I ran across this the other day, and could not resist sharing it. I'm assuming that most of you are familiar with Monty Python and their iconic spoof of the legend of King Arthur, "The Holy Grail." While avid Medievalists cringe at the view of the Middle Ages popularized in movies, Monty Python manages to highlight the ridiculousness of many things--including the very narrow vision that creates those stereotypes.
This link is to a movie trailer made by Stephane Bouley. It is a movie trailer positioning Monty Python's movie as serious historical cinema, a clever move that the members of Monty Python would no doubt thoroughly applaud.
