Holy god what an awful movie So me and mei and her med school posse saw Tristan and Isilde tonight (we got to go for free and it was close by). I HIGHLY recommend this movie, just don't pay much money to see it. It was amazingly awful. This movie is the best so-bad-it's-funny movies of our time. It wasn't just the acting or the lack of romantic chemistry. It was the plotholes that really made the film. When it comes out on video, we have to play the T&I drinking game where you drink every time you see a plothole.

For example:

Some guy: The moon is full. It is tradition in our clan to ride when the moon is full. Let us ride.

Segway to riding scene: closeup of 2/3 full moon.

Me: Throws up hands in disbelief


Example #2: *SLIGHT SPOILER* (still fairly early in the movie though)

Tristan is thought to have died in battle. They send him out to see on a funeral raft. His clan is victorious and kills most of the enemies but sends a few off to the king as messengers (right after Tristan's funeral).

Tristan floats across the English channel, the king's daughter finds him, nurses him back to health, and they supposedly develop romantic feelings for each other (despite the utter lack of chemistry).

Messengers then arrive and Tristan flees so as not to be caught by the king's men.

My question: how did a dead guy drifting on a raft make it to the same place as the messengers not only before them, but ahead of them by enough time to fully heal and develop a love that would last the rest of the movie?!

There are plenty more, but I don't want to spoil this terrible terrible movie for the rest of you.  posted by issek @ 22:32
