TODAY IS: St. George's Day, a feast in celebration of the birth of the patron saint of England -- George was famed as a dragonslayer, though accounts disagree on precisely how and where he slew his dragon. Michael Palin is a sort of St. George wannabe in 1977's JABBERWOCKY, a Monty Python romp in which Palin's peasant is reluctantly caught up in the hunt for the dragon Jabberwocky, which is trashing a silly medieval kingdom.
