Suitably epic (and just a little daft) *g*

[jetpack_monkey]

Just a little? *G*

[fizzyblogic]

AMAZEBALLS.

[jetpack_monkey]

Yay!

[scotlandfreak]

This is amazing.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[sage]

TEAM!! I love them. This was fun!

[jetpack_monkey]

Me too! There needs to be more Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk, and Paul Bettany being cute and snarky at each other in all the things.

[serrico]

Ha! YES. :)

[jetpack_monkey]

Glad you liked!

[dementedsiren]

YES.
THIS.

(also, William's little eye-squint right around 2:00 - PERFECT)

[jetpack_monkey]

The eye squint was the joy and bane of my betas' lives. I stand by it 100%.

[fairestcat]

squeeee! This is so perfect!

[jetpack_monkey]

Aw shucks. Thanks!

[catwalksalone]

AHAHAHA YES! It even has its own in-built 80s montage. All it needed were the power chords and you BROUGHT THEM. FAB!

[jetpack_monkey]

Power chords make everything better.

[kat_lair]

Genius combination.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[vivien]

Brilliant!!! I loved this. So much.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you! Glad you liked!

[were_duck]

So epic. Awesome work! I love the clip of Heath Ledger's eyes on one of the later 'Eye of the Tiger' lines, that made me laugh and pump my fist in the air.

[jetpack_monkey]

Yay fist-pumping!

[franzeska]

The most accurate summary ever seen!

I am cackling and fistpumping still.

[jetpack_monkey]

I enjoy writing summaries. And I hate it. I'm glad this one turned out.

[briar_pipe]

It's true! And so, so apt. (But the real secret is, there's no such thing as "too late" for this genre.)

Brilliantly vidded in the classic style!

[jetpack_monkey]

That's completely fair. They're still making 1980s sports movies to this day, aren't they?

[ladysorka]

YES. You have just expressed all of my feelings about that movie.

[jetpack_monkey]

Woot!

[scintilla10]

This is fantastic!

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[sophia_gratia]

Hilarious. Amazing. Hilarimazing. ♥

[jetpack_monkey]

Man, I'm causing folks to combine words. I must be onto something!

Eye of the Tiger

[yourlibrarian]

Ha, accurate summary! Love the eye squint near the end.

Re: Eye of the Tiger

[jetpack_monkey]

The eye squint is my very favorite thing I did in the whole vid. Thank you, Heath Ledger, for that wonderful gift.

[acari]

*bursts out laughing* That was inspired.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[banah]

YES.

JUST.

YES.

[jetpack_monkey]

*G*

[cold_river_blue]

Oh man, this movie is such a guilty pleasure and the song just makes it that much better. Love.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

[thirdblindmouse]

Hee! Epic indeed.

[jetpack_monkey]

I love your icon. And thanks!

[bedlamsbard]

Delightful! And so much fun.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[gwenfrankenstien]

You're right, this is exactly the kind of movie A Knight's Tale knows it wants to be! Amazing!

[jetpack_monkey]

Aw, thank you!

[colls]

EPIC!!!

I freaking love this.

[jetpack_monkey]

Yay!

[bessyboo]

This is SO PERFECT, omg. YESSSSSSS ♥
