A brief rant.
Aug. 1st, 2007 12:22 amSo. I just saw the Beowulf trailer.
Right then.
I would just like to say that DAMGRENDEL is NOT some WATERY TART! And she CERTAINLY doesn't look like FRELLING LARA CROFT!!!
Seriously, the kindest translation of the term that describes her, aglaecwif, is Seamus Heaney's, "monstrous hell bride."
RassingfrassingdirectorsthinkingwiththeirgonadsthrowingfidelitytothetexttothewindjusttogetawetnakedAngelinaJolieonscreen...
Incidentally, I got a dress last Friday at David's. I went with Dress #4.
Anyway, I mean, yes, the initial battle between Beowulf and Damgrendel is in the water, but the trailer looks like some stupid Arthurian knock off! Gah!
What's worse is that now I shall have to see this movie so that I can intelligently rant about it.
Edit: Yes, I know there's argument about the term, and that many have argued that Damgrendel is a noble warrior lady. Still bears the mark of Cain. Still mother to a monster. Still not cool and probably not very sexy! Humph.
