Re: Beowulf

I actually am interested in this...

Only thing that really irks me is Anglina (spelling?) Jolie. Ugh.

Re: Beowulf

I'm surprised Hollywood made a CG movie that doesn't involve talking/singing/dancing animals.

Re: Beowulf

I'm interested only really to see how far it strays from the poem, I don't expect it to be good.

Re: Beowulf

It probably strays a whole lot.

Early reviews are surprisingly positive - especially for the IMAX 3D version - so I may check this out.

I second the man. The poem ****** me off with the incredibly old English that I could barely comprehend. I don't a movie adaption to to the same thing...however, Duel, feel free to tell us what you thought.

Red Dragon: Angelina Jolie.

Re: Beowulf

I saw it earlier this morning in 3D.

It's pretty damned good.

Re: Beowulf

Whooooheee.

And...er...Angelina Jolie....(spelling?)

I had to hold my bladder for at least 20min. YIKES.

Re: Beowulf

The plot of the novel Beowulf in about eleven seconds:


WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! You've been warned.


*** SPOILERS ***


The world is Pagan.

Man meets monster.

Man kills monster.

Man brags a lot, and grows older.

Man meets monster's mother.

Man kills monster's mother.

Man is humble. Man becomes king, and grows older.

Man meets dragon.

Man kills dragon, but is mortally wounded in the fight.

Man says goodbye to his trusted ally.

The world is Christian.


*** END SPOILERS ***





Actually not such a bad read at all, just that its historic importance far surpasses its literary worth.

Also, they actually created a movie a long time ago, I think it was based loosely on Beowulf, called The 13th Warrior. Mediocre at best, but really funny in that people were walking around slicing each others' heads off for no apparent reason.

(I liked 13th Warrior.)

Re: Beowulf

I just want to watch TV without it popping up every commercial with the guys shouting " I AM Beowulf!". Yeah... we get it.

I threw this together to use as a sig but it turned out too crappy.
