And Yet I Still Watch It.

Just to be clear, Knight's Tale, with Heath Ledger, really is one of the worst movies of the last 10 years. It's got a strange plot, all sorts of references that were undoubtedly included in the script after buying the writers some Maui Wowee, and the acting is...well, it's sub-par.

But it's like a train wreck. Not in the "kills dozens of people in horrible and interesting manners" kind of way, but more in the "let's all stare at the disaster laid out for our enjoyment" kind of way.

The damndest thing, though, is that it's got these moments of brilliance. Sort of like me on a golf course - there are signs that yeah, this could be a good thing in the long run, then it reverts to taking 35 strokes to get out of one fairway bunker. But those moments of brilliance - it's like George Burns smiling down on me, that's how funny parts of this movie are.

By the way: rent Scoop, with Woody Allen and Scarlett Johannson. It's probably Woody's best comedy since Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask.
