That Heath Ledger picked the wrong one...

[Chippednailvarnishing]

I'm watching A Knight's Tale and I've always thought that he picked the wrong girl and the blacksmith was a much better catch!

[Hippee]

blankpieceofpaper extended version??? How do I get this? I always thought the film had been ridiculously edited.

[MommaGee]

Totally, Blacksmith was hotter and funnier. He just fell for the pretty rich girl.


God is have loved to have been his pretty rich girl. Fancied his since he was in SWEAT. MMMMMM Heath Ledger in Lycra...

[LassWiTheDelicateAir]

The blacksmith is the very lovely Laura Fraser whom I've had a girl crush on since she was Lady Door in Neverwhere.

Of course he should have gone for her.

[GruochMacAlpin]

IIRC the blacksmith is a fairly recent widow though, so maybe she didnt want another husband or wasn't ready for new new relationship.

has over thought this

would walk past Heath for Paul

[UsedtobeFeckless]

The bit about being on the Road To Rouen totally cracks me up even after eleventy billion watches and you're very much NBU - posh totty girl is really annoying!

[Chippednailvarnishing]

Paul Bethany outclassed everyone!

[MrsArthurShappey]

I love the little touch about the pardoner and summoner, who Chaucer did indeed eviscerate in fiction 😄

[GazingAtStars]

had it in my head that the Black Prince was the same guy who was Lord M in Victoria, but apparently not.

It's Ademar isn't it?

[GazingAtStars]

I love this film! If you haven't seen Paul bettanys speech when ulric is in the stocks...I loved him even more and so much better than the shite they actually put in the film. you're welcome!

[Trills]

Ah. it's because he was the BADDIE and I need to see this film again.

[Trills]

Yes, everybody else not sitting on a cushion!

[Rainydayspending]

The Baratheon . Obviously it was all just a romance.

[thatstoast]

I thought the blacksmith got together with the comedy chubby guy?

[blankpieceofpaper]

The extended edition is worth it!

Paul Bettany! "My lords, my ladies ... and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion!"

[JenLindleyShitMom]

I always remember thinking how stupid he was not to see what was infront of him. Glad to see I wasn't alone!

[PhilODox]

Ooh, James Purefoy looks gorgeous in this!

[Chippednailvarnishing]

Geoff Chaucer was a great character.

Rainy the blacksmith was the better love interest because she was his equal. She wasn't there for decorative purposes,.

[Rainydayspending]

Based on the olden days brilliant

[MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig]

We're watching this now. Lovely Heath Ledger. Love Paul Bettany though.

[diddl]

Absolutely agree.

Rufus Sewell

[MrsArthurShappey]

The rich one is a terrible actress who can't hide her American accent and they put her in ridiculous clothes and hair styles. I love the film but she just jars in every scene she's in.

[Trills]

Paul Bettany as Naked Chaucer!!!

[SaucyJack]

I thought this was gonna be a bitvhy thread about the Olsen twins.

Oops.

[Littlecaf]

Rainydayspending I think you're reading too much into it. It's based in the olden days so therefore they were all horny a la GOT so should have got it on immediately. Poor ending.

[NeedsAsockamnesty]

Love that film, I like the naked guy
