OH THANK FUCK I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SO.
His knives! His archery! HIS DEATH OMG :'(
Edit: also, he is a bit gruff, and doesn't really care about going home, but relishes KILLING THINGS, and he is TRUSTED and can throw knives dead on other thrown knives AND TWINCE I LOVE HIM.
ME TOO, MEISH, ME TOO. Which is why I've seen this film far more times than it deserves, it being the pile of shit that it is. THE KNIGHTS. I love Tristan most, but all of them, really, Gawain's little face and Lancelot's ridiculous double swords. JOY, SUCH JOY. +++ MADS MIKKELSEN. I was so thrilled when he was cast in Casino Royale. HE NEEDS TO BE IN MORE THINGS.
(edit to remove footnote referring to something that was cut from this comment. I'm not altogether articulate at this stage.)
So, I now own this film on iTunes and it is entirely possible that I listen to/watch my favourite bits at work? Maybe? Like: Lancelot wanting to fuck everyones wives; Tristan talking about his knife skills; ARCHERY IN THE SNOW; Lancelot and Arthur's quasigay ("Why do you always speak to [god] but never to me?!" "You are my most trusted"etc.)
Mostly I like looking at Tristan. Oh god, and Gawain's funny laugh! Darling wee lad Galahad (omg, Dancy, ALWAYS BE BEARDED)! OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.
DID I MENTION I LOVE TRISTAN? (That last cap up top? One of my favourite moments. Ohhhhhh.)
Things that I do when I am low: rewatch the scene before Arthur tells them about their one final mission where Gawain, Galahad and Tristan are playing 'darts' with their knives and Tristan throws his squarely onto Galahad's. Gawain is all, shit, how'd you do that? And Tristan says one of my favourite lines of the film: I just aim for the middle. OH GOSH OH GOSH OH GOSH.
