Glory, Lust, Betrayal! The basic ingredients for a blockbuster. No wonder Hollywood churns out a remake of King Arthur & Court’s story every 2 years or so.
Lancelot was tall, dark and handsome, and chicks fell for him like he was George Clooney. Still, that didn’t deter Arthur from making him his most trusted knight and his own wife’s champion, appointed to serve her (and eventually service her) 24/7. Lancelot fell for his queen before he could say “Camelot”, and their torrid affair is the stuff of medieval legends. Funny fact, according to some early prose—not nearly as popular as Malory’s “Le Morte D’Arthur”—Lancelot was much younger than Guinevere, with his birth taking place even later than her marriage to King Arthur. That would make Guinevere the Demi Moore of her time. And wait, that would also make Lancelot an armored version of Ashton Kutcher. Now, hold on a minute; that means that Bruce Willis is King Arthur! Hey, is that a new remake we smell? “The Queen Cougar And The Knight Toy” perhaps?
