The New Beowulf movie.
leave for no raisin:
I had to read it three (THREE!) times during college. FUCK GRENDEL AND HIS STUPID ARM.
Liz:
I have not taken English in college yet, nor do I plan on it. Hooray for reading what you want!
Jimmy the Squid:
I haven't read it but I know my mythology well enough to have a basic idea of what the story will be. Having seen posters for this movie put up at my local cinema over the last few weeks and also having watched the trailers I can safely say that I am going to see this film. I just wish they had someone that wasn't Angelina Jolie in it. I can't fucking stand that woman.
jimbunny:
Did y'all read the Seamus Heaney translation? Am I the only one who thought it was cool?
Personally, I thought the whole animation thing looked like crap from the trailer - too plastic. I might see it, though, because of Neil Gaiman. It looks more like a reinterpretation than a faithful retelling.
imapiratearg:
That translation is sitting in my back pack right now. We just finished it. Now my class is reading a book from Grendel's point of view. It's very existential, apparently.
