hi John, due to unfelicitous previous lifetime, any occasion wherein the words monks, murder and Middle Ages appear together, I seek other entertainment. However I did find a good synopsis of the tale online, though in true Gemini fashion read it very quickly and thus missed the vital part about laughter being a sin. Thank you for supplying that and sorry for both my dimwittedness and hastiness, what a combination! I know it's no fun to have to explain a post thus using another post, like that like that. Anyhoo I admit to you that I am once again tempted to watch this movie but I'm guessing it's a bit gory what with the Inquisition being a subtext, murders being the main events, etc. As for laughing being a sin, I'm not sure. But if you laugh at Death, you're a goner for sure (-:

The character (that Sean Connery was playing) was in a hot pursuit of the murderer of the monks in the monastery. It turned out that the culprit was the old blind abbot who poisoned the pages of an ancient book of comedy. Why? Because the old abbot believed that laughing was a sin. I just thought that you may have seen the movie. But you can probably see the application of the movie plot here on FFL with this particular thread. :) JR --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > Oy, another cryptic man! Recommending a movie about a whole monastery of > cryptic men! Ah, time for the Dome, cryptic women (-: > Hey John, worried about Mars Ketu coming up in June, I had a reading with > Bill Levacy. His prediction: accelerated (Mars) stable (Saturn) expansion > (Guru). I have seen this movie in the library but Sean Connery, as cute as > he is, was not inspiration enough to induce me to borrow. > > Thanks for good wishes. > > > > ________________________________ > From: John <jr_esq@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Saturday, April 6, 2013 3:19 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: HITLER'S VALENTINE > > >  > Share, > > The message that you seek is in this film.
