Hwaet þe fuc?

Just came back from seeing Beowulf. They could have saved a lot of time by rolling it and 300 into one movie called LOUD NAKED GUYS GET STABBY IN MONOCHROME.

Still, bonus points for bringing back the verb "to swive."

And big huge hairy bonus points for you for managing to render your subject line in Old English with all funny letters and stuff!

saw it in 3D at the IMAX...very silly, and I'm sure not nearly as fun in 2D. B knows the poem very well and still enjoyed it...but then I liked 300 as well. Perhaps I watched Zulu too many times as a small child...

"hþf" is my new Internets phrase.

I shall not be seeing the movie. I like the original epic too much.

I did very much enjoy this review by the fantasy author Hal Duncan, who has now gone down on my list of writers to look out for.

We were in Leicester Square and saw a bunch of flaming torches and a guy in a pelt beating a drum-- we only figured out later it was the premiere of this film. There wasn't a big crowd so we waited around to see who exactly was showing up in the big black cars but we recognized no one. It was pretty surreal.

I think they ought to market the entire AngloSaxon course under that heading!

Sorry am not about much at the moment, website is doing my head in and I have the father, mother and all the little bastard offspring of All Colds.

Love and sneezes...

He was like, all, he totally swived her.
And I was like, y'know, going Nerts!
Totally.
