The Green Knight (2021)

[Relayer1]

And BTW, I loved the Relayer album back in the '70s. We used to listen to Wakeman's King Arthur album non-stop in my friend's basement.

I'm having a strop at the moment. They were supposed to play all of Relayer on the tour that's been postponed two or three times - I've been waiting 40 years to see it performed.

They've now decided to play Close To The Edge instead as its it's 50th anniversary.

I'm both furious and off topic !

The only thing that bothered me about Excalibur was the full suits of 16th century armor in the 6th century. Chrome plated! You can play spot-the-film-crew in the reflections. Otherwise, it's one of my all-time favorite fantasy films.

I mentioned Wakeman's Arthurian work to keep in on topic a little bit. Much of it was brilliant. From what I read, the Ice-Capades performance was a farcicle.

I took my (now ex-wife) to see the Masterworks tour where they played all of side one (Gates of Delirium). At one point, she leaned over and asked me if it was a medley or just one long song. LOL.

as for The Green Knight.. I tried.. I really tried to watch it but couldn't stay with it. I found if just too plodding.

Does it just follow the Arthurian story where it’s all a moral purity test for Gawain?

For the most part, yes, but done in an unique manner (trying to keep it vague).

Yeah, they dropped Gates for the Birmingham show. My mates pretty much had to drag me out of the theatre afterwards.

hell of a medley though !

I watched it a second time recently with friends and it was even better, everyone asking questions, offering insights as to imagery and meaning and theme and our own lives.

He did a new recording a few years back adding extra tracks that weren't possible to include when the original was released.

Unlike the re-recording of Journey to the Centre of The Earth, I don't think that new material really works.

Also as has gotten mention a few times in here I'd love to see an adaption of Bernard's Cornwall's Warlord trilogy take on the Arthurian legend.

And put me down as some-one else who loved Robin of Sherwood though had to watch the beginning (we had it taped) a few times before I got into. There was also a fullcast audio with actors from the series released a couple of years back as wrap up.

Maybe now that The Last Kingdom is almost done, they could do the Warlord trilogy now.

though it might be seen as a bit close thematically for them to go ahead.

then again with prequels and sequels on tv that might not matter anyway.

Incidentally The Lost Kingdom is based on a series of books by the same author.
