The Kingdom of Krull

Last night, the Tall One came to a realization about he and I's relationship:

"We always do the things high people do...but we're never high."

The Tall One is very amusing. He makes me laugh all the time - even when I don't want to.

Apparently eating Sherbert while watching Krull and acting out a Samurai-Ninja relationship is what high people do.

As you have now realized, last night we watched Krull - the epic renaissance-themed, sci-fi "hit" that he just had to have. If you haven't seen it, you should...but only when you're under the influence of lots of drugs.

In a nut shell, two kingdoms unite to defeat "the Beast" that lives with his henchmen in a rock-formation-but-really-made-of-iron castle that disappears every morning and relocates to some cooler part of the planet. The Beast busts up Lissa and the new King's wedding and steals Queen Lissa before they can finalize their vows by Lissa setting new King's hand on fire. The Beast intends to marry the queen, and new King sets out to find his woman. He gets help from the old guy who comes out of the mountain, a cyclops, some robbers (including Liam Neeson) and a magician who turns himself into a basset-hound puppy, among other things. They ride some "fire mares" (aka. draft horses with computer generated flames coming out of their feet) across the planet and a ravine (think E.T. bikes in the sky style.) They break into the castle and find the queen who finally gives her flame to new King that seals their matrimony and new King starts throwing his flame everywhere, blowing shit up and kills the beast. The rock/iron castle disappears and they all live happily ever after.

The Tall One thinks that is how all marriage ceremonies should be conducted. I laughed...really hard.

I gave him one last ninja jab to the neck and went to bed. He gave me a samurai punch and watched all the special features.

The Tall One is very amusing.

There were no computers making flames in 1983, those were real and roto- scoped!
