      1. We watched THE KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS on Netflix about an English knight who is transported from 1334 to present-day USA at Christmas time. Given that absolutely buckwild premise, the film itself is disappointingly bland.

      They basically stop mentioning that he's from the past 15 minutes in. He's so chill about everything that he's not even a fish-out-of-water: he's a fish-going-from-one-bit-of-water-to-another. He knows how to use Netflix and an Alexa.

    Instead of a scene where they watch a livestream of the Tower of London for 30 seconds, why not write in a scene where they explain to him that he's not in England? Or where they look up everyone he ever knew on Wikipedia because they all died 700 years ago?

      The knight kept mentioning steel and, as I said to H., he wouldn't know what steel is because it wasn't introduced to England until at least 1614.
