Short version: I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make it possible for me to enjoyably extract 95% of the meat of THE GREEN KNIGHT without difficulty. …Your mileage may vary.

Huh. I actually have more than one movie that I want to see on Monday.
THE GREEN KNIGHT and JUNGLE CRUISE – and if that doesn’t illustrate how weird my tastes in films are, I don’t know what would. Admittedly, I heard that JUNGLE CRUISE was actually too good to miss (and that THE GREEN KNIGHT was doing about as well as you’d expect a tonally accurate look at the Gawaine legend to do), so my schedule has been altered. But I have options! That’s nice.
Don’t know which one to watch first, though. Probably THE GREEN KNIGHT; the other one’s likely to hang around for a while.
Tweet of the Day, THE GREEN KNIGHT Is Gonna Slap So Hard edition.
I feel it in my water. THE GREEN KNIGHT is the kind of movie I like to see. I am down for this.
The “ZOMG This Looks INSANE” THE GREEN KNIGHT trailer.

In the Mail: THE GREEN KNIGHT RPG.
Got THE GREEN KNIGHT RPG in the mail today…
…and surprisingly it’s not a 5th ed clone of D&D. The review here is pretty accurate, as far as I can tell; I haven’t played the game, obviously, but it looks more or less right. I was struck by the work done on this. I was honestly half-expecting something a lot more derivative. Live and learn, hey?
THE GREEN KNIGHT gets new July 2021 release date.
More details here, such as they are. I’m on the record as liking the aesthetic of THE GREEN KNIGHT: to paraphrase Terry Pratchett, it’s got the look of a magic system where the flaming sword burns all the way down to the pommel. Hopefully everything’s back to normal by July, so that I can go see it in a theater.

PS: There’s also a TTRPG.
The GREEN KNIGHT… RPG?
Dunno if this is a gimmick or a go-ahead.
The difference being, a gimmick is where A24 goes I dunno, what do nerds like? Table-top games? Fine, throw one together; and a go-ahead is Psst! Make sure you earmark ten grand in the budget for a TTRPG. If anybody asks, we’ll say it’s for marketing. I could see it going either way. Also, I like the 1980s aesthetic. Guess that’s something that’s here now.
You can buy the GREEN KNIGHT TTRPG here. At thirty five bucks it’s exorbitant, but not at [INSERT GRATUITOUS SLAM OF SPECIFIC GAMING COMPANY HERE] levels. You can’t really expect Hollywood to know the markets, hey?
