Gratuitous Llama Netflix Movie Review

Yellowbeard.jpg

Well, as my time of enforced rebachelorhood winds down, I'm taking advantage of one of my last few remaining evenings to watch a movie I've never seen before - Yellowbeard.

The cast looks interesting in a don't-cross-the-streams way, a mix of Pythons such as Graham Chapman, John Cleese and Eric Idle, together with a number of veterans of Mel Brooks movies such as Peter Boyle, Madeline Khan, Marty Feldman and Kenneth Mars, with some others thrown in as well. For instance, I see that Cheech and Chong are in this film, although I'm not sure that argues to its advantage. On the other hand, I've liked Michael Hordern ever since he played Senex in A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. So we'll see.

I'll post my impressions here after the fact.

UPDATE: Two words - Don't bother.

Sixteen more words: Why does Netflix carry this waste of celuloid yet still does not have Eric the Viking?

Maybe if enough of us request Erik the Viking, they will buy a copy.
