Casting Call: The Search For The Holy Grail

[Khadgar]

if you came here looking for a valaint quest for the grail, then don't try here. this is the MONTY PYTHONS: the quest for the holy grail. this is a silly quest. if you haven't seen the movie then i'm not sure how to explain it.... think of the quest, and then make it as stupid as possible. i'm not sure who i'll play. if i had a choice Tim! but he doesn't have a great role in the story...

 

[Roughneck]

Yessss, count me in. I would love totake part in this. Question though, are we going by the movie, or makeing our own shit up???

 

[crysede]

Ooooooo, I am so in!!! Same question as Roughneck though: are we usurping Monty's characters, or coming up with our own?

 

[Khadgar]

good questions

i think we could go with MP's charechters, and this is a bit GENERALLY stick to the story, but if we do it by the book it's bound to get boring. so i think we'll use the story line as something like a general line. like how things occur. if you know what i mean. Arthur will go and see the french castle, and arthur will meet the nights, and robin will come across the three headed giant, but other than that, wing it

 

[Roughneck]

Good deal, I can work with that. Just one more thing, I was thinking, in the movie you have the main knights, and their stories, I was wondering, can we add a few more knights to the story, have a few killer names I'd kike to use.

 

[crysede]

I'd like to play some bit parts if that would work (the local shrubbery salesman, the odd peasant, a rude French knight or two, monks and/or nuns, etc...), or, if you'd prefer I play a main role, I'd like to be Sir Robin.

 

[PmTick]

I'm in, I want to come up with my own knight though. I have to watch the movie again as well.

 

[Roughneck]

God just talking about this movie has made me want to watch it again. So after watching the movie today, for like the 100th time, Im feeling quite silly. I was wondering, it would be a hoot to do the village scene with burning the Witch, espacialy if we add a few of our own lines. God I was laughing my ass off when Arthur was fighting the Black Knight. " I cut your bloody arm off " Ahhh, tiss mearly a flesh wound" LOL.

 

[Khadgar]

sure crysede, you play little roles, or robin, or both if you want lol i would like to be one of the frenchmen, have some good english roasting lol. and new charechters are fine, but try not to make them serious. you know how the movie works.

 

[PmTick]

Ok here's an idea for a knight i'm kicking around:

Sir Eric Come Again

Sir Eric, though a noble knight, was cursed with a tounge which is too big for his mouth. This poses a problem to all who speak to Sir Eric because he tends to mumble incessintly. He tries to carry around a scroll with him to write down his words but he often forgets it.

 

[Khadgar]

LOL thats great! nice one PM, damn!

 

[Roughneck]

The Char I wanted to play as a Knight would be modled after Fat Bastard, from the Austin Powers movie. I can see it now, when Arthur tells them to attack the rabbit, Fat bastard would be saying something along this line. " Oh, kill the wee rabit, well hell I can"t, I have a crap on deck and If I move I shit my armor" Then he looks at Sir Robin, " What ya looking at , ya baby. . . .mmmm baby, come here ya pansy, I want to eat yaaaa" In witch ya Sir Robin starts running away saying " Run Away.. . .Run Away" Just a rough idea of what I was looking to do.

 

[Magister]

Sir Bedevere

I would like to join in as the wise Sir Bedevere, adjudicator of witch trials...

Sir Bedevere and the witch

 

[Magister]

Oh yes, I will also devote considerable time and effort to the most stirring portrayal ever of the most important character in the film, the aptly-named Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film!

Yay! I'm so glad someone will be playing him, I really think the film's whole narrative pivots around his character.

You forgot the bit about my faithful minstrel following me singing: "Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away. When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out, bravely taking to his feet. He beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin."

 

[Roughneck]

Ahhh good point Crysede, but if my memory serves me correct, during that scene of the movie, with the killer rabbit, the Minstrel had been eaten already by the party. Maybe what ya could do is hire a famous singer to take his place, like Madonna. I can see it know, Sir Robin saying " Yeah she a bit expenseive, but she has a nice set of tits"

 

[crysede]

Oh please, what a waste of money that would be: you guys would be eating her in no time!

 

[Roughneck]

Ok, how about Elton John???

 

[crysede]

Ooooo, now there's an idea: "Goodbye brave Sir Robin, though I never wanted to know you at all, you had the strength to turn and run while those around you fought on. Seems to me, that you lived you life like a brave knight in retreat, never knowing who to run from when gallantly wimping out..." *wiping away a tear* God, that song is just so moving!

 

[Khadgar]

.... you guys are insane LOL this is good stuff. i suppose if we're changing the story line a bit i could bring Tim in earlier hmm?

"his bowels removed and his nostrils raped and his arms chopped off and ect ect"

 

[Magister]

I do insist on one VITAL change in the script... Sir Bedevere should be the one to investigate Castle Anthrax, not Galahad the Pure, or Lancelot the Gay (no, I'm not!). After all, Sir Bedevere knows all about how to use sheep's bladders to prevent... things.

 

[crysede]

After all, Sir Bedevere knows all about how to use sheep's bladders to prevent... things.

*looking at Magister innocently* Prevent things? Well, I guess they do prevent incontinence in sheep.

 

[Magister]

And an incontinent sheep is a dangerous sheep! The only thing more dangerous is a clever sheep.... Like Harold over there, trying to learn how to fly.

Generally, sheep do not fly so much as plummet, but imagine the enormous commercial possibilities if they should succeed!

Hmmmm,... *unsuccessfully trying to imagine commercial possibilities of flying sheep*

 

[Khadgar]

i can see the flying sheep, i mean someone came up with flying toasters, why are sheep so hard? *grins* oh oh, i want to be the rabbit! thats so me. lol unless that been called by you crysede? and whre ar all the other players!!! come on people
