I am absolutely disgusted....

[China Doll]

at all the things they keep putting in front of the naked (and exceptionally digitally enhanced) Ray Winston in Beuwulf.... If I'd wanted this lack of clarity and insight in to a true hero, I'd have read the damn book again.

Disgraceful.

[dotty.]

does he have a London accent in it as I think Beuwulf was Welsh wasn't he?

[dotty.]

hang on wasn't that the dog actually?

[China Doll]

He's a nakked dog?! Now there's a twist I didn't see come coming!

[dotty.]

I 've never seen it or read it but I'm sure my kids did the story at school, oh hang on no, that was bedgelhert maybe lol

[craft1948]

is that the geezer?

[China Doll]

If the geezer is wearing a loin cloth and fighting nakked then yeah.... sounds about right.

it was all a bit Austin Powers, wasn't it, the first one and that scene with Liz Hurley

[China Doll]

Oh yeah, I remember that.... It was a bit yes. Bewulf was one of my favourite stories we got read when I was a kid, I think I'm going to have to read it again, I can't remember if the book and the film were much alike, I don't remember Grendal's mum being a hottie... Although that said, I was probably about 9 when it was read to me, it's possible Mrs Anastasia may have edited some of it out!

monstrous hell bride, says Heaney. But apparently there's a lot of debate about this

perhaps aglæca is a mistranscription of angelæna

[China Doll]

So there is... I thought I remembered her being uglier than Grendal the way I was told it... MInd you, all this literature stuff this morning, think I need to go back to Invincibles DVD and murder mystery books, I prefer being dumbed down!
