Before I saw “Lion in Winter,” (an AMAZING movie with Peter O’Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, and Timothy Dalton, among others) I witnessed two slightly drunk men, a history professor and an english professor, laughing uncontrollably as they tossed quotes from the movie of each other. I saw it as soon after as I was able, and still remember the mirth in their voices and tried to capture if here.
I’ve had a similar experience, only it was a history prof, an English prof, and “A Knight’s Tale.” Surely as perfect a film for burned-out ’70s humanities students to rock out to as exists today.
