M. P. and the Holy Grail


I agree with the posters who said it reminded them of S. King's "Misery" but it also made me think of the scene in MP and the HG with Michael Palin at the nunnery with the neon Grail sign on the roof, where they are all fighting over who gets to "attend" to him.

And then you must spank her. And when you've done that you must spank me! And spank me.

Yeah, I also thought about how Stephen King took a few riffs from " The Beguiled." At this point, I pretty much feel that King doesn't exactly write original plots (though it could be argued that no writer ever has) but he does put his own spin on the stuff he "steals."
