001. I had a lot of friends love it, but I just never got around to seeing it. Also, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is out on Amazon for purchase.

2023-07-07 22:39:34 +0000 UTCAh - Natalie - I LOVE that you took the executive decision to watch this! This is a fantastic movie - one that I've loved since it came out. I'm SURPRISED that you didn't recognize Chaucer's name! Kinda disappointed that you didn't Natalie. xD This is easily one of my favorites of it's sort. A period piece, I mean. Chaucer is AMAZING! I love his attitude! Paul Bettany played this role so well! I stopped writing as I watched at that point. I just wanted to enjoy the movie! xD This movie is SO MUCH FUN FOR ME! I'm a huge fan of this one. :) Now that it's over, I'm glad that you enjoyed it quite a bit as well! Everything in this was just right and perfect for this movie. Each song and set was perfect, every character and line used - perfect as well. The last few scenes of this movie get me emotional each time that I watch this. I'm not ashamed to admit that. This is the type of story that gets to me, an underdog story with a family twist to it all. As always, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next. This was a welcome surprise and I'm very happy to have watched this with you Natalie! Amazing reaction!
Logan Kerlee
2023-07-07 21:58:31 +0000 UTCThis was so much fun to watch with you for the first time. I've only seen Heath Ledger in Dark knight. And boy oh boy. Now I can understand why he had a reputation of being a little bit of a heartthrob. 😁 Great movie, great reaction. 😊

2023-07-07 21:13:25 +0000 UTC"I will eviscerate you in fiction. Every pimple, every character flaw. I was naked for a day; you will be naked for eternity." Love this movie...
Steve Mercier
2023-07-07 21:02:08 +0000 UTCI love this movie. It was my first time watching Heath Ledger, Alan Tudyk, and Paul Bettany and I've been following their work ever since.
Julian Calzada
2023-07-07 20:54:17 +0000 UTCThe only other movie I’ve seen Roland in is The Flintstones 2: Viva Rock Vegas. I’ll leave up to you to guess who he played.

2023-07-07 20:53:17 +0000 UTCI've seen this movie a hundred times and I've never seen that horrible end credit scene though. Wtf was that
Riolkin
2023-07-07 20:19:36 +0000 UTCNo problem about the poll Nat, rest your back,I don't know what you could have put against a knights tale that would get my vote anyway :)
Athenor
2023-07-07 20:10:07 +0000 UTCHi Nat, I absolutely loved this film, thanks to reacting to it as it always puts a smile on my face. Thank you for soldiering through with your back pain, just like William in the final joust.
Baggie Mark
2023-07-07 20:08:53 +0000 UTCYou need to forget to poll more often. This is a *GREAT* choice. 😁😁😁
Chris Gronau
2023-07-07 20:02:35 +0000 UTCJust so that everyone can be aware of it, since the movie only briefly references it at the end, Chaucer (Jeff) is a real-life historical literary figure who wrote The Canterbury Tales, in which the first tale is "The Knight's Tale" :)

2023-07-07 19:22:21 +0000 UTCLove this choice. RIP Mr. Ledger. I may be the only one suggesting it but I do so to every reactor I follow here or on YouTube, but if you're ever in need of another feel good movie, Blast From The Past staring the recently resurgent Brendan Frazier and Cher herself, Alicia Silverstone. IF you've seen that one, there's a quirky, off-beat rom-com staring Sarah Michelle Gellar called Simply Irresistible. Ok, I'm gonna go watch the movie now 😁
Brandon Scott
2023-07-07 19:19:50 +0000 UTCI'm a HUGE fan of this movie! It'd of had my vote one way or the other, more than likely. :) Solid pick. Getting ready to watch, here soon.
Logan Kerlee
2023-07-07 19:18:00 +0000 UTCGood choice Nat! A great movie, yet one that would be hard pressed to win a poll. A nice treat. Although since you admitted you forgot - punishment is watching Evil Dead: Rise. You have not watched a scary movie in a while.
Mastervodo
2023-07-07 18:09:28 +0000 UTCNot going to lie, I've been hoping you would do this movie ever since you started game of thrones, (since Robert Baratheon is in this movie lol). This is absolutely one of my favorite movies ever. Used to watch this with my mom and brother all the time back in the day.

Haven't seen this one but it's always being campaigned for over on discord by Eshawn, so you'll have made him a happy chappy today 😊 Such a cool movie Nat. Perfect story blend of laughs, action and heart. A lot of familiar faces and they all had their moments to shine. A lot of fun. Thanks for a really enjoyable surprise reaction today Nat, and as always, thanks for all your awesome work this week. Hope your back is on the mend. Have a brilliant weekend Nat 💛
