- Up until the entrance of Grendel, Beowulf (2007) seems now a separated at birth foreshadow of Sims Medieval … #
- But, as much as the rest might not hold up, Crispin Glover's Grendel is still quite wonderfully evocative and sympathetic #
- Hearing Crispin Glover's Grendel cry to his m?ðor, I wonder if anyone's done a paper trying to establish a mother-Mordor link in Tolkien … #

- The 20 extra minutes of the Amadeus director's cut sure makes Salieri a lot less sympathetic; but, wow, that movie & music still so amazing #
