Fancy Movie Time #10: The Seventh Seal

On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads grab their chessboards and face down Death itself in Ingmar Bergman's contemplative, plague-ridden romp through the Middle-Ages: The Seventh Seal. Does the film's incredible cinematography and Looney Tunes slapstick make the film a Fancy Feast? Or does the bleak tone and uneven execution make it a Failure to Fancy? Either way, one thing's for sure: the plague's all around us and we're all börgdeborg.

Imagine how much more badass this movie would be if they played Warhammer 40k instead of chess

When I first read this I got “grab their cheeseboards” … and I’m just saying that’s not a BAD idea for Fancy Movie Time.
