Well, he did.

Yes, this is a Beowulf thread. Beowulf = IDE? What do you think?

I think their attempts at milking 300 by having Beowulf yell "I. AM. BEOWULF!" is pitiful.

B E C K · « **Reply #2 on:** Nov 24, 2007, 01:03:19 PM »

Is that where that was from? I haven't seen "300" but everytime Beowulf yelled that, I felt like "Hey, some dude already yells like that but I don't know who". And it was kinda annoying. But at least he dies anyway. And that one's not a spoiler because it's not movie-specific. It's in the fricken poem. It'd be like spoiling "Hamlet".

On the bus, some chicks were talking about the movie before it was released and one of them was all:

B1: "What is Beowulf?"
B2: "You've never read it. We covered it in English."
B1: "Is that where [inaudible] and marries his mother."
B2: "I don't know."
B1: "No, no, that's Oedipus."
B2: "Yeah, yeah."
B1: "Then I don't know what Beowulf is."
B2: [explains vaguely]
B1: I want to pick up the book and read it before I go see it.

When I told Merla about this, she was just impressed they even knew who the fuck Oedipus was.

Beowulf or Hamlet? Because the guy who marries his mother is Oedipus.

Beowulf! in the trailer it seems as if Angelina Jolie is licking his ear or somethinggg

Derrick · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 26, 2007, 09:26:21 PM »

It's a CG model since her body's gone downhill.

IDE · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 26, 2007, 09:42:18 PM »

Her lips are still intact.

B E C K · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 12:24:24 PM »

Angelina plays Grendel's mother, not Beowulf's.

IDE · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 02:10:07 PM »

I bet Beowulf never had to cancel his photoshoot because he had a zit on his nose ><

B E C K · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 08:15:24 PM »

Nah, he just yelled "I AM BEOWULF" and the zit ran off.

IDE · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 08:28:00 PM »

Dumbass.

B E C K · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 09:50:57 PM »

We talked about this at school, and some guy was all "It's not really her body". It's motion capture. It's pretty fuckin' close.

MegatronYES · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 09:52:21 PM »

See? Dumbasses!

B E C K · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 09:54:24 PM »

Now I wonder how tits may have improved "The Polar Express".

Rama · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 27, 2007, 11:52:07 PM »

Tom Hanks with boobs?

It'll only work if you got Peter Scolari in it too.

B E C K · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 28, 2007, 11:13:50 AM »

I'd call that an automatic win. And he could strip during the "Hot Chocolate" song.

Merla · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 28, 2007, 01:34:33 PM »

**sings** We only have one rule!
Never ever let it cool! **sings**

LOL

B E C K · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 29, 2007, 12:05:31 PM »

That would be his cue to rip open his bra and shimmy.

Rama · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 29, 2007, 06:26:55 PM »

I'd watch that.

IDE · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 29, 2007, 06:54:54 PM »

this is polar express humor yes? I never saw it.

Bitey the Snail · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 30, 2007, 11:31:03 AM »

It's not a bad flick. Dunno if it'd be your cup of tea, but it's not bad.

IDE · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 04, 2008, 11:12:36 AM »

Ok I just saw Beowulf. I've had it downloaded on here for awhile. If I'd known how closely it resembles how I envisioned my life playing out I'd have watched it sooner.

B E C K · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 02:26:25 PM »

I told you! It totally reminded me of you! Right down to how you get pwned by your evil son at the end.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 06, 2008, 08:24:51 AM »

Illegitimate evil son?

IDE · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 06, 2008, 08:28:22 AM »

Yes, because I couldn't resist nailing a demon witch that looks like Angelina Jolie with a tail.

B E C K · « **Reply #30 on:** Feb 07, 2008, 10:05:20 PM »

Precisely!

The D · « **Reply #31 on:** Mar 23, 2008, 12:29:53 PM »

I finally saw it, and I was expecting 300 part 2 and instead I got the viking version of The Spirits Within.

What ever happened to making real sets and using real actors? The fuck is with this fake looking CG shit?

Even Angelina's body was fake!!! ;_;

B E C K · « **Reply #32 on:** Mar 23, 2008, 10:03:41 PM »

"300 part 2"? That was a rather bloated over-expectation.

Rama · « **Reply #33 on:** Mar 25, 2008, 01:14:26 AM »

I found the whole "Hide Beowulf's weiner" sequence to be very humorus.

B E C K · « **Reply #34 on:** Mar 25, 2008, 08:09:24 AM »

I would've found it funnier if they had hidden it behind very small things, like an apple.

ChelseySuzie · « **Reply #35 on:** Mar 25, 2008, 12:55:35 PM »

Or an arrowhead.

Sam · « **Reply #36 on:** Mar 25, 2008, 02:28:07 PM »

Or behind someone else's tiny penis.
