Beowulf and Grendel



Beautiful landscapes, good actors, intense story and wonderful fantasy right out of the 10th century A.D.

The great warrior Beowulf is called to help the King of Daneland to defeat Grandel, the troll who kills his men. But Beowulf, being more than a mean killing machine, wants to find out want is behind Grendel's mission of revenge. With the help of the local witch, he uncovers the bloody past of the Dane's king and the troll...

Gerard Butler plays Beowulf, the Geat warrior, and you really buy it. He has shown his talent as the Phantom of the Opera as well as the traitor in Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
The whole thing seems very real. The dialogues make sense and seem possible, there are no ultimate bad guys, that are responsible for everything bad on earth anyway, and the costumes are good too. I'm no historian, but as long as not all the Norse folk have helmets with horns on them, I'm satisfied.

The pants that wouldn't die


Today I considered the possibility that I during the night, I had fallen in some kind of wormhole that transported me into another dimension or timeframe. I was in the city, minding my own business, when this woman sat down on a bench across of me. Not only was she wearing a indigo jeans jacket with light blue jeans pants, but her hair was cut in a semi-short bob with blond mèches in it. For I minute there I thought I was in the nineties. It was horrible. I mean, I heard of temporal regression of the fashion sense in the suburbs (meaning that in the suburbs, people are behind in time when it comes to fashion or even going backwards) , but this was like an episode of Twilight Zone. I looked around and discovered a Johnny Depp alias Jack Sparrow poster, which told me I was still in the 21st century.I can tell you, it was a relief. I'm not sure if I could have handled living in the nineties again.
Still entagled in the thoughts about the fashion crimes of the nineties, a pair of dying pants walked by me.(Of course they didn't walk all by themselves, a woman was wearing them). They were cut and bruised all over. There were places where the jeans had been meanly sliced, and places where someone had made the colour go away by rubbung them against a rough surface. Again and again they had been soaked into poisonous liquids, that robbed them of their once so royal blue.
I knew who had done that, because the sicko who was responsible had written his name on the victim in big letters: Armani. What kind of a sick person does that to a pair of jeans? I know, there are a lot of them out there, who do this to innocent jeans every day. But ask yourself, how sick do you have to be to pay for that? And not a little sum. No, you pay for an artwork there. The loon who does that sees himself as an artist, and art has it's price.
Those jeans are marked for life, living with scars that will never let them forget. Every day, they have to fight, they have to be strong, because if they aren't, they will die. They will burn.
I admire them for their strenght, and curse the wrongdoers who commited those horrible crimes.
