Does Water Jousting Need Enforcers?
I mean… the answer is pretty clearly yes. Don’t get me wrong. These two jousters were definitely playing by the rules here. But without any enforcers out there to make sure that everybody plays within the rules, what’s to stop some chicken shit pigeon from driving one of those lances into the other jouster’s dome? Can’t be having guy taking head shots in water jousting without suffering some consequences. At least that’s what my grandfather always used to say.
Anyhoo, the real reason why I wrote this blog is because I wanted to remind everybody about how great of a movie “A Knight’s Tale” was.
Heath Ledger. Robert Baratheon. Steve the Pirate. Shannyn Sossamon. This movie had it all. And remember when Heath Ledger finds his dad but turns out he’s blind but the father can still tell that it’s Heath Ledger? What a fucking moment, huh? Real tear jerker of a scene. I don’t know, man. I know that The Joker was probably Heath Ledger’s most notable character. But for my money, Sir Ullllllllllrich von Liechtenstien will always go down as his best character. Quality flick that doesn’t get nearly the amount of recognition it deserves. Might even have to throw it on tonight. We need more jousting movies.
