You know you're really sick when six pain killers have absolutely no effect on your physical state.

*moan*

(I know, I know - I should be braving the pain naturally and suffering in silence like the gods intended, right?)

In other news...

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT THERE ARE 2 BEOWULF MOVIES!?

All this time I've been under the misimpression that the 2006 Beowulf & Grendel movie was the one with the screenplay written by the not-as-awesome-as-Gene-Wolfe-but-still-pretty-fracking-awesome Neil Gaiman! My expectations were crushed when it received terrible reviews (from critics and reliable friends alike) and I still haven't watched it.

However, today I was catching up on my pop trivia by reading Wiki bios when I stumbled across this:
"Beowulf is a motion capture film starring Ray Winstone and Angelina Jolie with a scheduled release date of October 2007"

[gasp!]

I blame all of you who know me well! Why didn't you use your Esper powers and correct my error earlier?

In any case, I suppose I can take pleasure in the fact that my disappointment was all for naught and I now have 2 hopefully-good-movies-cross-your-fingers to look forward to - Stardust and Beowulf.

Rejoice!*

Thank you for qualifying that Gaiman praise with a 'not as awesome as Gene Wolfe.'

Hee hee.
