ReplyDeleteMy English teacher obviously didn't watch Excalibur before showing it to her classroom of ninth graders...in a Catholic school. Not surprisingly, she wasn't teaching there the following year. Of course, maybe it was her plan to get fired...although, I'm kind of doubting it since she pronounced the "W" in sword.
ReplyDeleteVery insightful. Actually made me think and try to recall some of those movies. I actually did remember a few of them.

Margaret-- Eff birds. They all suck. Except for the delicious ones.
