This is what I do for entertainment

Okay, the writers' strike needs to end soon. Why? Because I just sat through Beowulf again. The one that makes no sense (post-apocalyptic medieval steampunk?), has horribly inappropriate music (techno), and acting that makes Sci-Fi's Original Movies look Oscar-worthy (is his facial expression supposed to look like that?).

Highlight of the movie (well, one of many):
"Hey, that guy in chainmail looks like a Jaffa."
"Oh god, you're right."

Later...

"Dammit, now I can't watch him without thinking 'Kree!'"

Even Later...

"Okay, Beowulf looks like he's trying to be Jack O'Neill and failing."
"I don't see it."
"Come on. Black shirt, white hair, and Grendel looks like an Unas."
*After the fight, Beowulf has on a dark olive collared shirt over the black t-shirt.*
"Okay, now he looks like Jack O'Neill"

After the movie, we looked on IMDB to find out what other things the actors, writers, and directors had done. We found out that one of the people in charge of the screenplay was also responsible for Dungeons & Dragons and the other did an episode of He-Man and the Defenders of the Universe, which explains so. much.. Also, the actor who played Grendel? Was in 3 episodes of Stargate SG-1: "Beast of Burden", "The First Ones", and "Thor's Hammer"...as an Unas.

I TOTALLY CALLED IT.
