The New Beowulf movie.
Dimmukane:
I could see where Neil Gaiman's writing was in there, but the other screenwrite (avery or something like that) was comparatively awful. There was a ten-minute running gag with Beowulf being naked and being conveniently "covered" by swords, friends, dead people, candles, etc. There was a whole lot of bad jokes about having sex with women and things of a medieval nature. I'm pretty sure I would've been much happier if Neil Gaiman was the sole screenwriter.
TheFuriousWombat:
Why god, why?? The more I see/hear of this movie the more I have to restrain myself from tearing the hair out of my head in frustration. The movie looks like someone took a bunch of action figures and then decided to fuck with an essential piece of mythology until it came out looking like laughable tech demo. Bastards.

"Let's take a gorgeous piece of 1000 year-old literature, defecate on it, put it on film, and call it a movie! Oh wait, it has to star Angelina Jolie."
EDIT - (My bad.)
KharBevNor:
Beowulf is 1000 years old.
Godlol:
