The View From Kalamazoo

Ooooh! A Beowulf movie! Never fear, this one actually looks promising (no forks! Swords appear sword-sized – not those overly-theatrical bastard-swords larger than the typical bastard by at least a hand and a half!)…gorgeous, at least.

We’ll see. It doesn’t star Antonio Banderas and was filmed in an appropriate locale…could be a very good signs, indeed.

(I admit I’m excited. I suppose this is another sign that I should have gone into Anglo-Saxon lit, since I was, and remain, so very fond of the stuff. Clearly I’ve never been very good at taking hints…)
