These stories could be very funny, if done with a slapstick Benny Hill/Carry On approach.

I didn't intend to be mean. I was just talking about the source material. Way back, when I was taking my degree in Medieval History I did a course on Chaucer's fabliaux, so I read a number of them. These are rowdy knockabout farces very much in the spirit of Benny Hill or 70s sex comedies. So if you adapt them, it should be in this spirit, and not try to make Serious Art.
It is what I like to call the Carl Orff effect. If you read the Carmina Burana, you find that they are very frivolous: about students partying, and chasing girls, or spending all their money on drink and pleading with their patron not to cut them off. Yet if you hear the orchestration of Orff, you might be forgiven for thinking that the end of the world had arrived.

.......That line is a masterpiece of meanness - I salute you!  :bouncegiggle:     It's funny 'cause it's true, too. Watching BH or CO would be more "fun" than this Pasolini arthouse movie!

The LOTR sequence was fairly long. But I did like how they handled the goodbye at the end. Hopper referencing Montauk. Robin's "weird uncle in Philly." Which, considering the Montauk project and Philadelphia Experiment, nice touches. If anything happened to Max I'd be livid.

In a just world, Principal Togar would be a Camp Icon the stature of Frank N. Furter.

George Lucas. I think he is a terrible director whose best moments were accidents.
