I think I recognize one of the scenes from the European Commission film! Breaking the Waves was a movie we took up in Philosophy of Religion. :p

How interesting that Breaking the Waves is used in a religion class. I love that movie.

At times like this, my love of Europe reaches unreasonable proportions.

Take me, EU, I'm yours.

*fans self* Oh my. Why was he wanking? Was it some kind of royal insemination thing? Or was catching the king's spooge just something the valet did when the Henry couldn't have his lady of choice?

Also, the European clips (YAY!) remind me of something I read once, I think about Sir John Gielgud. He was touring around on a speaking engagement after also touring in a production of Romeo & Juliet, and at one point the audience was allowed a Q & A. Someone stood up and asked, "Did Romeo and Juliet enjoy a full physical relationship?" He paused a long time and appeared lost in thought. Then he answered, "They certainly did in the Chicago company."

My friend wondered why Henry 8 couldn't just get someone to fuck, he's the king after all. Maybe masturbation is faster, maybe this is another way for the show to give the audience some JRM skin. I'm fine with it.

Sir John is hilarious. I weep for the audience member's reading comprehension skills though.
