awww, but flagrant anachronism is a medieval tradition! (that's just one of the reasons why making a "historically accurate" King Arthur movie is a losing game).

It's ok if you don't like it, but the anachronisms in A Knight's Tale were my favorite part of A Knight's Tale. It's like this: medieval artists painted Biblical and classical figures in contemporary clothes and settings, not necessarily because they didn't know that fashion changes over time or that the weather is different in Jerusalem than it is in France, but as an emotional shortcut to make the stories feel relevant and meaningful in the present.

The guy who made "A Knight's Tale" put "We Will Rock You" in a jousting scene not because he didn't realize Queen hadn't been invented yet, but as a stand-in for medieval music / chants that would have had the same emotional effect on medieval jousting fans as "We Will Rock You" at a contemporary sporting event, but which would leave a contemporary audience cold (because they aren't familiar with medieval music or it doesn't have the same associations for them).

Also, because it's funny. But it's a slightly smarter funny than some people realized. He's using a medieval artistic technique in a contemporary film set in the middle ages, and (IMO) it kind of works.
