HWAT!

Beowulf, with Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, and Sebastian Roché. It was okay, but wouldn't have been all that great without the 3D. Which was interesting, quite so, but...not all that necessary for most movies, I think. Actually, it was a little distracting at points, I suppose. I wonder if there's a market for 3D porn, offhand. That was an unrelated tangent thought. But think of the possibilities...Anyway. The highlight of the movie for me was the little Old English they used, I love hearing archaic languages like that out loud. The story was definitely changed, but in a quite sensical way that actually made it a cohesive story, rather than the odd fragmentary nature of the original. Of course, this script was written by Neil Gaiman, so natch.

"The Romans had no word for gray. To them it was another shade of dark blue or dark green. Irish Gaelic possesses no equivalent of yes or no. They must resort to roundabout expressions such as 'I think not' and 'This is so.'"
