Asmongold stuns with his new girlfriend



If you want a solid, cheesy film that isn’t transgressive that also has a great story to it and message with inspiration, A Knights Tale is one of my absolute favorites. It has a peasant becoming a Knight, but it hits even at the beginning something I find quite profound, where Will says “How did the Nobles become Noble? They took it, at the point of the sword!” It’s not about overthrowing the old order or remaking the world. It’s about a man coming into it, with his ambition, his skill, his opportunities and taking as much as he can to achieve what he wants and changing his own destiny. And then, the way in which he becomes legitimized is the chivalric Knightly virtues he displays in interacting with the Prince of England who rewards him by truly knighting him when he is shown to be a fraud. But it isn’t about how this order and this world is bad, but a man coming into it. And it’s just very fun overall, with a much more hopeful showing of the Middle Ages. It’s great, would highly recommend. Just a fun movie with a good story that appeals to the basic heroism that inspires. Becoming a Knight, engaging in the sport and the jousts, making something of yourself in the world, getting the girl and beating your enemies. Fantastic film.


Day 2 update, continued… The state’s first witness, the father of the child, testified that the child was actually 9 years old at the time of the incident. Not 5, not 8. He further testified that he wears a police-installed ankle monitor because the child runs off 2–3 times per day and must be held by the hand at all times.
