Oo nga no

Mister George Lucas, someone has finally replaced you as the The Worst Scriptwriter I Have Ever Had The Good Fortune To Come Across.

With lines like these,

"Maybe it was your magic that brought me here..."
"I hope that magic brings you back..."
"All I ever wanted was you."

it is inevitable that Mr. Lucas' place goes to none other than (DUN DUN DUN!) The Guy Who Wrote The Script For Beowulf! ( I don't know his name, but not as if I want to anyway...)

I did a bit of poking around, and found that Beowulf was actually released back in 1999. Hm. I thought it was done back in the seventies or something. Considering that it was done during that year and not waaay before, I'd have to say it's really mediocre. Still, the fuzziness of EVERYTHING keeps you guessing, and therefore, watching; either that's accidental or the people behind this are actually smarter than they look.

Wikipedia says:

-The movie comes from the same producer as Mortal Kombat.

-Beowulf has an industrial techno soundtrack.

-The screenplay was written by Mark Leahy.

AHA. So, Mark Leahy, you are now The Worst Scriptwriter I Have Ever Had The Good Fortune To Come Across.


But.

Don't think the movie isn't good. Okay, so it's hellishly bad, but rent it out, grab some friends and you'll die either laughing, annoyed or possibly inspired enough to write the cattiest, most sarcastic review about this unepic epic.

Watch out for Grendel's mom (the blonde biker-babe-slash-stripper-slash-alien). We were freaked and scandalized by her; Who'd ever thought we were gonna see her having some orgasms with Hrothgar?


Some good news: another Beowulf movie is coming up next year. But the best part about it is

NEIL GAIMAN COWROTE THE SCRIPT.

And he's also an executive producer.

He had been mentioning it on his blog several times already; it was just a while ago that I made the connection, after Zarah said something about it at lunch.

Gaiman will not disappoint. I hope it will be really good.

Speaking of him, his daughter Holly had her birthday two days ago. SEE? Great people (or people related to great people) are born in June. Dan Brown celebrated his last June 22.
Hahaha, yabang. But I love June.

Events Com screening went well. Although I was shaking so bad that I wanted to stop using my hand to further emphasize points, because it was flapping around and looked like it could hit someone.

Ang hirap maging third year.
