Movie Night #65: Robin Hood Men in Tights -:- Monday, October 08, 2007
Ah, another great Movie Night. Great people, great fun. It's a pitty that I was so exhausted that I couldn't stay up later, and I've talked about trying to stop scheduling activities on Saturday mornings with Laura so we're able to stay up later. I understand that the group went to Steak and Shake afterwards for a much later night than I had - which is amazing, because I had been craving Steak and Shake that very morning.
Movie Night 65: Robin Hood Men in Tights (1993) Director: Mel Brooks Cast: Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis, Roger Rees, Amy Yasbeck, Dave Chappelle, Isaac Hayes, Patrick Stewart Plot: Robin (Elwes) returns from the Crusades to find that his castle has been reposessed due to not paying back taxes, his family is all gone (including his pets), and his blind servant Blinkin helps him form a band of merry men to fight the evil Sherrif of Rottingham (Rees) and the King's brother Prince John (Lewis). And what Robin Hood story would be complete without a Maid Marian (Yasbeck)? Robin's friend Ahchoo (Chappelle) also helps to train and rally the troops in this hilarious parady of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Mel Brooks is at his best with this flick, showcasing everything that makes his tongue-in-cheeck humor appealing to the masses, and with a sing-along session (well, I sang and was dancing) of the song "We're Men...We're men in tights", this was probably one of the most fun Movie Nights that we've had in a while. I'd like to do more sing-along Movie Nights down the road, perhaps a Buffy the musical or Rocky Horror Picture Show.... Upcoming announcements: October 10: Kelly's Body Shop Party October 12: Laura's sister's wedding rehersal, Lauren's Body Shop Party (unofficial movie night at her place following the Body Shop event) October 13: Laura's sister's wedding October 19: My Body Shop Party (we're having facials, everyone's invited - bring friends, and RSVP so I can provide food), Movie Night 66 (which may take place at Necto for Erin and Allison's anniversary) October 26: Movie Night 67 (Halloween themed) October 27: Halloween Party (please RSVP, bring booze, and let me know in advance if you think you're going to need to stay the night. Also, bring a pillow if you plan to stay). Other than that, be sure to check out my two comics on Drunk Duck: The Temple of a Thousand Tears: The Definitive Edition (updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday) @$$hole!
