Belligerent Rejectamenta

Widge: As long as it’s not a serious film. You cannot have a serious film featuring knights riding flying ostriches.
At least I can’t take it seriously. But that might be a failing of my own. I admit that.

Doc: I have no doubt someone will try to make a serious fantasy action epic out of it. Lots of dramatic music, CGI aerial combat scenes, and no doubt a love story arc. And no, I expect few to take it seriously.

Widge: If it’s a love story arc between two of the ostriches, that would work.
In fact, it should be an animated film where the lead characters are actually the ostriches.

Doc: Now that I might actually watch.,

Widge: They’re the brains. The knights they need because they can’t carry lances. Goddammit, I’m coming up with a good Joust movie. Hit me with something. HIT ME WITH SOMETHING.

Doc: And because it lets them settle their tribal differences without getting killed. The knights are the only ones in danger. We are mere pawns in their elaborately violent political games.

Widge: And the B story arc is that humans should have rights and are not mindless idiots.

HIT ME ALREADY. HIT. ME.

Doc: Perfect. Get Pixar on the phone.

Widge: HIT ME WITH THE PHONE. AHHHHH!!!!
